00:00All right, gentlemen, you received the instructions
00:02of the dressing room, know what I expect?
00:03A good, clean fight.
00:05Recibieron las instrucciones con la pelea limpia.
00:07Golpe legales, legal punches, here for you,
00:09legal punches, here for you.
00:10Touch gloves, look to both of you.
00:11Buena suerte a los dos.
00:13If you saw where Raúl Cáiz Jr.
00:16marked the legal punches on Ricardo Fernández,
00:18you saw a stab wound that he suffered
00:21when he was 15 years old,
00:23part of a gang fight out there in Logroño, Spain.
00:27He says, you know what?
00:29They don't take kindly to South Americans out there in Spain.
00:32There's a lot of gangs, and that's not the only one.
00:34His left elbow, the side of his ribs,
00:37he has been in some wars outside of the ring.
00:41So he says at least Garcia doesn't have knives,
00:43but, Tim, he knows how to use his fists.
00:45You know, Fernández has never been stopped, either.
00:51Yes, and you can look at his record,
00:53and you're saying 15 and 13, well,
00:55you look at the 13 losses,
00:57they're all mostly against undefeated guys.
00:59Tim, nine of his 13 losses against unbeaten opponent.
01:03This is his ninth undefeated opponent.
01:05The other eight were 42 and 0.
01:08So, yeah, there's gonna be losses on your record
01:10when you challenge yourself,
01:12and you're brought in as the B-side,
01:13like Fernández in,
01:15and he takes a big left hook there from Alain Garcia.
01:18And, you know, top ranks in heavy need
01:21of getting Garcia some more rounds.
01:25And that's why this fight was presented to him,
01:27because Fernández, like I said, he's never been stopped.
01:31You know, he understands how to, you know,
01:34control the tempo inside the fight.
01:36He understands how to hide.
01:38He knows how to get his offense off,
01:39stay safe, you know, and go the distance.
01:44So the thing is, I want to see if Garcia can stop him.
01:49Can he be the first one? Can he be different?
01:52That's what I want to see right now.
01:54You're talking about 42 rounds and 14 fights
01:56for Alain Garcia.
01:57Yeah.
01:58174 rounds and 28 fights for Ricardo Fernández.
02:02So double the fights, a lot more rounds,
02:05132 more rounds.
02:10You know, I was doing some research,
02:12you know, in my room,
02:14and I got a benchmark for, you know,
02:18I got a benchmark for fighters
02:21that are thinking about challenging themselves
02:22for a world title.
02:26100 rounds.
02:27That's when you're prepared.
02:28100 rounds.
02:30That's when you're prepared for a championship fight.
02:33I had about 113 rounds.
02:36Um, Floyd Mayweather had 63 rounds.
02:40I mean, you know, there's different levels to this,
02:44but 100 rounds is about accurate, I believe,
02:48to be ready for a championship.
02:49Shakur Stevenson had 96 rounds
02:51before he fought for a world title.
02:53Sounds about right.
02:54Nice left hook from Garcia moments ago
02:57as Fernández answers with a jab.
03:00What's the challenge of facing a smaller,
03:02stocky fighter like Fernández?
03:04Well, they get underneath you.
03:06A lot of times you can overshoot.
03:07You overshoot, and they drop down below.
03:10You end up on the top of them.
03:11Just imagine walking into a small table, right?
03:14It's going to fold you over.
03:16That's what happens.
03:17And it's really hard and difficult sometimes
03:19to even get down to their body.
03:21Small, you know, they don't have the big surface areas
03:24like taller opponents do.
03:26Stop.
03:27No, no, no.
03:28Here we go.
03:29Box.
03:2910 segundos.
03:30Para la capana.
03:3110 seconds.
03:34Time!
03:35Well, listen in to Gloria Alvarado
03:38over at Alan Garcia's corner with Marvin
03:42Timonio chiming in.
03:43How's your back?
03:44Pretty good.
03:44You're good.
03:45Pretty good.
03:46Just keep pacing yourself like that, OK?
03:48Pacing yourself.
03:49He can't touch you.
03:50He can't touch you.
03:51Just boom, boom.
03:52Get a little closer, OK?
03:53You're still a little far, giving him room to move.
03:55Walking him down, walking him down, double jab.
03:57Change it from the body.
03:58Now change it on top.
03:59But look it.
04:00Don't open your right hand so wide.
04:02Stay low, stay low.
04:03Boom, shoot it from here and here.
04:04He's expecting the hand now.
04:05Yeah, he's expecting it.
04:06Come up on top.
04:07That's why I change the punch, all right?
04:09Hey, give me some hand things too.
04:11Boom, back.
04:12Here, here, boom, boom, all right?
04:15Be confident.
04:16Be confident in your work.
04:17But also, don't get careless on your offense, OK?
04:19Be confident in your work, all right?
04:21Don't worry about these people.
04:23All right, let's go, baby.
04:25Last time we saw Alan Garcia, he was
04:27in against a rugged fighter in Michael Lopez Villagrana.
04:31Stopped him in the third round.
04:33But usually, whatever Gloria Alvarado says,
04:35it's like a joystick that Alan Garcia just does.
04:39And Gloria said, you know what?
04:42It's like the joystick, the Bluetooth
04:44was off on that joystick.
04:46So now, we're going to listen to her here
04:48with our modified ESPN Plus ringside coverage.
04:51Gloria Alvarado with instructions for Alan Garcia.
04:59Resta, Ricardo, resta.
05:01Keep walking on cintas.
05:04Good, good.
05:04Now, the right hook on top.
05:06Boom, boom, there you go.

05:13Stay low, front knee's low.
05:14Touch him with the up jab.

06:06Then catch and shoot.
06:08Right there, keep working.
06:10You got the right hook, pa.
06:14Where's that left uppercut?
06:18Shovel it, kid.
06:19Touch, touch.
06:20Right there, right in la boca del sombrero.
06:23There you go.
06:25Do it again, keep touching.
06:27Keep turning, keep turning, keep turning.
06:30Keep turning, go behind the gloves with those hooks, kid.

06:40Shoot the straight right downstairs.
06:45Catch.
06:46Boom, shorten it up.
06:50Give me the six and sevens.
06:51Start off with the jab first, open him up.

07:23and then shoot to the body, kid.
07:27Get closer.

07:33Ten seconds, stop at the bell.
07:34Boom, there you go.
07:35Do it again.
07:37Body, kid, body.
07:42Time.
07:48Now let's keep touching him to the body now, okay?
07:50Just touch him to the body.
07:51I want clean shots,
07:53but I want those hooks on top to be nice and short.
07:56You're opening up because you're too tall.
07:57You've got to stay low with him, kid.
07:59Okay, that's how you're going to shorten up.
08:01This elbow's got to stay tight, all right?
08:03I want those hands up.
08:05What are we going to do now?
08:07Shorten up because of the elbows.
08:08You're touching him in the body.
08:10What are we going to do again?
08:11Work the body, work the body.
08:12All right.
08:13Conde el ve el putazo, mete el putazo.
08:15When you see the shot, face the shot.
08:16His body's open.
08:17Touch, touch here, boom, right here.
08:19But don't stay there too long, all right?
08:22See how his mouth is?
08:24I like it.
08:26Can you give me some faster jabs?
08:27I know you got more speed off that jab.
08:29But coordinate your fast hands with your fast feet, all right?
08:32All right, boss.
08:34Let's go, seconds out, mouthpiece in.
08:37Mouthpiece.
08:39Protector.

08:59There you go.
09:00Don't pull back, kids.
09:01Stay close to him.
09:02Keep your defense tight.
09:03You can touch him any time you want.
09:06Right there, shoot at the top and then the body.
09:08The body too now.
09:13He's there, he's there, he's there.
09:15Pouch, there you go.
09:16He's there, he's there, he's there.
09:18Pouch, there you go.
09:20Now shorten up the hook on top.
09:22Again?
09:23Watch your elbow, huh?
09:23Box.
09:241-2, 1-2, 1-2.
09:25To the chest.
09:26There you go.
09:28Now close the gap a little.
09:30Touch him, he's walking into your right hook.
09:32Walk your front foot, don't follow him.
09:34There you go.
09:36Make his ring small, walk the front foot.

11:48Tiempo.
12:04Look it, he's slowing down now.
12:06He knows you have a lot of speed and power.
12:08He's not doing anything, OK?
12:10So I need you to shoot three, four shot combinations,
12:12boom, boom, boom, and then step over.
12:14Don't pull back out and give him space to get a move, right?
12:17Stay low.
12:18This round, I need a little more pressure, OK?
12:19A little more activity.
12:20This is round three?
12:21Four?
12:22This is four, OK?
12:24He's got four more, so this round, pick it up a little.

14:34Try it again, stay low.
14:36Touch him, measure him, then that right uppercut.
14:41There you go.
14:43Stay low with it.
14:44There's that right, there's that left hook.
14:46There's a left hook right there.
14:47There you go.
14:48Go, go, there you go.
14:49Stay low while you're backing out.
14:50Stay low.
14:51Right there, left hook again.
14:53Pick him up with the left hook.
14:55Boom, there you go.
14:57Now straight.
14:58Recto.
14:59Straight, kid.
15:01Straight shots.
15:02There you go.
15:03Now the body, go downstairs, right hand to the body.
15:06Right hand to the body after that.
15:07Stab him in the stomach.
15:12Stick him to the body, straight right.
15:18On top now, there's that hook.
15:20There's the hook.
15:22There's the hook.
15:23Let him walk into the left hook.
15:25Let him walk into the 3.
15:27Touch, touch first, touch.
15:28Keep touching, walking him back.
15:30Then the 3, keep touching.
15:31When you get close enough, shoot the 3.
15:35Keep touching.
15:36You've got to keep touching first.
15:39Touch, kid, touch.
15:40Keep touching with the jab.
15:41Now the right hand after the double jab.
15:44Up and down with it.
15:45Come on, right there.
15:46Apply pressure right there.
15:47Four shots.
15:4810 seconds.
15:49There you go, open him up.
15:52Listen for that bell.
15:55Hip hold.
15:59Take it away from what we've seen from Alangar Sia so far.
16:04I like what I'm seeing, but I'm more impressed with Fernandez.
16:07I know exactly why he is a-
16:11Never been stopped?
16:12Yeah, never been stopped.
16:13I mean, he's a puzzle.
16:14He really is.
16:15I mean, he's defensively responsible.
16:17He's aware.
16:18He shuffles out of range a lot of times
16:20and makes a bunch of balls short.
16:22He keeps his elbows tight.
16:24You know, on the inside to ward off body shots.
16:27You know, he used lateral movement to ward off pressure.
16:31So, you know, he's very-
16:34He's interesting.
16:36I would say Garcia is doing very well.
16:37He listens well.
16:38That's one thing.
16:39I mean, she is a joystick for real.
16:42There's no doubt about it because everything
16:44she's saying inside the corner, he's actually
16:46doing it inside the ring, which is something special.
16:49But again, it can be a blessing and also can be a curse
16:52because what happens when she-
16:55If she doesn't show up in this corner one day,
16:58what happens then?
16:59He got to be able to operate on his own.
17:00Yeah, you become dependent on listening and reacting.
17:03And sometimes you just got to be reactive
17:05and use your instincts in the ring.
17:08All right, so round five of a scheduled eight-round fight.
17:10Alan Garcia, Ricardo Fernandez.
17:13More of our modified ESPN plus ringside coverage
17:16with Gloria Alvarado.
17:18Step to him, walk.
17:19Stay low, stay low.
17:20Right there.
17:22I see the five when he reaches with the jab.
17:23I see the five.
17:24Stay low, though, stay close.
17:26There you go.
17:27Right there, five, there you go.
17:28Do it again, try it again.
17:29Put your knee down.
17:30Too tall.
17:32Now shorten up the hook.
17:37Go.
17:39Give me a six and seven.
17:40Stay close, though, don't reach for him.
17:42Six and seven, right hand over top
17:43and the left hook to the body.
17:46Stay low.
17:48Six and seven.
17:50Get closer, get closer.

18:07Chop it over the top.
18:12Walk, walk, walk.
18:15Walk, touch the body again.
18:20Balance down, catch his shoulder.
18:21Now touch the body.
18:24Again.
18:25Watch in the back there, Ellen.
18:27There you go.
18:28Up and down.
18:29Body and head, body and head.
18:30Let's go.

18:36There you go.
18:40Over the top.
18:42Good, body shot.
18:43Over the top now.
18:44There you go, now the body.
18:45Now 44, that is 44, five, seven.
18:48There's that left hook to the body, kid.
18:53Shoot the three and then the seven.
18:54Open them up first.
18:55Shoot the hook and then the body.
18:56There you go.
18:59Go to the other side.
19:00Go to the right side.
19:01There you go.
19:04Right hook and right hook to the body.
19:07Right there.
19:08Inside hook, inside hook.
19:10Keep your right hand up, kid.
19:11He's going to, he's got to walk into it.
19:13There you go.
19:14Oh my god.
19:15Yes.
19:17Wow.
19:18Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
19:30In his 28 professional fights, pulls off the upset
19:34with an impressive right hand against Alan Garcia,
19:39who is still not upright.
19:41I saw it coming.
19:44That sequence along the ropes over here.
19:47He was starting to get a little bit complacent.
19:49He was inviting him in.
19:51Every occasionally he was getting timed with shots.
19:54And that was a perfectly timed punch right there.
19:58That's all Hernandez was looking for all night.
20:01He knew he couldn't go punch or crush on him.
20:04He knew it, I couldn't.
20:06He knew that he had more talent,
20:08but what he used was his experience.
20:10He allowed the young man to go ahead
20:12and take his course.
20:14And he made him pay when he least expected it.
20:18That's a big shot right there.
20:20And wow.
20:23I've seen this happen time and time.
20:25Seriously, throughout my career and watching boxing,
20:29this usually happens.
20:32And it usually happens along the ropes.
20:34And a guy stands straight up along the ropes
20:36and he gets clipped with a big shot, a looping
20:38shot that he didn't see.
20:39Tim, we talked about the challenges
20:41of facing a shorter fighter.
20:425'5 against 5'9, he gets underneath you.
20:46And he lands a right hand just like Ricardo Fernandez landed.
20:51And I got to give that corner a lot of credit
20:53because the moment he started to celebrate
20:56and Alan Garcia was still not in good condition,
21:00they said, slow it down, mellow out.
21:02Let's take a look at how this came to be, Tim,
21:05because this young man is a heck of a prospect.
21:08But Ricardo Fernandez came out of nowhere.
21:10Yeah, along the ropes.
21:11Here he is, getting relaxed with his defense.
21:14Oh, didn't I just talk about this?
21:16You did.
21:17Didn't I just talk about this, rolling inside for a right hand?
21:23When you're depending upon catching shots
21:25and not rolling underneath him, this is what can happen.
21:28There he is.
21:29He leans in, he thinks a straight right hand
21:31is coming.
21:32He's anticipating a straight right hand,
21:33but it was a looping shot that he didn't see coming at all.
21:37He blinded himself with that.
21:40Look at that right hand, how he blinds himself.
21:42He never sees that right hand coming.
21:43He blinds himself.
21:45Here it is.
21:46Never saw, and then dropped it right after.
21:50Looking for, guess what, loading up
21:52for a big right hook of his own.
21:53And then you see how his head bounced,
21:56not only on the bottom rope, but twice off the canvas.
22:00And those are the knockouts.
22:01Didn't even need to count.
22:02He gave every opportunity.
22:04Here you see the reaction of Gloria Alvarado,
22:08and she knew what had happened.
22:11Look, that catch and shoot game, I'm just letting you know.
22:15It's a great thing to do, but when you make mistakes like
22:18that, and you misjudge, and you miss time, that's what happens.
22:23I mean, Tim, he had never switched southpaw, right?
22:26He did.
22:26No, he had switched southpaw.
22:28He had done it before in the past.
22:30However, when you start switching,
22:32you start getting your defense confused.
22:35He's rolling into shots.
22:36I keep telling these young fighters out there,
22:38like Crawford is different.
22:40He just doesn't switch just to switch.
22:42There's a purpose to his madness.
22:46He'd switch.
22:46He didn't have to switch.
22:48He would have been perfectly fine in his regular stance.
22:51But he switched along the ropes, leaned in,
22:54thought a right hand was coming, and guess what happened?
22:56A looping right hand met him.
22:58He blinded himself with his hand.
23:01Look, just watch.
23:02Here he is.
23:04He thinks a right hand is coming.
23:06He's going to block it with his back hand, and he's loading up.
23:11The young fighters out there, you don't have to load up.
23:14He's loading up with a right hook.
23:16Never saw that shot coming.
23:18So his momentum is coming towards the shot
23:20that he just got caught with.
23:22And that was a perfectly landed Ricardo Fernandez.
23:2516 victories, only the second time he has a knockout.
23:30You remember, who was it?
23:33Oh, just recently.
23:34Just crossed my mind right now.
23:36Oh, was it?
23:36It wasn't Barrero.
23:38He was a young prospect.
23:40He got knocked out by a left hook.
23:43You know who I'm talking about.
23:45OK.
23:46Man, I forget his name.
23:47I'm sorry.
23:48I'll remember it, and then I'll let
23:49everybody know who I was talking about.
23:51All right, but there's a reaction of Gloria Alvarado.
23:53She knew that shot, and there is the moment.
23:55There is the moment where Ricardo Fernandez is
23:58celebrating in the ring.
23:59And then his corner tells him, he's not in good shape.
24:03And glad to see that Alan Garcia has got his five senses now
24:07back, but what an upset pulled off by Ricardo Fernandez.
24:12We talked about him not getting stopped.
24:15Tim, he got the stoppage.
24:17Carlos Banderas.
24:19Oh, and he was never the same.
24:20Never the same.
24:21All right, let's send it up to Marchullo
24:23for the official time.
24:24Ladies and gentlemen, here inside Desert Diamond Arena,
24:26Glendale, Arizona, this bout comes to a conclusion
24:29at two minutes, 25 seconds of round number five.
24:33For your winner by knockout, Ricardo Fernandez.
24:43That's why you never count out an opponent.
24:45You never overlook the man across the way.
24:49Not that Alan Garcia did it, but just a great punch,
24:53perfectly timed by Fernandez.
24:54It was just a mistake.
24:55Yeah, it happens.
24:56That's what it was.
24:57But that's what happens in our business, a simple mistake.
