But one must look at the statement of ALA himself as thought provoking when he said, "Concepcion wanted it more," because it can only mean that Banal wanted it less.
The question is then raised, is Tony himself taking a closer look at Banal's "desire"? Is that what is meant by that statment, given the fact that Tony himself is circumspect about his take on why Banal refused to beat the count, as he merely said, "I do not know what was on his mind"?
If that is so, then there's a bigger problem than just the apparent physical issues. Lack of desire is much more difficult to cure than stamina issues, I think.
Tony is an experienced boxingman; 20 years in the sport. On top of that, he is like a father to Banal. He is in the best position to do something about it. But before he can administer the cure, he has to know the ailment. His statements above tell me that he thinks he does, and I believe he's right.
Lack of desire? Come on. His body broke down. It gave up on him. Period.
He even collapsed on the way to the dressing room according to Ed Picson.
Agree! The desire is there but the flesh just could not deliver. IMO of the fight, conditioning
plays the most signficant factor in AJ's loss if the loss in potassium issue is true. If he is
a well conditioned fighter, he could have lost or knocked out of the fight but not to the
extent of having lost his senses and strength after the fight.
I think ALA should concentrate on this aspect of conditioning.
One this is sure here ALA staff are not that dumb not to learn from these experiences.
They will bounce back.
I am assuming that you know better than Mr. Aldeguer himself because those are not what he was quoted as having said in the interview that started this thread.
Edit: Some of ALA's statements are also quoted by new town in his adjoining post.
