    Sunday, Manuel Rios, Brandon's Dad and trainer from Garden City's Bad Boyz Gym will fly to Oxnard to begin training him for his title fight against Acosta. Robert Garcia called on Manuel who was Brandon's first trainer.

    No Garcia, huh? Acosta is a different animal. I would think his style would fit right into Acosta's. Good idea to have a back up plan

    Did Garcia say why? Rios just said in an interview everything was going well.

    Hope it's not a case of too many cooks spoiling the broth.

    Manuel has worked with Brandon before several fights. He spent several days in Garden City at Bad Boyz before the Peterson fight.

    Maybe Robert Garcia has too many boxers to handle already. He needs assistants.

    Robert has to train Donaire for the Feb. 19 Montiel fight and also train his brother Miguel Angel for the Matt Remillard fight on March 26.

    Rios should be okay I don't see it as a big deal.
