Alex Ariza exclusive: is it a coincidence Manny Pacquiao & Amir Khan lost when we stopped S&C together? (video)

Alex Ariza only worked with Manny Pacquiao on stretching and other peripheral duties before the Filipino legend was beaten by Juan Manuel Marquez in their fourth fight; Freddie Roach had decided Pacquiao’s main strength and conditioning would go in a different direction.

Amir Khan lost access to Ariza’s services when he left Roach for Virgil Hunter, his fortunes fluctuating as he altered his style and S&C work.

Ariza, now reunited with Khan, believes it is more than just coincidence that each man struggled without his intimate knowledge and wider expertise.
