Q & A: Melissa Hernandez

BY: Dr. Pietro Baio Melissa Hernandez Interview DB-What's your opinion on Holly's Style and defense? MH- If you can call what Holly has a style. Well, she is a master of her craft. She runs around the ring wasting time and running in full force to knock her opponent of balance. She's very good at this but I wouldn't call it a style. More like a rabbit running through your legs to jump in its hole. Defense for her is coming in shape for every fight. I give her that- she's always in shape. DB-… Continue

Sky High Training or Not?

Dr. Pietro Baio DC During a recent dinner with a good friend and top boxing trainer, the old standard of training high and performing low was brought up. You know what I mean and you have seen it on 24/7 with Marquez and Pacquiao. You train in the mountains and then come down for the fight. The same discussion was also brought up again during an interview with a pro boxer. After giving it some consideration I figured I would let everyone know what the purpose behind altitude training is. Also I… Continue

No Electricity like Tyson electricity

During the dim days of his post Buster Douglas career, I would maintain in the face of often fervent opposition that Mike Tyson was over-rated. That he succeeded in a weak era and through the many attempts to recycle the myth he tip toed around any of the risk-laden contenders of the 1990’s. Fighters like Ray Mercer, Ge… Continue
