Miguel Torres will be keeping a blog describing his time leading up to his WEC 47 bout with Joseph Benavidez at Heavy.com. The first of these blogs has been published and in it he talks a little bit about his training and gameplan. From the entry:
Miguel Torres Prepares for Joseph Benavidez
↵↵I feel really good. I’ve been doing tons of conditioning, working on my wrestling, and a lot on my boxing. I’ve gone to a couple of different boxing gyms to get some training. Working on a good gameplan. I’ve been surrounding myself with some good people and I think it’s gonna help me out a lot. I’m working a lot on being elusive. Moving around, picking my shots, working on my timing. I’ve been watching a lot of Machida’s, Shogun’s , Anderson Silva’s fights. Studying lots of guys that I should be trying to emulate.
↵↵Torres has always seemed far too willing to take shots in his fights in an attempt to give his own back. With small gloves there is just too much risk in eating punches, as Miguel found out when Brian Bowles was able to stop him and take away his title.
↵If Torres can learn to be a bit more selective with when to trade he could advance his career even more than he already has.
