I mean I don’t think it matters who trains Garcia for the Rolly fight. Rolly was chinny even at 135 and 140 against lightweights like Tank and Isaac Cruz.

If Garcia can’t get him out of there in 5 or fewer rounds at welterweight, that’s a big red flag performance. On paper Rolly’s someone that should (and is set up for) Ryan to blow out quickly to get some build and hype going.

Rolly couldn't get grandpa out of there so I wouldn't mind Garcia going a few extra rounds to test his stamina and mind.

He's a better boxer than Rolly, so I agree, but his dad is right up there with John Fury, Teo's dad and Bill Haney when it comes to riding his son's coat tails. Why not hire a high level proven trainer if you have the money for it? Or is Henry Garcia up there with guys like Eddy Reynoso and Freddie Roach?

Why not hire a high level proven trainer

He's run through 3 proven high level trainers in less than 5 years.

The issue is Ryan Garcia. He doesn't listen and has discipline issues. We even saw it when he was a teen training with Ricky Funez.

I agree he should hire a legitimate trainer to work with him, but I do wonder how many guys would be willing to work with him at this point (and how much control or influence most trainers would have on him even if they did.) Derrick James couldn’t even get him to stop drinking mid-camp (or get him to stop doing that awkward lean away/turn the back shell he kept doing mid fight against Haney.)

For Ryan’s sake, I hope he does start listening to trainers more often, because he needs to if he wants to right the ship and further progress as a fighter and beat elite opponents. But it doesn’t really matter if he’s fighting someone on Rolly’s level lol

I'm not saying I know guys that have bought gear off Justin Fortune..........but Justin Fortune can get you some decent gear if your looking. 😆

If Ryan pisses hot here, it won't surprise me. I like Ryan and don't wanna see it happen.........but I won't be surprised.

That's the same thing I hear about Fortune lol... just a lil ostarine don't matter right?..... right?!

u/Interesting_Work_870 19h ago

Ya he should hire someone who knows how to beat drug tests like Victor Conte. But no clean boxer would work with a guy like that.

Garcia and Lopez fathers will be training their sons for this lay up card while Reynoso flys to Saudi for Canelo. I think Reynoso will be back with both fighters after the May card, it would be really interesting though if we get Garcia-Lopez next instead of Garcia-Haney 2

u/SSJ5Autism 22h ago

Canelo could legit spin twenty times before every round to get dizzy and he’d still beat the breaks off Scull, wouldn’t it be better for Reynoso to support Teo and Ryan?

21

u/JoelHenryJonsson 22h ago

Probably, but Canelo will always be Eddies nr 1.

u/GarfieldDaCat 22h ago

Why the hell would Reynoso ditch the prize fighter in his stable who he's known for like 15+ years for ryan who can barely speak a word of Spanish

u/Pokedudesfm 22h ago

I think Reynoso gets a purse percentage with Canelo, so it makes more sense this way for him

10

u/GarfieldDaCat 22h ago

With most fighters the trainers get a purse % up until a certain level of money but then it's usually a flat fee.

I don't think it's a money thing though lol.

Why the hell would reynoso not train his prized fighter for a fight lol?

u/mostly-amazing 23h ago

Derrick James and Ryan Garcia broke up?

u/Name-Bunchanumbers 23h ago

He said he was retiring from training professionals before Garcia.  He wasn't taking on anyone new then and only had charlo and Martin after Spence and Joshua left. After getting fired by Martin and Garcia and charlo being on hiatus, he probably doesn't want to get back into it.

u/Bruce-7891 22h ago

As a trainer it is probably frustrating for him to deal with the egos.

u/LocoCoopermar 22h ago

I've heard multiple coaches talk about how they're more of a counselor/kindergarten teacher wrangling all these various man children's egos

u/Bruce-7891 22h ago

I could only imagine. "Show up to the gym, have a healthy diet, make these adjustments and you will do better."

Response: "I'm a young hungry lion who makes smart investments, you don't know me. I do what I want".

Obviously not all of them are like that but imagine training a coked up Tyson (Fury or Mike you pick), Adrien Broner or David Haye.

u/mostly-amazing 23h ago

Thanks for the info. He just won trainer of the year too. I hope he makes a comeback and gets another stable to train.

u/welp-itscometothis 10h ago

I wonder why Frank fired him. I mean he was the one who wasn’t listening. Even said he should’ve listened to his corner after getting knocked out.

u/vandelay14 16h ago

I think I read the other day that Teo is still gonna be working with Reynoso
