Promoter Oscar De La HoyaGolden Boy Promotions) surprised by not supporting his main star, the eternal lightweight contender American Ryan Garcia (22-0, 18 KOs) in a dispute with the legendary boxers Floyd Mayweather and Saul Canelo Alvarez.
It all started last year when Canelo accused Garcia of a lack of discipline and a disregard for boxing. It continued this winter, when Ryan left coach Eddie Reynoso for Joe Goossen, later accusing the ex-mentor of having only time to work with Alvarez. Later, the young man broke up in earnest, to which Mayweather even reacted, although you definitely can’t call him Canelo’s sidekick.
Floyd, in response, got from Garcia, after which the promoter of the fighter De La Hoya was asked to comment on the situation. He surprised
supporting stellar colleagues: “Experienced fighters, as well as legends and world champions, still need to be respected. You need to respect those who listen to people. I’m on Mayweather and Canelo’s side in this debate.”
Nevertheless, De La Hoya still did not miss the opportunity to throw a hairpin towards his ex-fighter Alvarez, hinting that he first became world champion in a clear mismatch: “I still want to clarify one point. You know, when Ryan comes out for his first championship fight, then his opponent will definitely be someone cooler than Matthew Hatton … “
The situation is also
Henry Garcia commented, Ryan’s father/coach. He recalled the words of Canelo that Reynoso allegedly did not even pay off: “I respect the Canelo team, because they have achieved a lot. But if one of them says something about Ryan that he strongly disagrees with, then definitely wait for an answer. This is what happened. It seems to me that it is not necessary to constantly recall that situation. Moreover, this is a private matter of only two – Ryan and Reynoso. Canelo has nothing to do with it.”
“Ryan owes Eddie money? Henry Garcia throws up his hands. “I think they decided everything among themselves. Just to remind you, Ryan paid full dues even when he was in the gym without Eddie. And this moment also needs to be taken into account, don’t you think? In any case, we really love Canelo’s team very much. I love and respect them all.”
Garcia will have his next fight this weekend – he will fight with ex-world champion Dominican Javier Fortuna.
