Robert Garcia: record, next fight and profile →
Robert Garcia, the trainer and manager of Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez, has challenged Naoya Inoue's team to send over a contract for a March showdown between the two pound-for-pound stars.
The cycle of movement by junior-middleweight champions is leaving top contender Vergil Ortiz Jnr no choice but to explore his options as a middleweight.
Robert Garcia joins ProBox TV to discuss Giovanni Santillan’s upcoming main event against Abbas Baraou on ProBox TV, Vergil Ortiz Jr.’s move to 160 pounds and his desire to see Ortiz face Jaron “Boots” Ennis. Garcia makes it clear that he still wants Boots vs. Vergil, saying: “The best fight I want before is Boots versus Vergil.” He also discusses potential fights for Ortiz at 160, including Tim Tszyu, Jermall Charlo and Erislandy Lara. Garcia also looks ahead to Bam Rodriguez potentially fighting on the Tyson Fury-Anthony Joshua card in New York and explains why he believes it could set up a huge future fight with Naoya Inoue. Plus, Garcia reflects on Santillan’s loss to Brian Norman and why he believes his fighter is ready to redeem himself against Baral.
Anthony Joshua's former trainer, Robert Garcia says that bringing the heavyweight superfight between Joshua and Tyson Fury to New York City could be detrimental to his former charge, given Joshua’s history in “The Big Apple” and the way his emotions can affect his work in the ring.
Robert Garcia turned down a Netflix documentary about Anthony Joshua because he didn't want to lie about what he sees as Joshua's current physical and mental state.
