Mickey Bey is dedicating much of his time to training emerging flyweight “King” David Garcia, 16.
Garcia recently turned pro last weekend in Mexicali, Mexico, stopping Jorge de Lara Malo (2-18), 32, of Mexico in the first round.
Bey, a former world titleholder at lightweight, has transitioned into coaching, working with notable fighters like Devin Haney. Garcia (1-0, 1 KO), of Phoenix, Arizona, might be the next breakout sensation. While the realization of his potential is surely years away, Bey holds the young fighter in high regard, comparing his footwork and aggressiveness to two elite fighters – Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez and Terence Crawford.
