He's shown a willingness to let fighters continue despite massive injuries. Does he at some point become a danger to his fighters for his refusal to throw in the towel???
i like margarito but i have not seen one tiny ounce of improvement since he started working w/ garcia. i mean, okay he started to use his jab more. he's also gotten his ass kicked more and his eye broken. twice.
i like brandon rios but where's the training there? he gets hit in the face like a thousand times. even buboy fernandez can teach him to do that.
as far as nonito. come on. you really think robert is teaching nonito anything? robert doesn't know anything that nonito didn't learn when he was 16 years old kickin ass.
Margarito is/was on the way out before he got with Robert. No trainer can really save/help Marg at this or that point he joined Robert.
Why didn't you mention Mikey Garcia?
Robert is an old school guy. Back in the days when boxing was at its height fights would take much more to be stopped than today.
yes and things have developed now.
In Margarito's case against Pacquiao? Yes he was a danger. He should have stopped the fight in 10th round. It was very stupid decision to let Margo in to 11th round, regardless of what Margo himself wanted.
Because of the Margarito fight? Nah, Margarito made the decision of not stopping the fight. Margarito said to his corner that they shouldn't stop the fight, no matter what happened in the ring, the guy was speaking the truth when he said he was willing to die in the ring. Was it a stupid decision? Maybe, but the guy is a warrior and was willing to sacrifice himself till the end.
The main thing here is that the Margarito case is actually rare, since most boxers are not willing to go as far as Margarito and most guys will either stay down or leave the decision to their corner. It's not like every guy out there says "Don't stop the fight no matter what happens" ... most guys just go out there and fight and if things turn bad then it's time for the corner to stop it but they didn't have a direct order to let the fight continue.
I don't think so, I think he is an awesome trainer. The Marg thing was because it was Marg and that's the way Marg wanted it. Marg made this big statement that he wasn't going to get stopped or out like Cotto. And, plus Marg did hurt Pac earlier in the fight.
The problem with Robert Garcia is that IMO, I think like Roach he will wear himself this. Training all these fighters.
He gets a little too much flack for that whole margarito thing. That's up to the doctors and the ref... that was a big fight for cheato... and his last big chance in the sport really. He did hurt pacquiao earlier in that fight so there was that punchers chance.
Hell yes. Sending Margarito out for the 10th round against Pac was inhumaine. And he just generally has his guys fight a stupid fight. I like Mikey and I'm worried he's gonna f**k up his career.
He is more of a danger because he isn't as strict with conditioning of his fighter.
His father made sure he and mikey are in shape and he doesn't do that for his fighters.
He's shown a willingness to let fighters continue despite massive injuries. Does he at some point become a danger to his fighters for his refusal to throw in the towel???
He makes his fighters fight like they got a swinging sack, why the hate.
