Angel Garcia Had PED Concerns in Matthysse Talks
Angel Garcia says he was concerned about performance enhancing drugs in the negotiations for Danny Garcia's defense of the WBC/WBA junior welterweight titles against Lucas Matthysse on September 14th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Team Garcia faced issues with last year's rematch against Erik Morales. The Mexican veteran tested positive for banned substance clenbuterol. Morales blamed his positive result on tainted beef that he consumed in Mexico. The explanation provided by Morales is certainly possible. Several countries, including Mexico, Canada and China, have faced serious issues with clenbuterol use on livestock. In 2011, the health department raided a Mexican slaughterhouse and found that 68% of the livestock was tainted with clenbuterol.

Matthysse's Trainer on Training, Improving, Garcia's Skill
Some boxing trainers are placed in the spotlight almost as much as the fighters they train, even if it is not of their own choosing. In recent years Freddie Roach, Robert Garcia and Virgil Hunter have come to the fore, particularly as they have trained many top class fighters and world champions. As hard-hitting Argentine Lucas Matthysse continues to rise towards the top of the sport, his trainer will likely come under more scrutiny from boxing fans and television networks. Luis ‘Cuty’ Barrera has trained Matthysse for his entire career. He first came to his attention when Lucas was competing for the Argentine Olympic squad and the young power puncher came to train in Junín, in the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires. Barrera himself was a former fighter who lost to Chris Eubank in the final bout of his career and had 17 knockouts out of 35 victories. Now the biggest battle of their career awaits on September 14 as Matthysse faces WBC and WBA super champion, Danny Garcia.
