I came in not to be Anthony's friend. I told him you might not like us and there's been times when he's not happy with us, but I don't care. I want him to win. Sunday morning after the fight, he's going to be happy because the results are there.
I came to camp to be the trainer and get Anthony's respect as a trainer, but I don't want to be his friend either. I learned earlier in my career as a trainer not to be friends with my fighters. They got to know that I come to the gym to give them instructions, they do the work.
We told Anthony, look you might not like us during training camp. We're going to push you to do everything we want you to do. There's going to be days that you're going to complain about us and yeah, those days have been there where [he thinks,] 'You guys don't give me credit for things that I do right.' Well, that's good because we want you to do more. But after the fight you're going to like us. You're going to thank us.
AJ is too used to getting praised that's why he's soft. Curious to see if Garcia had any impact.
