    Does Robert even train Marcos Maidana?

    from the videos I've seen they have another trainer with Marcos. Is this like the Donaire deal with RObert Garcia as a figurehead for the mexican fanbase?

    If this is true, I take my hat off to the wealth of Robert Garcia.

    Easy money.. can't even help prep the 2012 FOTY fight a 2x Olympian, all gold amateur with over 300 bouts.. just shows up at the end.. what a ****** way to train in my opinion. The connection between a fighter and trainer is very important.

      Robert is the trainer of the year. Who else can train a fighter through the phone?

        He puts in his share of work with Marcos.. Every time I have been to his gym he is working with him on the mitts, giving advice, overseeing his sparring, etc... I do know that Marcos does a lot of work outside of the gym with S & C Coach Cecilio Flores...

        Another thing about the gym is that there are a lot of trainers who sometimes have to fill Robert's shoes since he is often out of town traveling...

          The most over rated trainer in boxing hands down.

              I mentioned that before. If im paying you to train me, its for the whole camp. I guess next he can train him threw facebook.. Then fight night he can tweet the cornermen instructions.

                He trained him over the phone for his Rigo fight. Garcia just seems to be more of a consultant than a trainer.

                  I think he does train him but there may be an assistant trainer or fitness trainer that helps train him. I have read on boxing scene quotes from Maidana with him referring to Robert as his trainer. He seems to be improving and I think he will KO Lopez.
