    Robert Garcia is the best boxing trainer for reinventing/improving a fighter

    After Maidana lost to Devon Alexander everyone thought he was done and Robert Garcia turned him into an absolute beast.

    Garcia made Ivan Redkach look really good tonight after a very poor performance in his last fight.

    Thoughts?

        Eh, he's very similar to Roach. He drills offensive fighters to let their hands go, that's about it.

          Maidana is the only fighter he "reinvented", but even Maidana's improvement is way overrated. "Absolute beast?" LOL

            He is a very respected trainer, no doubt, but I reckon you are exaggerating.

            Under Garcia Maidana has improved his conditioning, his jab and ring IQ, I agree, but he'd still struggle against certain styles, he is who he is.

            As for Rios, I wouldn't blame Garcia for his lack of evolution. I don't mean to disrespect, but the kid has already taken one punch too many imo.

              Best Trainer for anyone is Naazim Richardson.

                Maidana actually boxed successfully against mayweather and even countered in parts, nearly knocked him out on the 2nd fight. You should see how crude he was before Garcia.
                Maidana did better than Cotto/Mosley in his first fight. Thats a big improvement if you ask any boxing fan.

                  Has to do with a style matchup just as much as it did improvements. Maidana's "improved" stamina surely took a nosedive in the rematch - possibly the worst physical condition Marcos has ever been in. He looked like the Maidana that fought Alexander in there.

                    Do you think that Alex Ariza's involvement in Chino's first camp and absence in the second had anything to do with his physical conditioning deteriorating in the rematch? I'm not sure but I think it could be a possible variable in that particular situation.
