Ryan Burton catches up with trainer Robert Garcia to discuss Nonito Donaire's upcoming fight with Fernando Montiel, strategy and more.

Ambitious lightweight contender Brandon 'Bam Bam' Rios is now less than three weeks away from his first world title opportunity when he faces off with WBA champion Miguel Acosta at the Palms Casino and Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada. It's hard to think of a character in the sport who made as big of a splash as Rios did last year and the 'champion' tag would only heighten his appeal.

Trainer Robert Garcia was in the corner for ex-champion Antonio Margarito during his Nov. 13, unanimous decision loss to eight-division titlist and WBO welterweight (147 pounds) and WBC junior middleweight (154 pounds) champion Manny Pacquiao that was televised on HBO pay per view and promoted by Top Rank Promotions.

BoxingScene.com was advised by trainer Robert Garcia that former three-time welterweight champion Antonio Margarito will not return to the ring until a proposed rematch with Miguel Cotto, which is likely going to take place on June 11 in New York City. Cotto is taking an interim fight on March 12 when he defends his WBA junior middleweight title against Ricardo Mayorga at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
