Garcia’s momentum eventually passed as he was sidelined for the rest of the year due to a combination of mental health rehabilitation and right wrist surgery. During his time away from the ring, Reynoso’s star pupil Canelo Alvarez chastised Garcia and openly questioned his work ethic.
Although Garcia recently decided to leave Reynoso’s stables to join forces with coach Joe Goossen, the 23-year-old insists there was a lack of one-on-one care during their friendly farewell, nothing else.
“It has nothing to do with bad blood, ego or any unpleasant feelings,” Garcia said in a self-recorded video. “It’s just a matter of time, know that Eddy is very busy and I respect that.”
Regardless of what goes on behind the scenes, Garcia holds no malice against the multiple-time Coach of the Year award winner.
Next up for the young star, is a date with fellow lightweight, Emmanuel Tagoe. Both are scheduled to officially end on April 9, at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.
While he’s considered a sizable favorite, considering how much Garcia wants to achieve in his boxing career, he refuses to drop the ball in his comeback bout.
