Lightweight boxing rising star Ryan Garcia made a big decision to officially end his partnership with current coach Eddie Renoso. Now, Garcia's new coach has been identified as the more senior Hall of Famer Joe Goossen.
It's not clear why Garcia left Renoso, is there a diaphragm between the two sides? Or is Renault unable to focus on training Garcia? The outside world can only guess! There are even rumors that it was Renoso who offered to break up with Garcia, as to why? Probably only the parties know best.
It is understood that in addition to his father Henry Garcia, Garcia also made a major change of blood for the training team, and he talked about related issues in the statement he issued. The statement is as follows:
I want to thank Eddie Renoso for everything he has done, he has supported me since 2018, I have learned a lot from him, both inside and outside the boxing world, we have built an incredible friendship that I will cherish forever and I wish Renoso on behalf of the whole team that he will continue to succeed in his amazing career development.
I gratefully announce that, in addition to my father, Henry Garcia, I am now training under the guidance of Hall of Fame coach Joe Goossen. Goossen's legendary coaching career spanned decades, having worked with several world champions. Growing up, I worked with Gussen and had a good relationship with each other for years, and I couldn't wait to start a new journey. Now, I'm gearing up in the gym in San Diego, and my goal is still to be a world champion.
To be sure, Garcia and Renault have become a thing of the past, he is training with Gusen, and what will Gussen, who has never been smiling, bring to Garcia? It will be very interesting!
Garcia now has a 21-game career record, 18 KO opponents, and has not appeared on stage since defeating Luke Campbell last January, but fortunately a new match has been decided, that is, against African Ghanaian boxer Emmanuel Tiger on April 9, and if Garcia wins well, he plans to challenge 135-pound lightweight first man George Camposos Jr. by the end of the year.
In his previous days with Renault, Garcia had the privilege of being exposed to many things, and at the same time became a brother with Canello Avarez, Oscar Valdez, Andy Ruiz Jr., Frank Sanchez and others.
However, perhaps because she is too young, 23-year-old Garcia is very playful, not completely focused on training and competition, but looks more like an Internet celebrity, focusing a lot of energy on shooting short videos. For this, Avarez criticized it. Avarez said: "Garcia is very talented, but in my opinion, he is wasting time and talent, Garcia is not 100% focused, which is a bad signal for me, I always remind him to come to the gym and that is to focus on training and learning. ”
Avarez's criticism of Garcia is not wrong, and what Garcia now presents to the outside world is some "unprofessionalism", do not think that you are young, and the time of a boxer is often fleeting. Next, we need to see how Different Garcia will be under the new coach. Compared with Renoso, who builds defensive counterattack boxers, Gussen emphasizes the attacking ability of boxers more, and his coaching philosophy is somewhat close to Manny Pacquiao's coach Freddie Roach, Gusen's previous training of Dige Corrales, Chris Ariola, Ruslan Provodinnikov, Rueiras brothers, are all standard attacking boxers, if Garcia can further enhance his attack ability while perfecting the technology, it is not a good thing, afraid that he will ignore the technical ability after focusing on attack.
