In a recent interview with reporters, the famous boxing coach Robert Garcia officially threw an olive branch to former welterweight world champion Errol Spence Jr. (Errol Spence Jr.), hoping to cooperate with Errol Spence Jr., who had just broken up with his coach Derrick James, to cooperate with him and receive his own coaching training.
Just last week, Coach Derrick James publicly admitted in an interview with reporters that he is no longer working with Errol Spence Jr. In fact, there have been rumours of a conflict between Errol Spence Jr. and Derrick James after Errol Spence Jr. lost to Terence Crawford last July. In that bout, Errol Spence Jr. was knocked out three times by Terence Crawford and eventually lost all of his World Title titles.
However, Errol Spence Jr. continued to train with Derrick James after the defeat until recently. Derek James admitted in an interview that he and Errol Spence Jr. have not communicated for several weeks.
After learning the news, Robert Garcia immediately courted Errol Spence Jr. When asked by reporters if he would like to train Errol Spence Jr., Robert Garcia replied in the affirmative. He told reporters that he could use a similar approach he used when training Marcos Maidana as a blueprint for Errol Spence Jr.'s future training.
"If Errol Spence Jr. contacts me, I will definitely consider talking to him and I would love to do so because those are also challenges for me. Look no further than Marcos Maidana. When he came to me, he played the best performance of his career and got the best income of his life. Sometimes, fighters need something like this. Maybe Errol Spence Jr. needs something like that too. Robert Garcia told reporters.
Robert Garcia also praised Errol Spence Jr.'s presentation style in the interview, and believes that with his help, Errol Spence Jr. will make greater progress and only need to be fine-tuned overall.
"Errol Spence Jr.'s style of play is already fantastic, he was one of the best fighters in the world, and he has been at the top of the world P4P rankings for many years. In my opinion, Errol Spence Jr. just needs a few minor tweaks. I admit that coaching Errol Spence Jr. was also a challenge for me. ... But I would love to talk to him and make some plans for him. Robert Garcia spoke to reporters detailing his plan.
However, Robert Garcia also stressed that he had to discuss it with the team. "I also have a team and I'm going to discuss everything with my team and they shouldn't be against it, why should they be against it? We can help him get better. Robert Garcia stressed to reporters.
Robert Garcia once met Errol Spence Jr. as an opponent in the boxing ring, when Errol Spence Jr. and Robert Garcia's younger brother Mitch Garcia had a matchup, and Robert Garcia Jr. was impressed by the strength of Errol Spence Jr. in that match.
