Via Jack Tiernan: Famous lightweight candidate Ryan Garcia recently surprised many fans with his decision to change coach Eddy Reynoso to replace Joe Goosen.
Although Ryan (21-0, 18 KOs) was vague about the reason for the change, he did say he needed “time” from his coach.
Obviously, with Reynoso juggling many famous boxers in his cage, one of which is Canelo Alvarez, he may not have time to make room for young Ryan.
Warriors have to be selfish because they have only one profession, while those who train and promote will have warriors that keep coming to them.
In Ryan’s case, he may feel that he’s not given enough time with Reynoso to justify staying with him.
Additionally, Canelo’s recent negative comments to the media about Ryan may have influenced his decision. If Ryan resented what Canelo said in a recent interview, it’s understandable that he would move on.
Only Canelo knows why he made his comments about Ryan Garcia public. Was it jealousy on his part? It’s no secret that Ryan is very popular on social media and has a huge following of teenagers. Canelo, 31, is no longer young.
Does Canelo resent having a young boxer almost as famous as he is, if not more, in his cage? Canelo must have been weird to let Ryan work out at his gym and attract so much attention.
Did Ryan Garcia sense Canelo’s jealousy? You never know. When you have an old primate stalking his potential replacement Working out in the same gym, it can cause some jealous feelings.
If you’re Ryan, you don’t want to be in that environment.
Given Canelo’s high visibility, his comments about Ryan were read by many boxing fans. Ryan might not like being publicly criticized in this way by his workout buddy Canelo.
Goosen has a lot of experience
“Joe Goosen, we talk a lot about experience. Some things you don’t know until you go through them,” Shawn Porter told Porter Way Podcast about Ryan Garcia breaking up with Eddy Reynoso.
“I think Joe will give Ryan Garcia some experience that he might not have had before. Some different techniques, some boxing, some boxing IQ to do certain things that I don’t think anyone has ever touched on Ryan Garcia.
“Every coach has their style,” says Porter. “Maybe Eddy’s style is more about aggressive attack, setting certain punches and I’m 100% speculating, but maybe CHEAPyan was looking for something different.
“He discovered that he could get that from Joe. I think Joe [Goosen] is a kind of guy’s script. So he will probably circumvent all these situations. ‘Here’s what you do when this happens and sort of from A to Z it, literally.
“And he would probably break it all down for Ryan, and it would be rudimentary and meaningful in such a way that he would be able to see things faster and be able to react faster,” said Porter.
Ryan has been with Reynoso since 2018, winning five matches against the famous coach. In Ryan’s final game, he was knocked out by Luke Campbell in the second round and looked very vulnerable.
When comparing Ryan’s performance in that battle to the way he fought before Reynoso took over as his coach in 2018, he didn’t look improved.
If Reynoso doesn’t help Ryan improve and doesn’t have time for him to improve, then he clearly needs to move on.
This often happens with famous coaches. Once they have so many masters in the cage, it can be difficult to find time for all of them to keep them happy.
As such, fighters will continue when they feel like they’re not making progress under a busy coach or getting the time they want with them.
Ryan Garcia working inside?
“Perhaps we should go check out the camp,” said Porter. “A lot of fighters are uncomfortable going inside because simply, if I have a knife and I step back, you can’t touch me,” said Porter, saying that Goosen likes to let his fighters. fight. inside.
“The closer I get to you, the more it is your responsibility to touch me with that knife. Now, if I were to lean on you, a lot of guys don’t want to be around that close because they know something is going to come back.
“Joe is a tactician in fighting from the inside, and I think he helps people feel comfortable fighting inside. Inside combat, there is an art to it. When it’s finished, that’s great.
“The first thing that comes to mind is Andre Berto doing a shoulder rotation. You don’t just get it overnight,” said Porter when asked if a fighter could evolve into an inside fighter quickly.
“Just like you can’t spend the night with your body, you can’t stay comfortable overnight. The best thing I’ve learned in life is that you have to be comfortable with being uncomfortable.
“I won’t say any names, but I heard about a boxer in camp with Joe and he said, ‘Joe wants me to fight inside and that’s not my fighting game; that’s not what i do. ‘ It was a collision of heads.
“Joe said, ‘No, we’re going inside today,’ and he said, ‘I’m not an inside fighter.’ ‘I don’t give af***, you do what I tell you to do,’ and that’s where Joe comes from.
King Ry will need to follow the instructions
“Joe will cut you off,” Porter said of Goosen giving up on a boxer if he is not willing to follow instructions. “Joe doesn’t care about money and Joe doesn’t care about the reputation of the person he’s working with.
“He did it and lived it, so in a lot of ways Ryan had a good thing coming his way because he had a guy who would be strict and really know what he was talking about and have can help him improve and feel comfortable in areas where he is comfortable.
“What happens to a boxer who doesn’t feel comfortable doing it, he will find training spots when he wants to do it. Joe is a lot like my dad. ‘Nothing but this round body punch. That’s all you’re doing. I don’t want to see any collisions. ‘ It’s Joe [Goosen]
