“I don’t care if I could win a stupid title that doesn’t mean anything. I care about beating some good fighters.” Ryan Garcia is ready to get back in the ring
“I was like shocked,” Garcia says. “I didn’t quite understand why he would say something like that, especially to the media because he could have definitely taken me somewhere else and told me personally. So I was kind of confused on that. I kind of took it as disloyal because I would never do that to him. I would never speak on him in the gym on what I think he should be doing, or whatnot. We’re a team, we shouldn’t even speak any ill towards each other.
Garcia says he has a handle on his mental health issues. But it has been a struggle. Last spring, Garcia dropped into the gym for a workout. After a few minutes, he says, he just “broke down.” He got into a car with his manager, Lupe Valencia, and began to cry.It was then, Garcia says, he knew he needed help. “Speaking up, asking for help, getting real professional help—it started there,” Garcia says. “And then just enduring, persevering, trying to get better.
“Joe’s a hardworking guy and he’s an old-school type of trainer, and I love that because I’m an old-school type of fighter,” Garcia says. “I like to talk about boxing, I like to study boxing, I like to look at the old fights, talk about the old fights and he has a lot of knowledge. So in my head I knew that was the right fit for me. We already have a beautiful connection.”
