Canelo and Ryan Garcia End Their Bad Blood – ‘VIVA MEXICO’

Canelo Alvarez and Ryan Garcia are no longer on bad terms, having patched things up on social media.

The duo are well aware of each other, having trained alongside Eddie Reynoso. But Garcia left Reynoso in 2021, as the split ended on bad terms. Alvarez had questioned whether Garcia was working hard enough, saying he was wasting his talent. This led to the narrative that Garcia’s focus was on social media rather than trying to be the best fighter.

“Look, Ryan has a lot of talent. But to me in my eyes, he’s wasting a lot of time and wasting his talent. I look at him and don’t see him 100 percent dedicated and, to us, that’s a bad signal.We always remind him as a team to come to the gym, to train, and to learn because you need to be in the gym. You’re learning day-by-day, at the very minimum fighting five times a year,” Alvarez said

Since then, the relationship has slowly changed. Canelo was recently asked about Garcia’s behavior ahead of his fight with Devin Haney on April 20. Garcia can win his first-ever world title by securing The Dream’s WBC Junior Welterweight Belt.

But the fight has been clouded by claims that Garcia is not mentally well. He has broken down on social media, also telling a fan he was ‘high’ during a Live Space interaction. The boxer then admitted that he smokes weed and drinks alcohol. Reports indicated that the New York State Athletic Commission might request a mental health evaluation on the boxer. Canelo responded by urging those around the boxer to help him.

“And as his friend, or like when we used to train together. I wouldn’t let him fight. The only thing I wish right now is that he has people to help him, because he needs it – without judging him. I don’t know what’s going on with him, but I hope he has someone. About the fight – if he was well prepared, it could be a 50/50 fight. Right now, I think it’s going to be very difficult for him,” Canelo said

Also thank you to Eddy Reynoso for all the training you helped me with forever grateful and I’m thankful! From the bottom of my soul. Peso What’s up bro!!!!
