Ryan Garcia's Father Insists He Doesn't Owe Canelo Coach Eddy Reynoso Anything

JAKARTA - The war of words between boxing stars Ryan Garcia and Canelo Alvarez continues to cause new controversy.

Over the past few weeks, the statements issued by the two boxers gradually grew hotter. Their words were not at all well received by the boxing world.

Now, a third person is involved. Henry Garcia, who is Ryan's father, talks about the possible debt his son has at the Canelo gym.

"When it comes to money owed to someone, I think the right thing to do is to settle it between them and not involve a third party. I respect Canelo, but he has to let Eddy (Reynoso) fend for himself," Henry told Hub TV.

Ryan's father accused Canelo's coach of irresponsibility and, at times, lack of dedication. He stated Reynoso had other priorities at Canelo's gym.

"Eddy is a big man, Ryan is a big man. Let him pick up the phone and sort things out and count the numbers," Henry continued.

"We have to clarify what happened with the weeks he wasn't in the gym. If you go to work, you get paid, if you don't go, you don't get paid. That's how it works."

Ryan left Team Canelo because he felt they weren't paying enough attention to him, and he wasn't the first to leave the gym.

But, usually when a boxer leaves Reynoso, he then accuses the boxer of being undisciplined and unwilling to follow the rules properly.

"I love Eddy and the whole team they have there but sometimes you have to wonder why the other fighters left," Henry continued.

"Maybe Ryan told the truth about the reason he left there. They had Frank Sanchez, Vergil Ortiz and my son and no coach showed up. They couldn't say they weren't disciplined."
