Canelo Alvarez, once a mentor now filled with worry, casts a watchful eye on Ryan Garcia. Their story, once one of shared sweat and dreams in the gym, has morphed into a tale of concern. Even Garcia used to train under Eddy Reynoso. However, he left the gym as he felt ignored a lot of times. Will Garcia heed the warnings of his former friend, or will he forge his path, even if it leads to a fall?

Canelo’s upcoming fight with Jaime Munguia might share the spotlight, but fans will still have something else to look at. All eyes will be on Garcia to see if he listens to the voice of experience in his corner. Most probably he will, since he recently showed his gratitude for the undisputed super middleweight champion, who helped him train for the Devin Haney fight. He also included the Mexican singer Peso Pluma in his ‘thank you’ post.

Ryan Garcia talks about his time spent with Canelo Álvarez

Ryan Garcia, a prodigy with a troubled mind, steps into the ring on April 20th. His opponent? The undefeated Devin Haney, a champion shrouded in less drama, but just as hungry for victory. Garcia’s past haunts him. Erratic behavior and social media firestorms cast a shadow over his training. For some time, Garcia joined the training camp of Alvarez once again. So, in his recent Instagram post, Garcia wrote, “No amount of hate can separate our Mexican Bond @canelo @pesopluma.

Garcia added, “Thank you canelo for all the lessons and teachings you gave me. Also thank you to @caneloteam for all the training you helped me with forever grateful and I’m thankful! From the bottom of my soul.” In this wholesome post, he had some words for Peso Pluma as well.

He stated, “Peso What’s up bro!!!! Thanks for showing me love bro appreciate you. You supported me thru twitter checking in on me and I’m grateful for that. God bless you.” He also promised that he’ll bring the WBC title to Mexico, and he’ll make his time worth it. On the other hand, Canelo Alvarez raised concerns and stated that Garcia shouldn’t be allowed to fight.
