A few days ago, Ryan Garcia stunned the boxing world when he attempted Floyd Mayweather‘s shoulder roll during practice ahead of the Devin Haney fight scheduled for April 20th. In slow motion, the 25-year-old threw a hook to the body and then changed levels while angling out. However, Garcia maintained an even gap between his feet and looked awkward as he tried the shoulder roll.

Lately, Ryan Garcia uploaded pairing videos to impress his fans. In the videos, Garcia looked aggressive. And while in proximity, ‘KingRy’ was able to land hooks and uppercuts. To maintain the momentum, Garcia now uploaded a brief clip of him hitting the mitts. As per the video, while Derrick James sat outside the ring, Garcia’s father Henry Garcia held the mitts for ‘KingRy’. In addition to landing some fast jabs, Garcia was heard saying, “Come on get into the combo.” However, this behavior of Garcia’s did not please Tony Jeffries.

On the other hand, one wondered why Garcia’s father was training ‘KingRy’ instead of Derrick James.
I thought Derrick James was supposed to be training him, but every clip I see is him doing mitts with his dad in the backyard. At least they're in a gym this time.
