This is just our opinion, no bad blood.” He added, “If anything, it signifies that the bad blood is over when he might let me use his gloves, no boxing, no life for this fight.” Garcia wants to use gloves of No Boxing No Life, a brand owned by Eddy Reynoso, the manager and boxing coach for Canelo Alvarez.
