Speaking at the press conference, Angel Garcia said, “Yeah, but it doesn’t matter what the people think. At the end of the day, for the people that write that sh*t, they’ve never been punched in the tip of their nose. It’s just people behind desks, man, making all these calls.”
The opinionated trainer also had a message for those critics. He said, “‘Get in the ring!’ Why don’t they try it? Get in the ring with Danny. I don’t want to do it. Sh*t once in a while he slips and punches me, I feel it in my fat toe.”
