    As a Liverpool lad around the same age group as these brothers i can honestly say they are without doubt the best family to come out of Liverpool. Even when you see their dad in the gym in aintree he is always nice to ppl and polite. They are a proper working class family who are just really good at boxing

      Ye I agree TBF at least Garcia wants the big fights or maybe he just knows he's popular and won't be in boxing long annoying that tank beat him cos he's a wee rat who generally fights nobody's his best win is Garcia or Pitbull Cruz which he scraped a win and basically said he'll never rematch him , really hope Haney or shakur or even loma before he gets too old fight tank and give him a good spanking
      Garcia is decent but let's be honest he barely beat Luke Campbell he's no business fighting any of the top guys he seems a good lad but tbh doubt he beats anyone decent at 135/140 Haney beats him easy I reckon he's the best if the lot I think him and shakur are miles ahead others at 135/140 then tank
      Garcia struggles to beat anyone good ie Haney,shakur,tank as proven even Mattias,teo,Pitbull Cruz, he maybe beats barosso,rolly,struggles even with Taylor v caterall winner fair play he's earning good money and has balls so good on him

    Smith was lucky to catch a belt off a very weakened Groves (I think the fight was 6 weeks after Groves dislocated his shoulder against Eubank and made it worse as he fought on with it as he knew he was up on points)Who did he fight that was elite? He was gifted the decision against Ryder (Usual promoter skullduggery) and he got dominated by Canelo from his shell then got smashed to pieces by Beterbiev.

    Remember at one point I thought this guy was gonna be one of the best ever, watched his first like 7-8 fights and they were nearly all first round KO’s. Fell off a bit.

    My dad 3 off my uncle's all fought but thai boxing i had my first fight at 11 against a teenager.. i was a tall kid and used to get put in with bigger lads when i won national title boy still remember his name sandy he smashed my nose with a knee in the second round .. anyway when i ended up a dad two boys i put them into judo i thought back to me as a kid at school struggling to eat after sparring hard against bigger lads and just wanting to make my dad and uncle who was European champion proud .. but getting kicked and punched kneed in the head isn't good for you and i didn't want that for my kids .. but the oldest became 2 time national champion and a sponsored athlete but then joined a mma gym and wants to be a fighter but hes 15 now 🤷🏻 so im not going to stop him thats his thing hes obsessed with training.. but its a tough sport and i didn't want to watch my son getting punched in the head so grappling since he was 4.. but hes 15 now 5ft11 a big strong lad and its keeping him off the streets fit and obsessed with training.. but i wouldn't have put them into boxing as kids .. yeah take them on the pads in the house teach them the basics but competition wise judo also done sambo basically Russian judo with leg locks .. but standing there just throwing punches to the head 🙄 no i didn't want to see them getting punched nose smashed ect like i did

    Callum Smith passing comment on garcia getting opportunities his ability doesn't merit. That precisely sums up his very own career. Beat an injured George groves, robbed John ryder of the win and was done a favour in that result. And then battered senseless by canelo and beterbiev. He's never been able to compete with the top boys. His brothers were also done a few favours in their career also. Particularly Paul who turned up ridiculously over Weight to face andre ward. Totally unprofessional
