“All that’s working out in a good way,” said the mentor.
“It [Estrada]’s difficult for Bam, Bam does what Bam needs. Bam told me ‘on the off chance that it’s not Estrada, I’d prefer sit tight a couple of months for a battle’. He said he would have rather not battled in the event that it was not Estrada, so we got him the battle and Estrada’s an extremely experienced warrior, pound-for-pound, he’s a Mexican legend. He may be the most skilled Mexican on the planet at the present time. I’m not saying the best, since we have folks like Canelo, however he may be the most capable right now.”

The 34-year-old Estrada is colossally regarded. He turned expert in 2008 and in his last battle, December 2022, crushed Roman Gonzalez by means of a greater part choice, overcoming the future Lobby of Famer briefly time.
“It’s an extraordinary test,” Garcia said of the Estrada battle. “Bam likes “In any case, that. He loves those difficulties. He would rather not keep down, battling folks that no one knows, that make no difference for him. He needs to battle the best.”
Which carries us to the 27-0 (24 KOs) Inoue, who crushed Luis Nery in a thrill ride in the Tokyo Vault the week before. Garcia isn’t sure if they would engage the battle, given the weight errors, yet in addition said this present time isn’t the opportunity for hypothesis.
“We need to zero in on Estrada at this moment. We need to zero in on what’s straightaway,” added the coach. “That is two divisions [up] so we must see that everything works out in a good way on June 29, after that we will see what we need to do; 118 [bantamweight] is likely something that we could presumably consider, however Inoue is 122 [super bantamweight], so it’s a major distinction.
“Inoue is pound-for-pound No. 1 or No. 2 on the planet, so it’s intense, yet we’re not contemplating that, we’re zeroing in on Gallo Estrada.”
