Ringside Boxing Show: Gym-dandy trainers Abel Sanchez and Max Garcia talk turkey, stuffing, and the weighting game

World-class trainers like Abel Sanchez (Gennady Golovkin, Murat Gassiev) and Max Garcia (smoking-hot prospect Rubin Villa IV) are experts at getting their fighters in shape in the gym, but those boxers are on their own when nobody’s looking. Thanksgiving Day can be one of those times, when turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, and pumpkin pie are being passed under their noses.

We talk to these boxing gurus about the challenge of keeping their guys on point — and on weight — over the holidays and during those late-night hours when their stomachs are grumbling.

Sanchez and Garcia also talk to us about PEDs, Conor McGregor, Crawford’s invasion of the welterweight division, Wilder-Joshua, and the latest news on their own talented fighters.

Our in-depth interview with Abel and Max is preceded by our expert analysts, Travis Hartman, Rizwaan Zahid, and John J. Raspanti, who break down the weekend fights, analyze Kovalev’s competition at 175, discuss whether Bob Arum was correct when he dissed HBO’s matchmaking, and wonder where James Toney buys the “big boy pants” he recommended to Anthony Joshua.
