Sam Garcia, 25, is the trainer of Jose Celaya who is taking on undefeated Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on Feb 9 in Leon, Mexico.
"As a chief trainer, this is my first major fight," Garcia said. "But I promised that Jose Celaya will expose Chavez Jr for what he really is. Celaya has too much experience, too much skill, too much everything. We cannot wait to get to Mexico," Garcia said.
Celaya, 31-3, is training in his hometown of Salinas, Calif., to get ready for the showdown.
Chavez Jr said "....I never take a fight lightly. I will train hard and let's see what happens on Feb 9."
