Boxingtalk salutes A-list trainer and ex-champ Robert Garcia for the sportsmanship he showed in Texas on Saturday. Garcia trains Vergil Ortiz, Jr., the WBC interim champion at 154 pounds. Ortiz was defending his title against Erickson Lubin, who has earned his warrior stripes many times over. Against Ortiz, however, it quickly became apparent that Lubin's punch resistance is completely diminished and in round two, Ortiz had Lubin out on his feet when the referee stopped the fight. Lubin was about to topple over with his next step, but Garcia rushed in with a stool and saved Lubin the indignity of a trip to the canvas.  and As pointed out by ex-champ Yordenis Ugas, it was "an incredibly kind gesture from one of the best trainers in the sport. It [Ortiz's punch combination] finished the fight, and instead of celebrating with his boxer, [Garcia] went to help Hammer and make sure he was okay, out of danger. Respect."
