    Surprised, didn't know this, isn't James going to busy shuffling all his stable, either way he's on a great up rise as a trainer now good for him.

    No hopers AJ & Garcia

    Both should stick to instagram modelling.

    Unless Derrick James is the wizard of Oz, he won't do. Boy needs a heart.

    good choice. james knows his ****, and being around spence should help. spence always comes in on point and in top shape, so the work ethic might rub off. now just make a soldier out this boy.

    Good choice but if he don’t commit
    He is just blowing money.
    Plenty to $pare.

    He can only help him. I don't think Derrick would have entertained the Tank fight though Ryan wasn't ready for Tank. Derrick had a great trainer & mentor himself The late great Curtis Cokes the man that almost got Ike Ibeabuchi to the title shot

    Good for him, going from trainer to trainer is always a smart move.

    You can play basketball, you can play football, you can even play with Barbie’s, but you DON’T play boxing. Ryan has to truly commit if he wants to hang at the top level.

    Surprised he hasn’t wound up with Freddie Roach yet, he’s got that good left hook.

    I doubt it. He was around Canelo and that didn’t help.

    being around canelo gets you accustomed to the star treatment. being around spence in a barn, mining sweat, isnt near as glamorous.

    You lads have fallen so far in two months that you will willingly bring up AJ any chance you have.

    Good to see he’s more relevant in your heads than that big dosser. What’s his name? Scared of a little middleweight, or something. Fighting 127 year old Ortiz?

    Great move for Ryan. James is a no nonsense kinda of guy who he will definitely improve with.

    This is like when everyone was going over to virgil hunter. A trainer can only do so much.

    What an opportunity for Ryan.....to make more social media content!
    "I'm training with AJ and youl never believe what happens"
    "Training like a heavyweight for a day"
    "I challenged my coach to an eating contest"
