A former IBF super featherweight (130 pounds) champion who compiled a record of 35-3 with 25 knockouts, trainer, Robert Garcia, will be at work yet again on Feb. 19 at the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas.

That's when he'll be in the corner of WBA interim super flyweight (115 pounds) titlist Nonito Donaire (25-1, 17 KOs) for an HBO-televised, Top Rank Promotions clash with WBO and WBC bantamweight (118 pounds) king Fernando Montiel (44-2-2, 34 KOs).

Garcia also has worked the corner of ex-welterweight (147 pounds) king Antonio Margarito, rising lightweight (135 pounds) star Brandon Rios, former featherweight (126 pounds) champ Steven Luevano, his brother, unbeaten featherweight contender Miguel "Mikey" Garcia, former light flyweight (108 pounds) belt-holder Brian Viloria, and former female fighter Mia St. John.

Although Garcia has worked with St. John, however, he does not agree with women's boxing. Check out his opinions on the subject in this video.
