As per Ryan Garcia, he is now working with a jab, he admitted that he hasn't used it in the past. But if he can developed this one, like his mentor and manager, Oscar Dela Hoya, it will be a different version of Garcia.
Just imagine this, he is tall and have the length advantage and with that jab, no one can get inside of him so that will be a very dangerous and difficult fighter to beat. So let's see if he is going to take advantage of his jab in this fight.
Yes, I also read about that earlier, here it is:
“The jab is definitely improving. In some of the past fights, I didn’t really use it,” said Garcia. “I’ll be looking forward to using my jab a little bit better in this fight. We all know that the jab is the key in the sport. It sets up a lot of shots. So I’ve been working on that. I have the talent to use pretty much any type of shot, right? If I could really master the jab, it can take me to another level.”

I mean, he's already a good and fast boxer but he lacks some other technique so that his punches can be more effective. His punches can only be lethal if he landed it perfectly.
