I didn't see that coming. Stub Hub is one of my favorite venues, but damn they can be cold at times. In all candor, when you pander to casuals like Garcia, that element is to be expected.
I thought he did okay, but learned what everyone knows, and that is the chins get stronger as you step up a level. He found out he doesn't possess freakish power, but the kid is a sniper and beat Velez' ass bell-to-bell. Tank bodies him though.
Lester do you remember our brief discussion on Garcia? I’m not a GGG fan but I told you my concerns about Garcia. In any case he still won so there is nothing to really bash at this time. A win is a win in my eyes but you will see the minute he steps his competition up. In all of my days watching boxing I have never seen a kid spar and look so afraid to engage , unless he was working on defence. All will be revealed soon. I don’t rate him ,now after his last performance a few more fans don’t either . However they are not privileged to see the sparring sessions I have witnessed( only joking some of them are on youtube 😂😂) I have nothing against him other than his mouth. It was the same with Broner. I loved him but the mouth has to back up the performances in the ring and it doesn’t so I don’t **** with him now. Show me the goods in the ring and I’m a fan instantly. Instagram followers will not do it for me
Looks like everything was revealed last night. Outside of speed and power, he doesnt have much.
the kids beaten noone and by all accounts he looked like dog**** last night. until he beats someone with a pulse i dont give a **** about him. 'he young doe' so what, so are a lot of fighters, doesnt mean they improve how you expect them to.
Looked like dog shyt? He won every round, busted his guy up, wobbled him at least a half dozen times, doubled his opponent up in punches, velez took more punishment then any fight in his career. Winning by wipe out in a step up against your best opponent to date is now a bad thing? He is 19 and Velez has never been stopped by anyone and only losses to top fighters and nobody beat the shyt out him like Ryan just did. We got a lot of idiots up in here. He LMAO
I think he has a bit of a chance against Davis, but he might be too young and inexperienced for that one.
Lomachenko is way ahead of him it'd be stupid for him to fight him, good for Lomachenko considering Ryan Garcia could easily become the next big face of boxing for Mexico he has all the things to do it.
No were near ready for Tank and if hes not ready for Tank then no point event mentioning Lomas name.
Like Lomas strapper said ok for 2 rounds then ran and grabbing in the 3.
Not up to Lomas standard thats why he got taken of out of the 3rd
He is good but not half as good as he says he is. He would get killed by Davis or Loma. He is only 19 so he could improve but he isn't ready for guys like that. He promised a 4th round KO and couldn't come close to delivering so he got booed. He overdoes the bragging and not all fans like that.
I understand people being pissed that he didnt score the knock out but he won every round besides the first.
If this guy can get some good training hes gonna be a world beater.
This, and he also want to fight levels up from this at only 19 years of age!
He has some balls on him that's one thing for sure.
Yes my bro.
19 and blitzing Alvredo in 9/10 rounds.
Pretty decent step up im my opinion.
the kids beaten noone and by all accounts he looked like dog**** last night. until he beats someone with a pulse i dont give a **** about him. 'he young doe' so what, so are a lot of fighters, doesnt mean they improve how you expect them to.
Harsh but true. They praise him as this great prospect which he may well be but as soon as he has not lived up to the billing his fans jump to his defence talking about he is only 19. Which I respect and understand but at that age you should be old enough to have respect for Champions that are more established but then again he is ambitious I hear you fans say and he is supposed to believe in himself.... fine but fans that pay to watch him are then entitled to air their feelings and their feeling was to boo
boxing isn't supposed to be like Church. you think football fans or MMA fans care if characters sell? it's combat sports... Ali, Tyson, Toney, RJJ, Floyd, Wilder, Fury, etc...
let these guys be. if they lose they lose. you can't expect boxing to be like a timed based sport to the finish line where its just a spectator watching an athlete without a known character.
actually, I'm a Hair-Nelo 3.0 fan... he talks less shıt than Lil'G.. so I hear ya!
No I get all that . I actually like it. I think it’s just a case of our personalities clashing. I don’t wish him harm It was just the Lomachenko interview.
Listen most boxers have egos so him being asked about Loma,even if it didn’t go well just play down the sparring session. It’s a cardinal sin anyway to discuss it .However,no he wants to tell the world the way to beat Loma. Whilst when watching his sparring exactly what Lomachenko ‘s coach said Garcia does I witnessed in 2 sparring incidents. It is what it is he is 19 so it’s all good
American crowds are terrible with the booing. It's one thing to boo an away fighter or a self-styled villain during the ringwalk - that's just a bit of panto imo - but booing during the fight or afterwards is just disrespectful unless one guy is seriously coasting
he's 19 years old. 19.
I want blood for those blasphemous words, that’s the least I deserve. Ok if i can’t get that at least knock Joe bloggs to the canvas.
I hope Garcia becomes the face of boxing and retires 60-0.
F*ck the haters lol. The kid has plenty of time to improve.
i dn't think these guys in the thread appreciate what it means for a kid to be on TV at 19 years old.
