Garcia stands to straight up,hands low and chin high, He has no fluid rhythm in his hips or upperbody and seems to lack foot work. He has great hand speed and seems pretty accurate, but he has no defense, no great reflexes and his chin obviously is not that great.
I hope this is corrected asap and he doesnt keep getting away with these flaws
May be a pretty accurate assessment. He wants ALL the smoke so it shouldn’t take long to find out. My main concern is Oscar needs Garcia now that Canelo is gone. He’s not blind and tonight has to make him nervous.
I thought it was odd he kept giving Campbell the advantageous foot position for a south paw and was often inside of Luke's lead foot. At that point he would eat a jab or left hand straight down the middle and was getting head snapped back with almost alarming regularity.
I had $125 on a Garcia KO at even money though so I didn't give up hope and he didn't disappoint me in that regard lol.
Khan was brutally KO’ed by Breidis Prescott. But going into the Prescott fight, Khan had already been knocked down by 3 different fighters, all journeymen. Rachid Drizlane, Willie Limond and Michael Gomez.
Khan’s chin is in a completely different level. It’s even bad at the lower level of boxing.
That was Garcia’s first KD and it was done by a guy with 16 KO’s in 20 wins, Olympic Gold medalist, top 5 at the weight class, and far better than Prescott, Gomez, Drizlane or Limond.
It isnt just the fact he got dropped, it is the way he fell and the shot he got hit with..The punch was a shot you should not get hit with and then the way he reacted to the punch was horrible. He fell like a sack of shat....And he also lunges in when he throws his shots..I hope they fix these issues because id like to see how much he can grow
For a 22 year old he is a skilled boxer
Pulling straight back and horrible foot placement against a southpaw is what makes me question how successful he would be against the likes of Tank and Lomachenko. Sure they are smaller fighters than he is but I don't think Ryan beats either guy at this point. He has alot to work on but I think he has the right trainer. That left hook to the body he ended the night with was very similar to Canelo's. That's a beautiful weapon to posses.
Khan is feather fisted and would have lost by KO in that 2nd round. Ryan is still developing. Even Eddie Reynoso after the fight said he knows Ryan wants to fight the whole world, but he needs to wait, stay grounded, and develop little by little.

He didn't see it coming, which is a problem in and of itself. Khan had a similar problem tbh
Being chinny doesnt hurt em. Put it like this garcia 22 not even in prime hell grow into own probably at 140 n be legit there n 147. I see what u mean on khan compare yet the example earlier is for rebutal. Also smart $ would be let the tank fight marinate at 140 or so. Go fight haney 135 n save other 2 haney fights for 147 haney lacks power. Fight tank at 140. At his size 135 is bout to become impossible yet double wammy his style n size doesnt hold well above 135. Hes not prime pac or close with the blazing speed n combo attacks from all angles to offset size disadvantage. So smart promotion let garcia grow in own fight davis 140. Haney n lopez will ne there through 147. Save lopez for highest money at 147. So loma n 1st haney fight 135 tank 140 n haney 2/3 n n a 2 fight lopez at 147
He needs to develop more. To do that properly takes time.
But he's in a rush to be in big fights, he got mad at Oscar last year for moving him too slowly. So if he wants Tank then let's get it.
Ryan showed some of the same flaws but all credit is due for him pulling out a tough one vs Campbell.
I think after seeing this fight that he will struggle against a guy whom he can't impose his size on. Yes, i know they're the same size but what would Ryan do with that poor defense against a guy who is an explosive puncher?
Campbell isn't so "pillow fisted " as everyone makes out. Hes still a good puncher. He can crack as you guys saw but doesn't posses the same explosive power as Lopez/Tank.
This fight showed me he improved but still has flaws. His chin got tested and he survived.

yeah , the reaction right before the punch ,there was a quick feint to the body were the same , ref (canelo's khan ko)
I see it but he doesn't just fold up and get KO'd lol. He reacted pretty good tonight.
If you remember, Khan use to never fold..He would get hurt and fight and that is when his poor defense and horrible stance was really exposed....
yup , same here ....but i think it's already confirmed his chin is much better than khan's

Hard to argue most of that.....the kid needs work before stepping to tank.....he just pulls straight back and does not have his guard up.....
