Comments Thread For: De La Hoya on Garcia Forgoing Tune-Up Ahead of Tank Fight: 'I Strongly Feel It's a Big Mistake'

[MrShakeAndBake]

I will be very suprised if Ryan wins

[Sctrojan]

but he went to the olympics and he beat chris colbert and roger gutierrez...do you really think they would put this fight on PPV if it was some kind of mismatch?

You certainly don't choose "Hector Garcia" to sell ppvs as not a single casual boxing fan knows who tf Hector is. And all of Tanks ppvs have been against heavy underdogs,no different here. Hector is skilled but another undersized,light hitting fighter who hasn't had a single KO since moving up to 130,let alone 135. Not mention his defense was non-existent there against Colbert.He"ll look good in spots but like Leo,Tank will just simply walk through his punches to land his money shots.

Good though,he"ll be in for a rude awakening when that tactic and advantage goes out the window against Ryan.

Let’s be real…what he’s saying is I don’t wanna risk this so early…which we’ve known is why this fight ain’t come off yet…scar isn’t willing to risk it

Its a joke they were having tune ups anyway and delaying the fight till mid next year. That is whats wrong with boxing. Need to wait forever just for 2 prospects to fight.

You speak big truth bro

[BustedKnuckles]

Almost all his fights are mismatches and on PPV.

I got the impression that was implied and he was being sarcastic. But maybe youre right and it was actually meant as a defense.

Oscar's real mistake was not putting him in with better competition before this

[The D3vil]

Oscar's right.

He used to fight 4 & 5 times a year as a champion.

Guys today don't fight but 1 or 2 times a year and then wonder why they end up like Adrien Broner

[MeanestNiceGuy]

Oscar lost control of his son long ago….he just needs to admit he’s been an absent father and being his son’s promoter won’t mend things. Ryan’s doing his own thing nowadays. Lol
