Those who say Ryan Garcia "quit"

[Combat Talk Radio]

ive just checked social media, its devastated, utterly inconsolable, they thought they had a new breed of tough tiktokers ready to take over, now its back to the drawing board

Yeah, because as I said elsewhere, the vast majority of people out there fell for the 'eye test' of this guy.

But what an eye test, they wanted the next oscar but they got the karate kid gone wrong

[IceTrayDaGang]

nah that wasn't even a hard body shot.. he didnt even spit out his mouth piece.

Which just shows what would have happened if he had gotten in there with Pacquiao.

mettle.

We can debate the physiology of this body shot all day, but it's perhaps more important to access the psychology of Garcia during the post-bout interview:


"Did you think you could continue?"

"Yeeeeeeeahhhhhhhh... but...."

"What was going on internally, were you having trouble breathing?"

"I'm not gonna say nuthin', but yeah, yeah, I couldn't breathe."


Analyse the candescence of his voice, everything. I'd never personally get in a boxing ring, and I don't particularly knock the kid for it - he's still a dish in my eyes - but the tone, phrasing, pausing... it suggests a kid who quit.

Interesting comparing this fight Hopkins-DLH. Oscar put effort into his acting job as he oversold the bodyshot, whereas Garcia went for more of a deadpan 'hurry up and count to ten so I can get up' approach.

Yeah, we needed him shouting out "I can't breathe!" while breathing.

Oscar got an oscar that night.

The same shot Ryan Garcia gave to Luke Campbell who wasn't unable to continue either, came back towards him from "Tank" Davis.

He didn't want to quit of course, but he had no choice and couldn't continue. I bet he would've wanted too if he could, but his body gave up and shut down on him.

It’s a weird one. I feel like if he just got his legs underneath him he would have been able to stand up and continue. He was ok walking around like 2 seconds after he was counted out.

if I’m honest I lean towards your view, it was a choice. He doesn’t have in him what Gatti did. Gatti’s body shut down when Ward landed that perfect left to the body but he still forced himself to get up. Garcia wasn’t in anywhere near as bad a state imo

[Al Faz]

He was bleeding from the nose, getting taken apart, and scared as hell. He DID NOT WANT ANY MORE SMOKE

for those who say cryin ryan quit i disagree, he didnt quit, he just logged out

[mxtali]

Nah he chose to stay down. Compare him to his peers…

Does Gatti stay down from that body shot?

Does Castillo?

Does Corrales?

Garcia didn’t want to go out on his shield last night. That’s fine but let’s call it for it what it was.

Maidana vs Khan.
