Comments Thread For: Yordenis Ugas Praises Ryan Garcia: "Shame Is Taking Care Of A Perfect Record Without Risking It"

[Boxviewer]

So many fans scream for fighters to make big fights. Call them cowards, say they do not care when they do not. Then many of these same "fans" throw around the terms exposed, overrated, and scrub when they do and have the gall to lose.

I respect people who fight. It is what this sport needs. Garcia is by no means done. He just now knows that he has work to do.

Well said, I agree with you .

I have said many times that boxing fans are part of the problem in boxing. MMA fans appreciate fighters win or lose but in boxing you mainly hear discouraging words when a fighter lost. It's one thing pointing to observed shortcomings and it's something else saying that he's exposed, finished and must retire. Most boxing fans seem confused on what they really expect from fighters.

It was rough for 6 rounds. Ryan stuck threw it until he took a shot that destroyed his body.

Is Ryan a great boxer? I think we can all agree he isn't, but to act like protecting your health is a cowardly thing to do is such a weak insecure mentality.
It's always the fake "tough" guys that talk about quitting when they can't even take a punch from a crackhead.

I dont like that either. I remember when Margarito and Cotto had their face off, Margarito was claiming he would rather die in the ring than lose by stoppage. Cotto called him ****** and pointed out that he had a wife and kids to think about. That's the way I look at it.

Ryan gained far more then Tank did in the outcome of this fight..

Ryan has changed boxing and is the new face, the numbers don’t lie.

Tank would have been better off simply facing Ryan without the rehydration nonsense

Quit that nonsense. You can praise RG for stepping up which in itself supposed to be a normal thing in any sport bar boxing these days. Tank deserves the bigger praise for a job well done. Both fighters were subjected to the same stipulations. What won the fight was the skill gap between both fighters. Boxing is a sport where weight is used to create fairness. Weight bullying is cheating.

Besides, RG still outweighed Tank and has a longer reach. Before the bout he said he has never been so strong in his life and his trainer confirmed that the rehydration clause wasn't an issue. So, all these nonsensical excuses only diminish the sportsmanship RG showed direct after the bout. Excuses are for sore losers. You and your ilk have to understand that.

Stfu man cmon he quit he ain’t gain anything. He lost so many fans lol. Not to mention everyone who believed in him and bet on him. He just quit. He was in the fight he just had to bite down but he ain’t have it in him. He’s the face of shame that’s about it lol

Reality hurts huh..

Rehydration nonsense tainted the fight.. it is what it is.. can’t put everything in your favor and then expect acclaim in the end.. you leave yourself susceptible to major criticism.. Ryan made the fights happen.. salute to him as the new face of boxing.. numbers don’t lie, get over it.

I follow Ugas on twitter and have to say, he is one of the most sincere and genuine fighters out there. Always spreading love and positive energy, never has anything negative about anyone.

Real G in and out of the ring

Totally seems like a genuine guy. Very likable. Deserves the level of success he’s truly earned.

Not sure what there is to risk. Anybody alive would’ve taken this fight if they were in Ryan’s shoes. He’s an unestablished boxer with 0 meaningful wins, no world titles and based in his talk, he got an opportunity to make millions against a top p4p fighter when he’d done nothing to deserve it. Then he quit in the ring. 0 reason to praise him. He scammed the public and made out like a bandit doing so.

Fair point but the level of punishment Cotto took from loaded wraps vs Margarito over 11 rounds isn’t even close to what Ryan experienced over 7 vs tank. Cotto looked like he physically couldn’t continue. Ryan coincidentally was able to stand up as soon as the ref said 10.

And boxers saying this should mean a lot more to Ry than fans saying the opposite.

If that’s the case, how should Ry interpret Chavez sr saying he’ll never watch him fight again because he clearly quit?

[YGriffith]

If that’s the case, how should Ry interpret Chavez sr saying he’ll never watch him fight again because he clearly quit?

Did chavez ever explain why he quit on his stool against that bum Grover Wiley? Or why he kept noding no against Oscar dela hoya in his corner? Someone should remind him about those two.
