Comments Thread For: De La Hoya on Tank-Garcia: The Weight Drain Was a Huge Issue!

Oscar you're Ryan's promoter, aren't negotiations and contracts your ballpark?

[champion4ever]

I call bullshit on that one. Ryan Garcia conditioning was just fine. He fought at 140 only twice. He was making 135 comfortably for his entire career.

Besides, Ry is only 24 years old. Cutting a pound or two weight should have been a problem for him. The bottom line is Davis was just the better fighter and he made Ryan Garcia quit.

Wait wait woah. De la hoya said that he was the reason the fight got made doe!!!

[Teetotaler69]

Built in excuses or not Ryan straight up quit. Stank shoulda had the confidence to just fight Ryan without any crybaby demands

[Nightfall]

Cryan Quitcia started off great and was winning the fight early with the weight that he entered the ring in until he start getting hit.

Golden boy promotions lookin desperate right now lol

[PeasantCrusha]

he looked the same fighter as always with the same vulnerabilities...i get the feeling some fighters who arent sure they are going to win like having something in the contract that they can use as an excuse when they lose

But was NOT the same. Having to drain your body has an impact. WHY do you think Tank was taunting him at the face off with "you did not eat breakfast..."


Anyone claiming Tank did not cheapen this fight with a fear-clause must be...


MFer new name be: Tanka Clause

You are right for once. He did and I am tired of hearing him complain about the terms they agreed too. Their guy lost and that should be the end of it. Yet he keeps complaining. A bunch of coulda, woulda, shoulda.

The silly rehydration was obviously a big factor. But the truth is, Ryan fought careless trying to push the action, he gave away all his advantages. And Tank was patient.

Ryan is a better fighter than we saw in that ring. Not sure if Goosen was just telling him to swing for the fences or what. But he should have been patient, worked behind the jab far more and timed Davis as the fight went on. All credit to Tank, he fought very smart.

If Garcia gets a better trainer, he still has time to develop. With his power and natural advantages, he could be a very good fighter.

I've heard that Goosen said that you don't necessarily train Ryan Garcia. You just kind of watch him train himself.

Too many complaints, but they still got paid.
