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

[SUBZER0ED]

The bigger guy calls out the little guy, because he knows their size difference is in his favor. The little guy says, "Whoa, I'll fight you, but you can't come in all huge, we need to equalize your size advantage." The bigger guy agrees to the terms. The little guy wins the fight, not just because of the stipulation of size, but more because he simply proves himself to be the better boxer. And what happens? The bigger guy and his people cry "No fair, you negated our size advantage and won on skill. How dare you!?"

Darn right Oscar.

Sure Davis can win when they are required to weigh roughly the same on the day of the fight, but lets see him take on Garcia who significantly outweighs him in the ring. That would be more of a fair fight

This is called sarcasm folks lol

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

An inconvenient truth.

Making bu!!shyte excuses is sadly a promoters job too.

I can't wait to see Ryan Garcia fight a Top 10 Fighter @ 140, and I'm not talking about no MF Rolly Romero either! Let him be "comfortable at his weight," and fight Akhmedov, Ergashev, Russell, Sims, Ponce, Hitchins, Sandor Martin, Ramirez, Taylor, Prograis, or Matias! I wouldn't even mind seeing him fight Jose Pedraza! This is going to be fun!

Even if Ryan was allowed to weigh whatever he wanted, he's much too careless for someone like Tank. He also refused to listen to his trainer.

If anything, Ryan's excuse is he doesn't truly have the heart for war.

Right here on the front page of Oscar's twitter he said "the weight was never, ever an issue'! "Ryan Garcia made it with no problem", It's right at the very top of his page still! https://twitter.com/OscarDeLaHoya

Oscar in his own twitter shared a video after the weigh-in where he said Ryan made weight no problem.

Before the fight, nobody was going to say nuthin to discourage people from wasting their money. That's how that works.

Not true - people already bought tickets and hotels and other amenities and the PPV purchases are not refundable and everyone would still watch it hoping for Garcia to win or Davis to win. Oscar the liar just contradicted himself and should have shut up about weight after the fight then. He should have just stuck to his story and now just made an ass out of himself.
