Did Ryan Garcia show any improvements?

[Malvado]

Garcia's skillset seems to have regressed to his amateur days, I think he has more tools in comparison to when he trained under Reynoso but shown a lot of deficiencies that are exploitable at the top level that Duarte's couldn't take advantage and wasted plenty of opportunities. I think Ryan made the smart choice on becoming more of a well-rounded boxer than a counterpuncher, but it looked so crude and inconsistent.

If I was ODH, I would match him with Rolly to get him more experience with Derrick James and pit him against Arnold Barboza whose well technically refined but lacks the athleticism that Ryan has, to see where he stands at the light welterweight division.

Hit hands werent down as much

Looked worse. Can't wait to see how AJ looks with 4 trainers in 3 fights

[hhh1200]

Still stiff, chin up, pulls straight back like Wilder. Always had hand speed so nothing to fix there.

[YGriffith]

He's not closing his eyes as much when throwing punches, that always bugged me.

[STREET CLEANER]

He was not listening to his corner and went to do his weird ineffective shoulder roll.

He was getting worked down during the fight but his counter left won the fight for him. His right has no real power, it is just as fast as the hook but had no effect on Oscar.

He looks confused about what kind of style fighter he is

Seems just a mix of bad habits thrown in a lot of skills he hasnt mastered but uses

[IceTrayDaGang]

he looks stiff and he doesnt have any head/body movements.. it's like his body is stuck in that upright position lol..
