Comments Thread For: Many to Blame for Ryan Garcia Coming in Overweight - Mainly the Fighter

[Wacked_Out]

They did the weigh in hours before, that's how they already knew he was 3lbs over.

What we watched is just a ceremonial weigh in for the media. So it didn't matter what he did on the scales. He was probably well over 3lbs by the time they did the ceremonial weigh in because they already started rehydrating

Anyway he said it wasn't beer, he was trolling and it was sparkling water and apple juice in the bottle

You're right. I always forget that.

yep quit

A boss is gonna do what a boss wants to do (or not do, in this case).

Looks like most of us got played and duped……size played a big difference in the fight and haneys chin got really exposed the weekend

What in the hell will a trainer do if his boss doesn't feel like training ?
Quit ?

Looks like I was wrong. It happens, It was a really good fight. I wasn't expecting that.

Not many were at all

After tonight and that broken jaw and his feather fists, I think you’re going to be waiting an awfully long time

I hope Haney knocks him out with the same body shot that tank did.

Just shows no one gave a hoot about this guy's training. How can this even happen? You have to tell me why no one in his camp cared enough to monitor his weight. Casual observers noticed the bulkiness. Yet no one in his camp noticed.

3.5 lbs is a huge difference.

Ryan Garcia by knockout. I got it at +800

that’s a weak excuse….a well respected boxing trainer should keep him in check and keep an eye on Garcia being ready for the fight…that’s his job and that’s what he gets paid for and if sees that fighter is not correct mentally and not training for a professional world title fight then he either walks away or contacts the commission….Garcia should have been pulled out as he has clearly not even trained for this fight.
people die in there and Garcia , james and his team promotion team all have a share of the blame

The lame King Ry collapse against Tank wrote him off in my eyes, but even before that his problem wasn’t a mystery.

Boy’s trying to be a permanent teenager. This is a viable path in hallucinatory America if you have enough money, looks and attention. (Just ask any influencer with an ass out to here.) All he’s lacking is a brain.

Haney should put him out of his misery. But who’s going to put us out of our Haney misery? Instead of all this fake hand-wringing about “is this fight good for boxing? Is it safe? Who’s to blame etc” we should be asking how the sport is getting saddled with another dull-ass Dre.

Agree 100% and for the record, this is a really well-written post. I like good writing.
