Comments Thread For: Counseling From Trainer Derrick James a Key to Ryan Garcia's Success

[Teetotaler69]

Cryan woulda won no matter the coach. James was simply there. That's it

[thack]

James is knowledgeable enough to know what works and what makes a certain fighter tick , this was apparent with Garcia’s compliments

[IRONCHINHAGLER]

I couldn't have imagined Ryan beating Haney let alone the whooping, showboating and KDs.

Is Haney a overhyped player? Afterall he has wins again Loma and Regis. Does this make Tank the superboss, the way he handled Garcia

Davis “handled” Garcia with catch weight AND rehydration clause. Needed those advantages before fight even started.

and guess what?


no i cant, tell me

its not long ago that derrick was hopeless as his guys were losing

boxing is a roundabout, fighters and trainers all on board

[Hands of Stone]

Maybe James was instrumental in other stuff with Ryan but strategy is definitely not one of them. If there was a game plan, I couldn't tell 'cos Ryan pretty much ad lib everything he did in that fight and did so on his own volition. In fairness to James, they just started working together so maybe that takes times but that beating was all the fighter's doing.

[TonyRespectful]

James definitely improved Ryan. He's got a long way to go but definitely better.

This was a WWE event disguised as a Boxing match!!!

It feels like they are all trying to retroactively make this crazy & chaotic sh^t storm involving & around Ryan all make sense cuz Ryan didn't sh^t the bed Saturday lmfao. It feels like they are reaching to me.

Obviously respect to Ryan on winning, but no one is talking about aliens & pedo sh^t to promote a fight. Thats fooking weird. Its not suddenly not weird because he won. Was that the plan? Or was that just Ryan being a lil off? Imma go with the latter.

Ryan came in 3lbs over. Thats a huge fooking issue & why he won vs a belt holder on Saturday night but didnt have a belt Sunday morning.

Ryan has had multiple mental health situations that this current situation felt like & why ppl thought he'd sh^t the bed & some even said before the fight thr the fight shouldn't happen cuz they see Ryan's parents as using him for money.

Ryan & Oscar weren't even talking to each other a few mos ago. Now everything is fine? Idk man lol.

Derrick looked more interested in what was playing on his headphones most of his time in the lockerroom Saturday & we caught Derrick looking like an accessory in the lead up to this fight more than some Eddie Futch trainer getting his man in order.

There is still smoke coming out of Ryan's house. It didn't stop cuz he won last night & I'll be super surprised if Ryan doesn't have a sh^t the bed situation within the next 12mos or 2-3 fights assuming he goes inactive again & doesn't fight much within the next 12mos.

Yeah if any fighter comes in 3lb over the limit then their chance of winning increases, and dramatically increases if they’re the naturally bigger fighter.

Most are only overlooking the size/weight/cutting because Garcia had lost his mind and it looks like he “overcame the odds”. He’s gonna lose bad against the other guys at 147 if he manages to make it to the ring.

I think most people are overlooking the weight thing because Haney has had big weight advantages in previous fights so people think "what goes around comes around". Haney and Garcia seem to be a similar size and we don't know who actually weighed more in the ring. A rematch could obviously settle things though.
