Comments Thread For: Ryan Garcia Goes The Distance, Boxes Past Jayson Velez

I didn’t watch but if he has the tools then he needs a real trainer. Too many guys stay loyal and end up missing out. Imagine how much better canelo would be if he had a real trainer or Danny Garcia to name a few

He's got true talent. It's clear. Just needs some refining.

Velez a featherweight ... went up to 130 to fight garcia ... garcia didn’t impressed nobody ... keep fighting cab drivers .... verdejo will knock his ass out

WTF you talking about Velez has been fighting at 130 for years his last what 5-6 fights been at 130 OR higher. Velez is a cab driver now? Verdejo just got knocked out his career is over. LMAO

Garci has natural talent,skill,power, speed and of course the looks as long as he stays discipline he’s gonna go far.

Did this kid seriously call out Tank a few days ago lol. Tank is levels above and would demolish this kid in less than 7 rds.

He’s been calling out tank for almost a year. Suddenly when he’s in tv he forgets to say his name lol. He would get sparked out

Don't see what the big deal is to be honest, but of course he's still young. Prospect of the year seems a little too much for me based on what I saw. Not a fun fight to watch either due to this kid's constant clinching. Personally, I'm more impressed with Haney and they're both the same age.

True....he didn't look good...

He didn’t look good yet he arguably won every rd against a guy the haters were saying is too much too soon for him.

So make up your minds he won every rd against a guy you thought he would lose to yet he didn’t look good????

Fuucking haters are too much.

I think its close. This kid seems to have more power than Haney imo. But Haney is much more fluid.

This kid talks too much for someone who hasn't accomplished anything yet. He didn't do anything impressive tonight. He just beat a guy whom he was supposed to beat.

Those boos were raining down with no mercy.

I'm only 19 doe... Boooooooo

Ryan swore he'd crush Velez. He got on the news bragging about his power, filled a stadium and let everybody down. Not a bad win, but not what he promised.

Great experience for the kid Ryan Garcia. Golden Boy is doing a better job matching up there prospects with real experienced fighters.

Ryan has tons of natural ability. But he's got to take a step back and realize that again this sport is a marathon not a sprint. Forget the title holders of this division Ryan isn't yet ready for the real title contenders of this division i.e. Vargas, Corrales, Pedraza, etc.....

And at 19 years old there is absolutely wrong with that. I think guys like Charles Huerta or Carlos Morales would be good fights next for Ryan.

Few things he needs to work on quick fast and in a hurry is he holds entirely too much, when he hurt Velez he allowed him too smoother and hold him real easy. Also he's got to learn that not every punch has to be a knockout punch.

One last thing he might want to think about getting an established championship caliber trainer in his corner already Freddie Roach, Joel Diaz, or Robert Garcia would help this kid go to another level.

It's not about the win. We knew he'd beat that guy. But he's gotta clean up some things. He needs a real trainer. He's too talented and athletic to not be moving better. At 19, he could be special with the right team. He's got some things you can build with.

Nooooo actually haters were saying Velez was too much for him and would beat him.
