Fair play for Garcia calling out Tank & Haney.
I told you people - Ryan Garcia is legit.

he's legit but vulnerable as well which makes for an exciting fighter
truthfully tho, that dropping his hand with his chin up in the air like that needs to ****ing goComment

He'll always be a live dog with his power but with the way he fights upright and doesn't move his head (the reason he got caught), I think it'll catch up to him if he doesn't change it, especially vs someone with good power/technical like a Stevenson or Haney. Him vs Tank would be 50/50 IMO.Comment

I agree - and the vulnerability is easy to fix. Very easy to fix. He basically is now where Victor Ortiz was when he fought Maidana - he's relied on offense so long he never tightened defense, but we also know that he has a decent chin to able to take shots.
Now, he just has to actually work on defense more than he has been without losing his offensive style.
Stevenson? The guy who went the full 12 against a nobody coming off a 200+ day layoff? The guy who took punches to drop a civilian in the street, flush?He'll always be a live dog with his power but with the way he fights upright and doesn't move his head (the reason he got caught), I think it'll catch up to him if he doesn't change it, especially vs someone with good power/technical like a Stevenson or Haney.

I don't think Ryan has to worry about Shakur's power.
Haney - yes. Tank - yes. Teo - yes.
I actually think Tank is a better tactician BUT he tends to be lazy in the ring, which if Ryan exploits that in the early rounds - just come out on fire and blitz him - he could pull a massive upset.Comment

Na. He was knocked down. He also only won 6 of 7 rounds. Campbell is an Olympic Gold medalist who has never been stopped before but if Garcia wanted to show he was legit, a 7 round KO wasn’t enough. He should have won by 1st round KO. Not impressed at all. I could beat Campbell better than that.Comment

I'm laughing at the bold, bro. Nice trolling.Na. He was knocked down. He also only won 6 of 7 rounds.

Who is the hell said anything about A Sides and B sides, I swear some of yall are slow.He's the A-Side vs. Haney. Easy.
Favorite to win? He'd be a favorite over Shakur who doesn't seem to step it up - remember that one nobody he went the full distance with that was fresh off an extended layoff?
He'd be a long underdog against Teo, but if that fight gets booked, I'd drop at least $500 on him to beat Teo by knockout.
And Shakur would be the LAST PERSON he would ever beat out of these names. Would not win one round.Comment

Stevenson isn't a one punch KO threat but he definitely has enough power to wobble Garcia off a counter or flush shot, especially considering Garcia's lack of head movement. Plus its even more of a factor when you consider his superior technique/boxing ability.Stevenson? The guy who went the full 12 against a nobody coming off a 200+ day layoff? The guy who took punches to drop a civilian in the street, flush?

He has insane speed and power. It might be slightly premature but I don’t think he’s super durable. Decent chin but not great. Combine that with a leaky defence, lack of head movement and flat feet and I expect him to have many shaky moments.
He’s a great talent though and great to watch. Nice kid tooComment

Teo gasses out? When did this happen?I think Tank Davis is a tough out, but if Garcia goes after him immediately, it could be Jacobs/Quillin. Tank takes a while to warm up and would likely expect Garcia to be tentative at first.
I think Teo gets caught with a check hook after trying to feint in, in the later rounds, say 9 or 10, because he tends to gas out by then.Comment
