Before this deal, ‘The Flash’ clinched a dominating victory over the Ghanaian pugilist, Emmanuel Tagoe, and seems confident of thrashing Fortuna in front of 20,000 expectant fans. Initially, Garcia was supposed to meet Fortuna last year. Unfortunately, he pulled out of the fight due to mental health issues. This cost him WBC interim lightweight title.
This is high time for this bout to reach fruition. Ahead of this bout, a video clip of Ryan Garcia surfaced on the internet and caught the attention of boxing fans.

Another fan claimed that Garcia lies most of the time. He calls out other pugilists and then pulls himself back.
He has one decent name and that campbell . He ducked Devin , tank , fortuna (the first time) , Diaz and lied about fighting pac-man . He waits until it’s a fighters biggest moment and “call them out” just to back out later . He talks and doesn’t back it up … sorry

Another fan questioned Garcia’s strength. According to him, Garcia did not appear to be fast.
Why is he not looking sharp to me. A bit sluggish

Another fan brands Garcia’s technique as ‘awkward’.
Probably tired. Bigger worry is how awkward his technique is – what is that gimpy overhand right he keeps throwing?

Moreover, this fan felt Garcia’s right hand was not powerful enough.
The social media darling who has done almost nothing to justify the hype. Beat a real opponent in the ring, not a heavy bag. This kid gives off serious Kardashian vibes.

Another fan made a very hilarious remark. He wrote, “He lucky the bag can’t swing back or he would be in trouble.”

He’s cocking his elbow out too much on that overhand right. Leaves himself wayyy too vulnerable. He’s already proven to not have the best chin. He needs to shore up his defense to help minimize the likelihood that suspect chin gets taken advantage of.

Another fan highlighted the genuine mistake that Garcia was repeating while throwing a cross on the bag. Moreover, he recalled Garcia’s glassy chin which always remains on the target of his opponents.
Not even a hater take, straight facts. If he wasn’t a pretty boy with a million plus followers, he’d be completely irrelevant in this sport.

Another fan believes that Garcia is such a big name just because of his popularity on social media platforms.
There were a few fans who reacted to Garcia’s workout with the bag.
