New WBC  interim champion Ryan Garcia showed a new side of his game in his victory over Luke Campbell. The undefeated fighter extended his record to 22 victories with yet another knockout. The fight promised to be a cracker, and it delivered.

However, the main talking point of the fight will be the fact that for the first time in his career, a fighter dropped Ryan Garcia. Many have accused the fighter of being a fake fighter or Instagram fighter. Critics have questioned his ability to fight when faced with adversity.

However, he put all of that to bed with the way he reacted to the knockdown. After the fight, Garcia could afford to laugh it off. In the post-fight interview, he said, “Even when he dropped me, I got up, it was a good shot, I was cold… And he caught me there. I was like, “Yo! I got dropped, this is crazy.”

At the time, it appeared Garcia had a lapse in concentration. However, he explained how it happened. He said, “I think I got a little too excited in the moment. I knew I was in control, but I wanted just to dog him. And like, I felt I could have cracked him, but he cracked me.”
