Ryan Garcia has been signed under Golden Boy Promotions since 2016 and even extended the contract for five years in 2019. Oscar De La Hoya, owner of the promotion, has a close relationship with Garcia. De La Hoya has on multiple times shared his admiration for the young boxer. In fact, De La Hoya recently claimed that if Ryan Garcia is able to defeat Gervonta Davis, then he will be able to surpass big names such as him and Canelo Alvarez. However, their most recent interaction caused a huge storm on the internet.
Boxing Kingdom recently shared a post of Oscar De La Hoya meeting with Ryan Garcia. In the video, Oscar De La Hoya looked a little different to say the least. Oscar’s eyes were wide open, and he didn’t blink once throughout the interaction. And as pointed out by some of the fans, it seemed like he didn’t recognize Garcia until the final moments, as he only went in for the hug after that. Boxing Kingdom also hilariously wrote a quote from the movie Scarface-“The eyes chico. They never lie”. Boxing fans had a lot to say about the video as they went off in the comments section. Recently, De La Hoya made some bold statements about Garcia.
