Published 01/10/2022, 10:00 AM EST

Lightweight superstar Ryan Garcia is a surging knockout artist in his division and possesses blistering speed, which has fed most of his opponents to the canvas. Unfortunately, he couldn’t live up to that expectation when the young boxer tried to break a previously set record on a punching machine. Despite several attempts, Ryan Garcia failed to reach the top score and had to depart without accomplishing his goal.

Having fought against Luke Campbell in January 2021, it has been over a year since we have seen him in action. Meanwhile, he also suffered an injury in his right arm a few months back. While he is overcoming all of it, the recent clip of his failed attempts at a punching machine can cause his fans to worry.

The highest score was set at 9046. Ryan Garcia took four attempts at the machine but scored 8876, 8624, 8963, and 8989, respectively. Despite all the efforts, ‘KingRy’ was shocked to see that he couldn’t make it to the top.

Ryan Garcia is working to step through the ropes eagerly and is aiming shots at Isaac Cruz aka ‘Pitbull’ for an in-ring scrap. Garcia’s promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, also seems adamant about making the fight happen. However, Isaac Cruz, who recently lost to Gervonta Davis, hasn’t confirmed his will to lock horns against Garcia. Hence, the search is still on and Garcia appears far from getting a title shot at this point.

2021 was a crucial year for the lightweight division. While Garcia remained out of all the action, a lot has happened since then. George Kambosos Jr. has toppled Teofimo Lopez to become the new unified lightweight world champion. Besides, Gervonta Davis and Devin Haney have also defended their 135 lbs straps successfully. Hence, Garcia shall have to catch up with his contemporaries.

He is nowhere near the current title ride and cannot expect to get a crack at it soon. Henceforth, ‘KingRy’ shall look to remain active by accepting non-title bouts, before he finally moves ahead to battle for the gold.
