Garcia explained the reason for his surreal statement. He said, “I should give them facts. I said it’s a 50-50 chance. You stay relevant for much longer in this current period of time and just because this fight’s hot right now doesn’t mean that it will be hot later.”

Moreover, Garcia gave a piece of advice to Cruz, stating his value in upcoming years if he doesn’t pick up his fights wisely. Garcia said, “Obviously, you’re gonna be used as a pawn for Gervonta to lose and that’s it. You’re done. Nobody cares about you. That’s it.”

Garcia went honestly about his opinion of why he feels that he may ignore the fight against Cruz in the future.
