Fresh off his championship win against Devin Haney, boxing sensation Ryan Garcia was a surprise guest at the CU Buffs spring game. The Sanders crew had invited Garcia just a week before the event to add more star power. Garcia was already generating massive hype with a record of 25-1 and 20 knockouts. Deion Sanders capitalized on this fame to make the “Black and Gold” event even bigger. 

After watching the Buffs showcase their skills, Garcia took things further. He first visited the team’s locker room by stopping by Coach Sanders’ office. They talked about Garcia’s recent victory, and the head coach even had a few sparring moves with him. Then, in a fun twist, Garcia surprised Shilo Sanders with a playful sparring session. This time, it was Shilo who got the cheers from fans.

When the friendly fight started, Travis Hunter tried to push Garcia away from his teammate. But the sparring continued. Unlike Coach Prime, who struggled against Garcia earlier, Shilo puts up a good fight. The video soon went viral, and Colorado fans rallied behind Shilo, supporting Coach Prime’s son.

Buffs’ fans believe in Shilo’s boxing skills

The playful sparring match between Ryan Garcia and Shilo Sanders took an unexpected turn online. Buffs fans went against the boxing champion to show their support for Shilo. A fan even funnily recalled a 2015 event when Shilo Sanders assaulted a security guard who stopped him from using his phone during school hours. “Remember Shilo beat up his teacher on camera for tryna touch him. He been had hands.“ Another chimed in with doubts about Shilo’s skills, saying, “Shiloh look like he know a couple of things lol.”

However, the Colorado community quickly highlighted Shilo’s training background. “Shilo was trained by Floyd Mayweather in his teens. Shilo got hands,“ one fan wrote. Another echoed the sentiment: “Prime always said shilo was the fighter out of his boys.“ Amidst the praise for Shilo, one fan noticed Travis Hunter’s support as he wrote, “Lmao Travis had his back.“ It looks like the Buffs have built up their spirit high after the extravagant spring game. Now, all they have to do is to reciprocate this energy onto the field.
