  • Props for you for wanting to step in and fight this Prima Donna who calls himself “Kingry” You are more of a Mexican warrior who is not afraid of anyone, than this Ryan Garcia who I will call Reanna Garcia.

  • Garcia could of fought this guy or petrov but he bottled it. So, us aficianafos know he is only interested in preserving his undefeated record for pay days with little risk.

  • There are many issues with at least 4 sides pulling in opposite directions and they are on the brink of a breaking point.Ryan Garcia (more or less a good looking kid) saw his popularity skyrocket based on spectacular wins against suspicious opposition. He couldn’t realize that he was on training wheels being spoon fed. His ego went parallel to his popularity, making him to believe he could make a superstar demands to his promoter, and from here is where things have gone from bad to worse. Duno was offered to replace Sparrow, but seems that Garcia and his team asked for more money, obviously taking advantage of the urgency, arguing Duno was a harder opponent and Ryan wasn’t prepared for him. Oscar and his team got frustrated, and in a bizarre unprofessional action they attacked Garcia on social media hinting, he was afraid of Duno.
    My thoughts in this:Ryan better fights Duno, as his first main event, get rid of Oscar and find a less corrupt promoter. I think Duno could help Ryan to realize who in fact he is as a professional boxer, why he is falling behind the real prospects almost the same age like Lopez and Haney.

  • Ryan Garcia is no Mando Ramos. The youngster better wake up and smell the roses. If he fought anyone the caliber of Tank Davis he would not just be exposed, he’d be in danger of getting badly hurt I believe.

  • I’m extremely disappointed in this kid. He keeps talking about standing his ground and getting respect.. Is he talented, yes. But that only takes you so far… I understand why he didn’t wanna take the fight. He trained hard to fight the style of Avery. that is what he was prepared for. Him getting offered another fighter definitely gave him doubts that he could win. It wasn’t about standing his ground, it was about being confident he was gonna win. He only wants to take a test that he knows the answers to. If he truly wanted to get the respect he is looking for, he should have taken that fight with Duno, beat him convincingly, and then say, “you gave me a replacement and a good one, and I beat him. Now its time for you guys to step up and get me better fighters which obviously will pay more” He punked out of his biggest opportunity. Had he have taken the Duno fight, win or lose, I would have respected him for that.

  • Romero Duno: don’t waste your time. This kid has zero interest in taking a chance. Move on to the next.
