In an engaging segment with ESNews, the interviewer probed Vergil Ortiz Jr. about his insights, particularly focusing on Ryan Garcia’s current predicament. “I interviewed Oscar De La Hoya yesterday,” the interviewer remarked, “He told me that Ryan looks good. You’ve known Ryan. You fought him in amateur. What do you make of his situation?”

Ortiz Jr.’s response was candid and unfiltered: It doesn’t look good. There’s just nothing. Everything about it is bad. I mean, like, it’s picking on someone who’s known him for a long time. I mean, it’s just not a good look. Everything he’s saying, I don’t know if it’s true or not. There’s really nothing I can say good about it. You know, it’s just a bad look. And I don’t know. I honestly don’t think the fight happens. I don’t think the fight happens.

McKenzie’s apprehension stems from a series of unsettling behaviors exhibited by Garcia, highlighting a consensus of worry within the boxing community.
