“I Want To Kick His A**”: Ryan Garcia Calls Out Pound-for-Pound King Despite Showing Respect

Ryan Garcia has issued a challenge to the pound-for-pound king, Terence Crawford. However, the reason for him to hotly pursue a super fight might not be alluring to the fans. The American boxer wants to show the undisputed welterweight champion his place. Can he do it?

‘KingRy’ is currently gearing up for his fight with Devin Haney, scheduled for April 20. But his social media shenanigans have attracted eyeballs as those continue to evoke concerns and amusement among fans. This time, he has challenged ‘Bud’ in a quirky manner, expressing his desire to “kick his as*.”

Ryan Garcia wants an unlikely match with Terence Crawford

Garcia, 25, turned to his X handle and expressed his respect for the welterweight champion for his numerous accolades. But he soon added his desire to exchange blows with him for no apparent reason. He wrote, “I respect Crawford and what he has reached but I want to kick his as* just cause. Let’s f*cking GO B*TCH.”

This post by the 24-1 record looks like one of the typical social media theatrics that he has adopted in the buildup to the Haney fight. Notably, the likes of Michael Jai White have condemned such behavior as they believe the lightweight boxer has a lot of work to do on his boxing game. “That does not go well in his favor because here’s a guy who needs to work on his fundamentals seriously,” White told DJ Vlad.

Despite the opinion-dividing tactics of Garcia, he has pursued big fights and names since he burst on the scene. He has fought Gervonta Davis but lost. Now, the Victorville native is fighting ‘The Dream’ next. In an age where fighters shield their records instead of fighting other big names, Oscar De La Hoya believes Garcia has done a great service to boxing.

The Golden Boy Promotion lynchpin recently shed light on the recent condition of the boxing era and compared it to his era when everybody was willing to take on a fight with other big names. De La Hoya believes Garcia is bringing back the good old times. He told Beto Duran during a live broadcast, “He’s willing to fight the best.”

“We had an era where everybody was fighting everybody. I did. I built it up, basically. Now we’re going back to that era… You always get a Ryan who is ready to fight, ready to go to war and ready to fight the best,” De la Hoya added.

On the other hand, the recent post by Garcia appears merely to be an antic, but it also doesn’t deny the fact that he was the one who called out Haney and helped ink the deal. It remains to be seen how he will fair against his childhood rival and whether he will meet Crawford in the ring down the line.
