De La Hoya, in his above tweet, seemed candid about making the Garcia vs Cruz fight. However, he made a slight blunder in the process as he tagged the wrong Twitter handle of Isaaz Cruz, Ryan Garcia, and his own promotions.
Regardless of that, the focus of everyone was on the building up of Garcia and Cruz’s bout. ‘King Ry’ fought in January last year and since then, he’s eagerly looking for a noteworthy opponent, who could advance his chances for a title fight.
