Ryan Garcia Given a Knockout Chance against Terence Crawford; Curmel Moton Lashes Out at Fantasy Matchmaker

The one punch that Ryan Garcia has greatly boasted of is his left hook. Ahead of the fight against Gervonta Davis aka Abdul Wahid, ‘KingRy’ argued that he would put ‘Tank’ to sleep provided he touched the boxer from Baltimore with his favorite punch. But, ‘Tank’ knocked out ‘KingRy’ in the 7th round. Anyway, against Devin Haney on March 30th for the WBC Super-Lightweight title, Ryan Garcia will likely depend on his left hook again for the win.

In this context, Ray Jackson wondered about a fantasy match between Garcia and former two-time undisputed champion Terence Crawford. As Jackson hoped Garcia would land his left hook on ‘Bud’, Floyd Mayweather’s protege Curmel Moton intervened. Here is what happened.

Can Ryan Garcia’s left hook KO Terence Crawford?

Lately, Terence Crawford told Boxing Social that Ryan Garcia vs. Devin Haney was a “great fight“. Although he thought both were hungry, Crawford believed Devin Haney had the edge. In his opinion, ‘The Dream’ was “more polished” and “well rounded”. Of course, Crawford’s statements upset ‘KingRy’. For the same reason, Garcia recently wrote on X, “I respect Crawford and what he has reached but I want to kick his a** just cause.” On that note, Ray Jackson now argued that ‘KingRy’ could KO ‘Bud’ with his left hook.

“Bud did get ROCKED by Gamboa so it’s a small possibility Ryan could land that left hook and KO him,” wrote Ray Jackson, referring to Yuriorkis Gamboa vs. Terence Crawford which ‘Bud’ won via a 9th-round TKO. But, as soon as the tweet came to Curmel Moton’s notice, he said, “You tryna p*ss boxing twitter off today.”

In other words, Moton fails to believe that Ryan Garcia can survive against ‘Bud’ Crawford relying on his left hook. In this connection, one must mention that while Garcia favors his left hook, Roy Jones Jr. recently advised ‘KingRy’ to have more “weapons” against Devin Haney.

Roy Jones Jr. thinks Ryan Garcia’s left hook is not sufficient

According to former Cruiserweight champion Roy Jones Jr., between Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney, the more mature and developed fighter will win. In his opinion, it is a matter of who can “hold on the longest”. And while he knows that ‘KingRy’ is familiar with Devin Haney’s skills as they fought six times as amateurs, Jones Jr. wants Garcia to have more than a left hook.

“You can’t just depend on the left hook. Everybody knows about your left hook now,” he said. “I think he should develop more tools. His right hand, jab, body shots. Develop a few more weapons,” Roy Jones Jr. added. Hopefully, Garcia will take Jones Jr.’s advice into consideration and exhibit better tools against Haney.
