Ryan Garcia might not have been able to handle Gervonta Davis’ body shot in their last fight! However, he seems to be really good at throwing them. In a recent pinch, one of Garcia’s security guards proposed a body shot challenge to Garcia. It’s something ‘King Ry’ is well aware of, having done in the past. However, this time, it resulted in him becoming the butt of the joke.
The viral challenge involves an individual delivering devastating body shots to someone, either wearing protective gear or otherwise. So, Garcia didn’t hesitate when the challenge was proposed to him by his guard. Hours earlier, the Victorville native turned to social media to share the clip of the challenge with his followers. Here’s what happened!

Turning to Instagram, Garcia shared the clip with a caption that read, “I do not know why he agreed to this @fiercereflex. [I am] Not sure if I will do this challenge again. He’s actually hurt.” Meanwhile, in the clip, Garcia addressed that his guard challenged him and claimed, “I haven’t done this in years. But it’s about time that I bring it back.”
As he started punching his guard, who was wearing protective gear, Garcia seemingly lost control. Someone from Garcia’s team had to intervene to stop him after ten or so shots. Having absorbed so many ferocious blows, even the guard looked devastated. Despite that, fans decided to roast Garcia in the comments of the post.
Fan highlights Garcia lost control
Following the past few weeks, Garcia’s social media accounts have seen a bump in traffic because of his bizarre posts. And this one was no different. After the clip went live, hundreds, if not thousands of people, decided to pen their thoughts. One user poked fun at Garcia by claiming the guard is better at taking body shots than Garcia. It, of course, was a callback to when Garcia allegedly quit after taking a body shot from Davis. The user wrote, “He takes better body shots than you.”

The next user suggested Garcia had the Bohemian Grove incident imprinted in his mind while punching. Previously, during one of his X rants, Garcia had claimed he was taken to Bohemian Grove and forced to do certain things. The user wrote, “Bro was thinking about Bohemian Grove when punching.”

The next user highlighted that Garcia had lost control during the challenge and could not stop punching. “Bro didn’t wanna stop,” the user commented. However, it’s worth mentioning that Garcia seemed to be concerned by the very end of the clip about his guard.
Someone else echoed the same sentiment, questioning, “wtf is wrong with Ryan? He didn’t want to stop.” It’s plausible that Garcia was putting on a persona for the camera.
Meanwhile, the last user mockingly suggested that after the clip, no one’s going to want to do the challenge with Garcia. The user wrote, “No one going to want to do the body shot challenge anymore.”
