“Someone Needs to Tell Him to Quit With the Interviews”: Ryan Garcia Using Muhammad Ali’s Example to Justify His Fighting Style Draws Wild Reactions

WBC interim lightweight champion Ryan Garcia, a rising star in the boxing world, recently caused a stir with his comments about his fighting style and comparisons to the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali. In an interview, ‘KingRy’ defended his hands-down, chin-up approach by citing Ali’s unorthodox style and success in the ring.

Garcia is set to face WBA (Regular) lightweight champion Gervonta Davis this month in what is expected to be a spectacular showdown. Moreover, it looks like he is ready to address the style of boxing that he himself has used a lot. In a recent interview with Complex, Garcia argued that in boxing, it’s not about having a textbook technique, but rather about being wise in the ring.

He pointed out that Ali, despite his non-traditional style, became one of the greatest fighters of all time. Garcia also emphasized the importance of entertainment value in boxing, stating that fans want to see exciting fights, not just technical mastery. “Muhammad Ali had his hands down half the time with his chin up in the air. How did he become the best fighter in the world? In boxing, you can’t rely on any of that. Really what it comes down to is how wise that person is being in the fight,” he said.

This is not the first time Garcia has defended the hands-down style. However, while his comments may have some merit, they also raised some concerns. In addition, these concerns and merits were addressed by the fans who were quick to react to this clip.
