“Did Ryan Take Too Many Shots to the Back of His Head?”: Fans in Disbelief as Ryan Garcia Makes Bold Comparison Between Gervonta Davis and Recent Opponent Oscar Duarte

Despite facing challenges from Oscar Duarte‘s aggressive tactics, Ryan Garcia secured a victory with a knockout in the eighth round on Saturday night in Houston. Garcia, competing for the first time since his KO loss to Gervonta Davis in April, encountered disapproval from the crowd in the fifth round and seemed to be losing control of the fight. However, he turned the tide with a decisive blow to the head that ultimately sent Duarte to the canvas and forced him to take a knee.

Garcia has recently revealed that the fight against Duarte was much tougher for him than the Davis fight which he in fact lost. Fans were in disbelief and took to the comments section to air out their feelings.

After the fight, King Ry made his controversial revelation during the post-fight presser. Garcia in a press conference stated, “This was scarier than fighting Tank. I am not gonna lie. He had a hard punch.” Fans had their own interpretation of his statement. One fan claimed this was another tactic to get Davis inside the ring, stating, “Rolly said the same. They tryna lure Tank into a rematch.”

“Did Ryan take to many shots to the back of his head ? Cuz he sounds different and acting different,” said another user mocking Garcia.

“I don’t ever complain he said…” recalled another user, underscoring the boxer’s hypocrisy.
