Among all the responses to the video, one comment stood out in bold. Pro boxer Ryan Garcia offered his own humorous yet direct advice. He suggested Ross might be better off not picking up those gloves again. Coming from a figure of Garcia’s stature in the boxing domain, this only added fuel to the fire of online commentary.

MKUTD’s critique was more detailed, comparing Ross’s technique unfavorably to newcomers at a Muay Thai gym, though there was recognition for his efforts in the world of martial arts.
Horrible. I know get technique right but his hip moment, the lack power, I've seen women come in first time at my muay thai gym throw better hands😆
