Sadly, Garcia went into the bout three-pounds over the 140-pound restrict making him ineligible to win the WBC title. Nevertheless, it seems as if turning into a world champion was by no means a priority for ‘King Ryan.’ Successful was the one purpose, irrespective of the fee.

“I don’t know what made me provide you with the thought, truthfully. At some point I simply determined to only go all in, and decide to the plan that I had. And I used to be not gonna budge for no person. I used to be performing like, sporadic. Like simply loopy. Faces, I’d do that (scrunch) with my nostril, after which I’d be like, ‘It’s only a tick.’ I did make changes, however what was actual although is at instances I did drink a bit bit throughout camp. As a result of I wish to drink.”
