    Probably a couple domestic dust ups for some money.

    There are elements of Garcia's game that are undeniably world-class: his speed, his one-shot power in both hands, and his left hook. But he has glaring holes in his defense, which he clearly has no interest in addressing; he stays very upright and hangs his chin out to dry, and that hasn't improved at all since Luke Campbell dropped him hard over 5 years ago.

    He has this odd tendency to turn his back as well, which is ridiculously amateurish for the level he is fighting at. On his day, Garcia is a handful for anyone, but he is inconsistent. I wouldn't confidently back him to beat Lopez, Paro, or Catterall, to be honest, but the Haney rematch has the potential to be huge, and he could easily win that by stoppage.

    They're saying should he go down a level and rebuild, would Zuffa be interested in that? If Benn is going to improve he will go down that route, Eddie would have found a sensible route, does Dana have that kind of patience or knowledge?

    It was hard to gauge before the fight but Benn was exposed tonight

    Garcia has always been talented but he's also been a self-admitted alcoholic recently.

    If he can keep his head straight he is legit.

    I think Teo out points him pretty comfortably, Paro I don’t think can withstand his power without a very solid game plan coming in, I’m not as familiar with Catterall to comment on.

    Ryan has raw athleticism in his back pocket at all times though.

    Be interesting to see him against Teo.

    Do you think him bouncing around trainers has anything to do with not keeping it locked in?

    When Ryan puts it all together and has his head screwed on, he’s very good.

    The problem is you don’t know what Garcia will turn up.

    This happens to Benn at any weight. Garcia will always bring the excitement, but can still lose

    Looking at the ufc model he would probably throw him in with prime Golovkin next :qmeparto: then again look how Eddie mismanaged Brook because he didn't believe he could remain disciplined long enough to reach the big names. That was his excuse anyway.
