    In honesty that Eubank was done and also beat him well in the first

    Eubanks the same age as myself, at his age he could not recover from that first war

    Eubank was never world level himself, guy got beat clearly by Saunders who was fringe world level himself, but prime for prime, he’d also woop Eubank

    I think a focused Garcia is proper world level though, and these are the type of fights he needs to build his confidence. He beats Teofimo

    two years of high school language is mandatory here. Doesn’t have to be Spanish though. Could take French or whatever.

    I keep telling you guys it's a completely different ballgame when you face punchers, especially world class ones

    Conor Brent has been spoon fed a diet of featherfists with embarrassing KO percentages from day one. Ryan hasn't fought many and has been dropped by 3 of the ones he has fought. If Conor caught him clean I think he'd have dropped him too

    It wasn't when I was in high school, which granted, was 28 years ago.:lol: THey gave us Spanish lessons, but I ignored them. Ryan probably did the same thing. I was a great student with very good grades. I very much doubt Ryan was either.:lol:

    1. Sick Eubank on a rehydration clause
    2. Washed Prograis fighting 10 pounds above his weight class
    3. Old vets cherry picked to make Benn look good.

    Ryan is up there with one of the most uncoordinated coordinated, or coordinated uncoordinated, fighters Ive seen.

    Hes obviously well coordinated, he relies on explosive accuracy and timing. But that coordination is wrapped in uncoordination. He oversteps, he over reaches, idk he can be sloppy with his movements in there.

    Just interesting to me lol

    Usually happens when the dude is getting punched on. Under what logic should a fight be stopped when punches are missing? We just stopping fights now based on predictions on how things will play out?

    I think the answer is probably that Ryan is a crazy talent who is lazy. He gets by on his talent, ridiculous speed, and solid power. Not on his actual training. So he’s doing wrong things because of a lack of training/schooling, getting away with it due to his talent

    I was pissed they enrolled me in the Spanish course against my will and I didn't like the Cuban woman teaching it. She was quite nasty. So my mother went to the school and said, he doesn't want to take it, it's not mandatory, so get him out of the class. So they did! Granted, my mother was scary as ****!:lol:
