    Garcia is a left hooking welterweight Wilder. Tried for the left hook and when it didn't work he had absolutely nothing to fall back on. No right hand whatsoever

    Natural talent but never cared to improve his skills. He's likely gonna go down as a prime example of wasted talent.

    Funny isn't it? Rolly was brought in for Ryan to look sensational and then they could say see Ryan not on the juice is still awsome.......... Now this only confirmed what some suspected AND gave reason to Devins complaint.

    Garcia will likely become a full time influencer soon enough. He can still make millions there.

    Romero grew up? Humble after a huge win. That only helps sell his future fight. This was a huge stage and he thank good and gave opponent props.

    Ryan is offensively limited. Rolly shut him down with just a tight guard, a body jab and pivoting to his left.

    Just shows you how overrated a technician Haney actually is as well.

    For me there is no tell tale sign but it wouldn’t surprise me if any boxer is on something.

    Garcia is blatant though. The drastic reduction in intensity, speed, strength and bravado is a huge giveaway that he was juicing against Haney. I reckon he was probably on coke too heading into the ring.

    I can't believe I'm going to say this, but.... Ryan needs to go back to Joe Goossen... immediately!

    Teofimo was literally the only highlight of this whole event where he actually looked better than average.

    That was shocking there from Garcia, he had no plan B. Obviously that sparring footage tells a story because Rolly battered him in the footage I saw.

    Ryan passed his Jake Paul audition.

    It wasn't a lack of drugs, it was just poor boxing from Garcia.

    All rolly did was tap, jab and block garcias left hand with his own. Garcia couldn't figure it out.

    What an awful show.

    Was that odd or what? You’d think it was a regional belt on the line. Garcia didn’t look like he cared that he lost and Rolly didn’t seem to give a **** the he just won a title. I don’t say it often but this feels like a set up.

    Ms. Waleska Roldan's 109-118 scorecard was rather crazy, but the right guy won.

    The other two cards of 115-112 were okay.
