Ryan Garcia’s Performance: How Good Was His Technique Against Mario Barrios?

This content is protected

 

I kept watching Garcia throw combos with his chin literally sticking up in the air lol.

 

That knockdown was.....

NOT legit

hit Barios with the open part of his glove not a solid punch at all. But replay does show a solid right hand lands before that so Barios might have went down due to still being a little bit stunned/accumulation

I would have went with that explanation before trying to call that right hand which doesn't even connect flush just kind of slides as legit

 

There is no evidence what so ever to show it was an open hand. It was a closed fist.

 

...that landed with the non knuckle area of the fist.

 

Footwork, legs and chin are all a bit stiff.

speed and timing good though

 

When did Haney last destroy anyone, and how many fighters have destroyed Barrios?

 

In their last fights. Haney smashed Norman Jnr. And Garcia battered Barrios.

 

You think Haney smashed Norman? lol. Not even close to a smashing. Apart from the knock down it was a boring clinching stinker. Haney doesn't smash anyone.

 

What did the score cards say?

 

What's that got got to do with whether someone got 'smashed'. What do you think that word means in boxing? Let me help you out, it means beat down. Haney landed 70 punches over 12 rounds. He didn't smash anything.

 

BTW Haney flogged Kambosos in both fights. Wasn't even close.

 

Answer the question, But you don't want to because that will reveal everything.

How many rounds did Norman win? There's your answer.

 

Garcia battered Barrios. Knock down. Won every round. Convincingly. That was a beat down. A systematic beat down.

 

I could be wrong, but I get the impression that Barrios, who was inactive since July, was a bit rusty from the inactivity, and also, he's still a relatively minor champion, so beating him isn't exactly a major achievement. The WBC was looking to get rid of Barrios in favor of a boxer who was better marketable, and they succeeded. I still think Abel Ramos deserved a rematch against Barrios.
