    So what?

    Sure he can work on his jab more, but so what if he one of the type of fighters who can win fights without a strong jab.

    He clearly went into last night's fight to score a KO.

    Unfortunately his opponent decided to survive which to his credit he did. Had Tagoe decided to even try to win just a little we would have given the KO early and we would all be singing praises about how quick and powerful Kingry is.

    Dude, how can anyone look good against an opponent who is there to run and survive to the last bell.

    Ryan literally stood infront Tagoe without throwing punches to invite him to engage and still Tagoe was very reluctant to do so.

    I think you're smart enough to know many talented fighters have not looked great when their opponents only come to survive. Even your idol Pacquiao has looked less than impressive against a couple of opponents whose only goal were to not get KO.

    Pac looked impressive against Clottey, Mosley, Algieri — all came to spoil and survive. Granted, Pac was well into the advance stages of his skill set, but at least he hurt/dropped all of them. And they were all seasoned veterans and much bigger/stronger and sturdier men with great chins.

    Can you imagine them going the distance if Pac was much bigger than them like how Ryan was much bigger than Tagoe?

    Can you imagine a 5' 10" Pac fighting a 5' 5" guy? The thought is FRIGHTENING.

    There's really no reason Tagoe should have survived. Ryan had size, speed, AND power over them.

    The criticism is well warranted especially when Ryan hypes himself up to the moon.

    "You guys are going to see something special."

    Garcia got dropped by Luke Campbell, and leaves his chin in the air.

    He's going to sleep if he fights Tank.

    Ryan looked as good as Pac did vs Clottey.

    Except Clottey was much bigger, built like a tank, had a granite chin, and experienced having fought Judah, Cotto, and Margarito.

    What happens if Pac was 5' 10" and Clottey was 5' 5"?

    If Pac was 5'10 he'd be slower, less athletic, easier to hit and wouldn't be able to make 147.

    Garcia is a creampuff waiting to be exposed, I've said it for the last few years.

    This word gets thrown around a lot. No he isn't.

    When he defeats decent opponents that are his own size then I'll consider him talented.

    Garcia looks like he'd happily don a pair of stilettos alongside Oscar's unwashed fishnets

    Ryan G needs to develop a strong jab & work off of that Jab.

    His footwork game isn’t perfect but he was in position to land his shots & he did plenty of that.

    In order to get hard headed survival 1st guys like this out of there he needs to setup his punches as opposed to just flying in winging tellegraphed shots.
    (No matter how fast he throws them)

    a strong jab is key to setup those “punch you don’t see coming” shots.

    hell he almost had him out of their behind his weak sauce jab followed by lightning rod right hand combo he threw in the 10th

    he needs more of those moments & less one & done home run swings.
