Ryan Garcia Sparks Controversy with Sparring Footage
Ryan Garcia, the rising star in the world of boxing, has once again found himself at the center of controversy. The 24-year-old lightweight recently shared a video on social media of himself dropping a sparring partner with a left-right combination. While this may seem like a normal occurrence in the world of boxing, the backlash that followed was anything but normal.
The video, which has since been deleted, sparked criticism from fans and fellow boxers alike. Many saw it as a classless move by Garcia, who is known for his flashy and sometimes controversial behavior. Some even went as far as calling him a “wretch” for posting the clip and using his wealth and fame to exploit a less well-off sparring partner.
But the controversy didn’t stop there. It was also speculated that the sparring partner in the video was none other than Frank Martin, a lightweight fighter who shares the same trainer as Garcia. This only added fuel to the fire, as fans were outraged that Garcia would use a fellow boxer as a prop for his own self-promotion.
Garcia, however, defended his actions by stating that he had paid the sparring partner and therefore had the right to do whatever he wanted with the footage. He also praised the fighter’s skills and claimed that he was a future champion. But this did little to appease the anger of fans and critics.
Improving Right Hand Gives Garcia Hope for Upcoming Fight
Despite the controversy surrounding the sparring footage, there was one positive takeaway for Garcia. He dropped the sparring partner with a right hand, which is considered to be his weaker arm. This is a significant improvement for Garcia, who has struggled with his right hand throughout his career.
This improvement could not have come at a better time, as Garcia is set to face off against Devin Haney on April 20th. Haney, who is also a rising star in the lightweight division, is known for his slick defense and technical skills. If Garcia hopes to have a chance at defeating him, he will need to rely on more than just his trademark left hook.
In the end, only time will tell if Garcia’s right hand has truly improved or if it was just a lucky punch in sparring. But one thing is for sure, the controversy surrounding the video has only added more fuel to the fire for their upcoming fight.
