Ryan Garcia Remains Determined
Garcia fought with the impatience and eagerness of a 24-year-old, keen to put on a show for the packed audience. This proved his downfall as he left himself open for Davis to capitalize on his mistakes.
Despite being warned after an earlier knockdown, Garcia couldn't resist and was knocked out in the seventh round.
Garcia plans to move up to the 140-pound weight class, which will better suit his taller frame. He struggled to meet the 136-pound weight limit, and the rehydration clause prevented him from adding significant weight after cutting down.
Despite the loss, Garcia remains determined to pursue his dreams, knowing that many great boxers have suffered losses and came back stronger.
Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, Sugar Ray Robinson, and Manny Pacquiao all had devastating losses but bounced back after.
Although the loss is a setback for Garcia, he has time to learn and grow from this experience. Losing at 24 is different from losing at 34, when fighters are often stuck in their ways and unable to adapt. Garcia can use this experience to become a better fighter and eventually achieve greatness like boxing legends before him.
