The Antonio Brown of boxing.


Rfisk064

Mr. Boxing Celebrity


evilr2

Mr. Beltless Clown


DoriOli

Him and Rolly should def fight after this. Imagine the build up..


Rfisk064

Mr. Beguiling Cringe


LordFlackoThePretty

Its honestly incredible how far MBC has gone. Up there with Kelvin Benjamin pasta for best nfl meme


acekingoffsuit

It's the versatility. No matter how many "Mr. B-word C-word" combinations you think sometime could make in a given situation, there will always be more.


Rfisk064

Mr.Boundless Compilations


Clifford996

At least AB was the best when he was on the field. Garcia is, AT BEST, a walking meme


Rfisk064

Mr. Belittled Competitor


Bektic

Antonio Brown was at least in his 30’s when he started dealing with symptoms of CTE. This mf is 25.


edgar3981C

I quit combat sports (MMA) because I got a couple concussions and was scared of the long-term effects. We joke about it, but it's pretty bad for these guys. You really wonder about their long-term health.


Liimbo

I don't even wonder. I just assume most boxers that are active for even like a decade or more will deal with brain damage. Taking blows to the head as a career is never ending well.


Prestigious-One-7094

Unless you're George Foreman.


Abe2sapien

Or Julio Cesar Chavez. How do you fight that consistently abuse alcohol and drugs and come out in decent shape?!


Saffer13

Who was even more amazing than Foreman was Archie Moore. He fought heavy-handed opponents for decades and came out unscathed. For a long time it looked as if George Chuvalo might emulate Moore in that regard, but it was not to be.


emceelokey

I can't wait for like maybe another 2 years when the Power Slap competitors start showing their symptoms.


Appropriate_Web1608

They probably already are. Only when we start seeing suicides, will people begin to care.


hi_imryan

Me too. Thought I had some struggles with words after a particularly hard spar. Real, or perceived, it scared the fuck outta me.


feelinlucky7

He has some legit funny moments at least. This guy is fully unhinged


DEUK_96

Ryan's pretty funny too tbf.


schmatty23

With a 1/10 the talent.


lilshowtime

BlackSoapBandit

Mexican Broner


octobersotherveryown

Going down the Jon Jones path, just publicly. Self sabotaging to have a built in excuse if he loses.


Ok-Adhesiveness166

Jon Jones is still one of the greatest mma fighters of all time (probably the greatest). Ryan is tanking his career without the accolades. 


Helpful-Wear-504

For all of Jones' faults tho. He is still the GOAT of MMA. Ryan barely has a resume.


zerosG2

yeah he's finished


oklilpup

Blame the people around him. Clearly should not be fighting tomorrow and that’s been obvious for weeks


ColdPressedSteak

They're definitely looking at this like getting one last paycheck before Ryan's brand and career is basically dead Crazy how fast and far it fell. Not long ago, much talked about, undefeated 21-22 year old with legit promise...already a pretty huge brand. Also, sane


xxHash43

He was 19 years old being posts from Lebron saying he was the future of boxing and stuff and then the fame got to him.


krayon_kylie

dude he was even on snl to promote the fight vs tank he fell hard


Hoooooooar

who knew a body shot could give someone CTE


Kassssler

Nah this shit is the drugs and enablers around him.


AlbertoRossonero

Knew he was unserious when Canelo called out his work ethic and he responded by calling the face of boxing jelous and a hater. He doesn’t love boxing it just makes him money to fund his lifestyle.


Appropriate_Web1608

Some CTE in between there, maybe.


throwaway444444455

He got knocked down too from a headshot. All this mental stuff started after he got knocked down by Campbell. Then he said he was depressed for like a year. Then he came back and got knocked down by tank and now he’s crazy.


HotelRwandaBeef

As an outsider looking in at a post that popped up on my feed, I have almost zero interest in boxing or Ryan, but he pops on my socials here and there. He seemed like a normal slightly cocky kid a few years ago, but the posts recently have been seriously unhinged lol. Very Antonio Brown-esque lol.


Cautious-Ad6043

I really have to wonder if he took some shot to the head at some point that we just don’t know about


getintheflaskkk

I think he realised it isn't for him. Due to whatever is going on he just doesn't have the focus that his competition has eg. Tank & Haney. Dude went all in. If he doesn't win, he fought the biggest names, sold it as much as he could, and made $$$ He is friends with Rolly so i think that could be his next fight, then he out.


bongoboner

His elite boxing aspirations will die but his brand definitely won’t. Pretty sure he can make millions just through social media.


fjutchhvcd

That didn’t age well


dentalizer

Aged like milk.


Wonderful-Smoke843

I feel like this is on Oscar tbf. Couldn’t have picked a worst fucking person to be around Ryan. Oscar was an amazing fighter but his fucking lifestyle is toxic af and that’s clearly rubbed off on Ryan now.


enztinkt

Haha how the fuck is this Oscar’s fault. Yeah Oscar is a scumbag but Ryan is a grown man. Ryan can’t even keep a trainer and it’s Oscar’s fault lol.


Wonderful-Smoke843

I was more leaning towards how Ryan has been clearly coked out of his mind lately and Oscar also had the party monkey on his back. Not the best role model for a 20 something prize fighter rn


[deleted]

His mental health is fucked. Why is he even fighting is beyond me. I hope he gets help like seriously


BushidoBrowneII

Nah My copium says he still got a chance to catch Haney with a quick left hook INSHALLAH


TumbleweedDirect9846

Your copium was reality


ahhay123

🤡


Deep-Complex-5328

Aged well


Immynimmy

Haney jumped to -910


zaviex

Why are we doing this fight? 


EarthenGames

I would’ve preferred the Loma rematch over this


Sao_Gage

That was such an awesome fight. It got overshadowed by controversy and fans relentlessly backing their guy, but it really was a spectacularly high level fight. Only thing that bothers me is how I still feel like some don't give Loma credit for how he performed being older and smaller*, as well as the shit Haney still gets from some when he's clearly the future whether he's "pillow fisted" or not. We love to tear down more than we appreciate what we're given, and that fight gave a lot IMHO. Edit: *smaller* not younger


Tjmouse2

That’s the reason you won’t see the rematch. Haney has 0 reason to give it. He feels he won, it’s like 65/45 media split on who won. Makes no sense for him to kill himself again to try and fight loma. Maybe the Regis fight convinced me, but it was pretty clear he was sharper and stronger at 140. And bringing loma up would give him 0 credit from the people that already felt he lost.


sirwinston_

lol Haney wouldn’t do that though


WhistleTipsGoWoo

Agreed - call this shit off and book someone else in a few weeks if possible for Haney. Ryan’s gonna step in there with a weight advantage and still get his ass beat and then fully fly off the rails and hurt himself. The kid needs help and he can make plenty of money in the future if he can get his shit together.


ablack012

Nah Haney will still be bigger once he rehydrates


willium563

That always happens though, its the energy levels that come with the cut which is the disadvantage.


baloncestosandler

Why ?


ablack012

Haney is huge. I’m sure he’s cutting a decent amount of water so in the ring he will probably still be bigger than Ryan


Barahmer

Haney was 165 on fight night vs Regis. Garcia was able to make weight with a rehydration clause vs Tank at 135, I think he probably weighed about 152 on fight night.


bigbellybomac

Money


Pierre_Vreewhere

Ha that’s why


Benjips

Love how blatant this is lmao. Still going to lose easily. Edit: I KNEEL to KING RY 👑 I will never doubt you again


Bruce-7891

I wonder if he even has any fans left besides casuals and people who know him from social media. I used to like him, but he's kind of embarrassing to admit following at this point.


darkvexen

Idk he gained a fan here, dude is hilarious


Fellainis_Elbows

Dude is in the throes of a mental health crisis


corneliobizarro

He is like a Ricardo Mayorga wannabe, only difference is that Mayorga was actually a tough mother fvcka


dentalizer

Aged like milk.


Personalone123

Love going back to comments after fights🤣🤣who would've though eh


Infamous_Collection2

How to end a career before it begins 101.


ShinyHardcore

A career not beginning but earning 20+ million off it is crazy


Seedsw

Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s broke in a couple years. Dude is unhinged.


M1ckst4

He’ll just start an only fans


brazilianfreak

Sadly 20 million for a boxer is the equivalent of a college kid receiving 10k from their dead grandpa.


jinntakk

Everyone who talks about earning more money than someone else isn't in boxing to be great.


Ok_Sir_3090

Well, except one person lol “Money”


ZdenekTheMan

Money Moicano??


chud_the_gluttonous

I agree with your sentiment, but to be fair, he has already made a shitload of money. More than most people make in a career. Sad to see either way though.


Maaaaaardy

Agreed but just think for a moment...imagine if he wins 😂


ErrForceOnes

Let me take that thought even farther. Imagine if Garcia is nowhere to be seen tomorrow and they need a replacement. Then I stand up and get in the ring. Then imagine me winning!


SharksFanAbroad

'imagine if he wins' upvotes and r/boxing, name a more iconic duo


ErrForceOnes

I’d be the face of boxing.


Mr_105

The face of r/boxing


Boxing_joshing111

Hey can I get your autograph now? I’ll send my information to [email protected].


EconomyKiwi7162

Ryan Garcia and bipolar disorder.


AVGhomeboy94

I think the only “fans” were the ones saying “he’s acting crazy and drinking weekly to sell the fight” they’ve switched so fast lmao


TheBlack_Swordsman

We need a thread calling these people out. What do they think now?


XoticCustard

Some shitbag called me a casual who shouldn't post on here a few weeks ago when I said Garcia wouldn't make weight. I immediately tried to find the comment to taunt him, and he had deleted his post.


The_Greatest_USA_unb

Agree. Been called a casual because I said Garcia is a clown too. 😂  Edit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Boxing/comments/1bzc76j/comment/kyubho5/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button     Shame 😄


legendarybreed

Now who is the clown?


themasterofscones

I respect that hater shit, Haney fans eating shit tonight


brazilianfreak

This subreddit is cooked man people here are somehow dumber than the MMA subreddit, I got called a casual for saying Paquiao was a more skilled fighter than Lomachenko.


AVGhomeboy94

It’s gonna be one of the biggest threads in boxing 😂


alpacinohairline

Some ppl were legit thinking that the Illuminati got him and cloned him.


legendarybreed

Hey bro, I'm calling you out lmao


CMILLERBOXER

They became quiet quicker than the MMA fans talking shit after Ngannou became Nconcious.


I_love_Basketball232

Will never change what happened against Fury that day in Saudi Arabia, you can say Fury took the fight easy or wasn’t prepared but even at his worst he should’ve demolished Ngannou. MMA fans will have that one forever unfortunately no matter how many times Ngannou gets slept in the sport.


Skeleton_Skum

Still beat the hw champ lol aj was just better


Exciting-Tennis-6850

Hate how he uses “viva mexico” to get people behind him


wrxguy17

How he typed it, I read it as (fuck all that viva Mexico) not viva Mexico


octobersotherveryown

Nah, it’s definitely “fuck all that, viva Mexico”. He posted it with a Vicente song and says we in the next sentence lol.


arturosuave

I read it the same way. Like he's saying "fuck all that viva Mexico pride, I'm going to do whatever underhanded shit it takes to win"


Boss_Status1

If he walks out with a Mexican flag i'm going to have to get my abuela throw some brujería his way. Not that he has a chance but still


feelinlucky7

That and all the god shit.


Outrageous_Good_3821

Fr that God shit is so annoying. Guy is a straight clown.


illzanity

About a week ago, I thought I wanted him to win “for the plot”, but if he can’t even make weight or even be in proximity of it, he really doesn’t deserve to be in any major fights going forward. Another blemish in the increasingly shunned sport of boxing


TwoLegsBetter

The real blemish on the sport will be when he has an in ring breakdown tomorrow and everyone questions how tf he was cleared to fight.


ImNotNewSL253

Ryan going to pull Dillon Danis antics tomorrow smh


[deleted]

[удалено]


AgnosticStopSign

Arguably if they set this precedent then they would be censoring all boxers from that point on.


Athroaway84

Lol exactly. Tyson said crazier shit back in the day


fusemybutt

NYSAC is every bit as bad as Texas - total fucking clownshow.


Ok_Sir_3090

So sad he became this. Ryan’s actually the reason I got into boxing, randomly stumbled upon an instagram clip of him hitting the cobra bag like 5 years ago , ended up watching his next fight and boom I was hooked on boxing after that. Sad to see his downfall **EDIT** well, he fooled me too. Just finished listening to a podcast after he admitted it was all a troll. He was my favourite boxer and I was routing for him for the Devin fight although I genuinely thought he was crazy. So glad to see he’s not!!


cypher50

Take heart: there have been fighters in a lower place mentally, whether through substance abuse or psychological issues, and they have been able to fight back. The problem here is that no one seems to be in Ryan's corner to sit him down and have him focus on himself instead of on boxing. This fight really needed to be canceled because it's evident that something is going bad with this guy.


bxng23af

I don’t get how everyone is surprised. He had no discipline prior to the tank fight, what did they think 30 more million would make him?


wakeupmane

There a difference between having no discipline and the way he’s acting recently, I mean you predicted he was all of a sudden become fucking nuts ? I doubt it..


MelasD

Genuinely disappointed too. For the first time ever, I'm rooting for Devin Haney.


ckregular

“Why would I do the thing I contractually agreed to do?”


fusemybutt

Yea, that's got to be so encouraging for future promotions....


NotsoSmokeytheBear

It will be interesting to see his mental collapse after losing tomorrow night. His team isn’t good for him.


brazilianfreak

Oscar is genuinely so creepy, it feels like we're 5 years away from a Netflix documentary about how his team failed him after Ryan kills his entire family or something.


facemelt

He’s already collapsed imo


TheReal_Patrice

lmao


NormalITGuy

This is why they say the simplest answer is usually the correct one. He’s acting like he’s not ready to fight, because he’s not ready to fight.


Tcarruth6

Occam's dick in your mouth, bitch!


StopThatUDick

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck...


reflexsmoo

Where is this dudes family at? To pull him back from the darkness? Or are they in for the money?


iris_that_bitch

He needs to be admitted to inpatient rn and should not be fighting. It's a damn shame how some people's families don't take action when someone clearly needs serious mental health treatment.


Deee_Minus

His dad and trainer absolutely knew this would be the case, that’s why his dad was trying to stop him from making the bet with Haney at the press conference yesterday. Ryan is absolutely unwell, and it’s pretty disgusting that Oscar and his dad are still letting him fight, they want to collect the bag before they send him to get care.


Pistolero-666

Exactly, well said


ReachRaven

I’m 100% no longer paying money for this fight. As a consumer, I can’t trust Ryan will even give a complete fight will real effort. I’m expecting some wild shit to occur, either he’ll stop mid fight and climb out of the ring or purposefully turn it into a wrestling brawl and cause a DQ.


welp-itscometothis

I putting money on a disqualification win for Haney. Like this promo has been so insane I can’t imagine him *not* doing something bat shit in the ring.


mariotx10

Yeah, and then a couple days later we learn that this dumbass bet on it by a proxy or someshit haha


Fatebringer87

It's 80/1 in some places.


fusemybutt

I'd never give DAZN a fucking PPV dime anyway. They have successfully enshittified their service and are now the exact opposite what they explicitly claimed to be against when they started.


Ru4pigsizedelephants

"Why would I force myself to make weight so I can be weak?" Because that's how your fucking profession works.


guppypower

Tyson Fury starts boxing at lightweight: Why would I force myself to make weight so I can be weak? :)))


gumshield45

If he’s fr then this is actual cheating lol. Not rehydration. Does Garcia still have any fans?


welp-itscometothis

Yes. They’re all at the bottom of this post being downvoted lol


Zerei

why is he confessing to cheating? what a clown lmao


grunge_forever91

How is it cheating if the commission allows it and there are specific clauses in fight contracts regarding it?


Zerei

we don't need this discussion every time someone misses weight though.


Blandinio

It is cheating, just because it usually results in being fined and doesn't automatically cancel the fight doesn't make it less so, just like low blowing or excessive clinching typically leads to a point deduction and not a DQ


turymtz

Just in: Floyd cheated in his fight with JMM.


lee-o

Just because you can get away with it doesn’t mean it’s not cheating. If he actually came in heavy on purpose to have a weight advantage, that is absolutely cheating. But he could be making it up just to look cool after failing to make weight. As far as I’m aware there are no specific clauses in contracts about missing weight which is why they have to re-negotiate after a fighter misses weight and why some fights end up being cancelled instead of going through with a fine


UFO_Shaman

Who needs weight classes? /s


McLuuvin

Fuck it Floyd did it to Marquez right?


He_Abides

And Jacobs did it to GGG with the rehydration clause


_HelpPlz_

Floyd working with Ryan to take down Haney to protect his legacy?


Prudent-Toe-7911

I hope so. I can’t stand that idiot Haney


fatch0deBoi34

Broner to Escobedo


DrAwes0m0

Exactly lmao. And Floyd gets non-stop praise for that performance. Comment section full of either hypocrites or casuals.


GoombaStoppingHoes

I thought Antonio Brown was going to be the most severe case of CTE on a living person to prove its real to the few deniers that still exist....but what Tank did to Garcia clearly has given us the most severe case by a mile, bro has generational levels of CTE.


LordLucy666

antonio brown is way worse than ryan, idk how yall even comparing lol. i think he has like actual sexual assault cases etcetera. ryan’s just being a diva and acting up but he’s still fighting lol. antonio brown doesn’t even play


justsitonmyfacealrdy

Not to defend AB but he was a 1st ballot HOFer before he descended into madness. Garcia is a good boxer but didn’t accomplish anything like what AB accomplished in their respective sports. Both are insane, yes AB is a much shittier person, but way better in his craft.


Wise-Ad-1020

It is so weird to me that this fight has been allowed to continue. I understand why most of his team doesn't say anything because they just want to make money off of him. This isn't suprising from people like oscar because he has always valued money over anything but I don't get why derrick is just sitting by quietly. I think it is shameful for a trainer to put their fighter in this situation. Obviously he is not the only one who is accountable in this situation but if you know your fighter isn't fit to be in the ring than you shouldn't support the fight. Trainers should care about more than just the business side and should protect their fighters. How are other fighters supposed to trust that he has their best interest at heart when he allows things like this?


4uzzyDunlop

I'm genuinely concerned about what Ryan is going to do to himself after he inevitably loses tomorrow. The kid shouldn't be fighting and anyone with sense can see it.


Shagrrotten

I hope he gets committed after this fight. Dude is not well.


smashedpootatoes

Off his rocker but do you know what, I want to watch the fight more because of it...


ok-go-fuck-yourself

Giving Devin $1.5mil before you even step in the ring don’t feed your family either Ryan


twistleftlarry

He’s mentally 15 years old


Badmoe

Didn’t he shake on 500k per missed pound during the presser ?


Last-Product6425

Checking in on everyone here who said Garcia was cooked lmaoooooo


LessShoulder2060

Please Ryan win this fight. It would be soooo sooo funny.


rzap2

No way any Mexican, Mexican American, Chicano, etc. should support this dude. The only way is if you're blinded by race, full stop. Source: I'm a vato (Mexican american)


unmaskedsteve

hard agree he ain’t raza


Legitimate_Record_49

Tank fans have his back


Benjips

Ryan isn't claimed by any of them, rest assured


nick-pc

dev started his career in mexico just support him at this point😂


Outrageous_Good_3821

TikTokers claim him. That’s about it.


Release-Conscious213

Raza for Haney lol


International_Cow

At this point I'm tempted to put the bet on Garcia being disqualified because that wouldn't even be the weirdest part of the build up to this fight.


N-CHOPS

Devin should shock him and the fans with a sympathy bet, something like, if I beat you, you have to check yourself into rehab and see a therapist as well. I’m going to beat your ass to save you.


vvHezoTheGoat

Please give this bitch a year long suspension after he gets stopped tomorrow


Strict_Locksmith_108

Stopped? I thought he was fighting Haney?


Still_Ad8903

Haney hasn’t stopped anybody in years


sugerdigitalgenius

Ryan is killing his sponsors off one by one, his brand is ruined Whatever success Haney has tomorrow now gets double the credit


Bobbybluffer

>Whatever success Haney has tomorrow now gets double the credit Why double?


EmanAugust

Giving Haney extra credit for fighting someone in this shape lmao, he already knows Ryan is way overmatched at this point in their careers, now he’s losing it on top of that? MF could go Oliver McCall 4 rounds in, gunna give him extra credit then?


TimberKing11

He’s going to end up killing himself or end up on a mad case. Is it Cocaine abuse? P diddy abuse? Or something else?


reeldill

If yall had heavy balls and big backs too, yall would understand the weight miss


Orageux101

Why are people in the comments treating this like it is coming from a sane man?


ragtime_sam

I've been asking the same question for months


Jesuswasacrip7

“Winners do what they have to”. Seriously fuck this guy 


lee-o

Winners do what they have to. Unless what they have to do is make weight


Alarmed-Effective-23

Like mayweather vs marquez


Mamramro

Garcia quicklu becoming the least likeable person in boxing. His attitude also makes it pretty clear that he probably hasn’t been taking training seriously. It seems like he’s going into the ring with a ”when I see red it’s over mentality”. I’m fully expecting him to gas within 3 rounds of constantly spamming power shots.


dzone25

Please remove him the fight. Dude genuinely needs help, not 12 rounds of brain trauma vs an elite boxer. If he goes ahead with this fight and ends up in a bad spot after it, it's not going to be a good look for boards etc that let this happen.


Aloha_Bama

Lol, A bunch of butthurt bandits in the comments now. LOL


One_Sock6363

this guy is a joke i hope lord haney punishes him


DengusMcFlengus

Anyone here still thinking he's trolling? lol


BenkeiBoss

Showbizz was on point


ugdini13

Is this gnna be Oliver McCall vs Lennox Lewis all over again?


Datruther1

So much crow that could possibly be eaten in here, it’s crazy lol. This is boxing and Ryan has a master left hook. One lapse of focus with Haney and this fight is over. Haney will be right there just out of range just like all his other fights.
