The boxing world has begun celebrating the redemptive win Ryan Garcia scored over the weekend. Joining these celebrations is Floyd Mayweather protege, Curmel Moton. Taking to a post uploaded by ‘KingRy,’ Moton congratulated the 25-year-old fighter on bouncing back from his career’s first loss he registered in April this year.
After the devastating loss that Garcia encountered against Gervonta Davis this year, he awaited an opportunity to redeem himself. On December 3, that chance dawned, and so he seized. In a fight against Oscar Duarte, Garcia made an impressive comeback securing an 8th-round knockout. The victory was so spectacular that the boxing community was full of appreciation for him. However, according to Ryan, alongside his recent win, he also keeps his maiden career loss alive in his thoughts for motivation.
Ryan Garcia shares a lesson about losing
As he emerged victorious after having proven his worth in the sport of boxing, KingRy took to his Instagram to share pictures of the two fights he undertook this year. The first image was the one that he’d never forget. It was the moment when Tank knocked him down in their infamous Las Vegas fight. The second one was the moment from his comeback victory against Duarte. He wrote, “Losing can be the best thing for you at times. It can show you where you’re lost at.”
At the iconic T-Mobile Arena of Las Vegas, Ry faced his career’s hardest challenge in April this year. He faced Gervonta Davis. With a 22-0 unbeaten record, Garcia took the bold step to fight another undefeated knockout artist. However, the latter defeated Ry in a devastating 7th round knockout. As he faced criticism for his loss, Ryan awaited an opportunity to redeem himself. Now, the Duarte victory has earned him praise from his contemporaries in the boxing world. One of them is Curmel Moton.
Curmel Moton celebrates Garcia’s win
It is well-documented that Moton and Gervonta Davis are quite tight. The two have on multiple occasions trained together at Floyd Mayweather gym. Their camaraderie has made headlines with both praising for each other. However, being stablemates does not stop them from rejoicing great comeback narratives in boxing. So much so that when Tank’s biggest rival Ryan Garcia took home the victory in his last fight, Moton did not hesitate to acknowledge that. He responded to Garcia’s instagram post and wrote, “Congrats on the win champ.”
Ryan Garcia is back on the map, and how. Tank, on the other hand, is taking some time away from boxing to sort out issues in his personal life. While reports suggest he’ll return to the ring in early 2024, more clarifications on this front remain scarce.
