Stephen A. Smith ‘blames’ Gervonta Davis for Ryan Garcia’s fall to hell

By
Gervonta Davis

The boxing world has strongly condemned Ryan Garcia‘s recent disgraceful conduct. Despite his talent and potential, no amount of excuses can mitigate the damage caused by his disparaging comments.

The sports community has no place for such hateful behavior, and it’s shocking that a young, promising star has reached this point. Just a year ago, Garcia was considered one of the rising stars pushing the boundaries of boxing.

Garcia was already serving a year-long suspension with financial forfeiture due to failing drug tests. Instead of focusing on redemption, he exacerbated his situation with universally offensive remarks.

The WBC swiftly removed him from its membership rolls, signaling that such behavior would not go unpunished. Esteemed sports analyst Stephen A. Smith speculated that there might be underlying reasons for Garcia‘s downward spiral.

The loss that traumatized Garcia

On his show, “The Stephen A. Smith Show,” the renowned NBA analyst suggested that Garcia’s descent might have been triggered by his first professional loss to Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis.

The much-anticipated fight took place at the T-Mobile Arena on April 22 last year. Garcia was knocked down in the second round and, despite showing some promise, ultimately succumbed to Davis‘s relentless body shots, going down on his knee.

Stephen A. Smith believes the loss had a profound impact on Garcia. Despite there being no shame in losing to a formidable opponent, Garcia felt deeply humiliated.

“It was a good fight; he got caught and got dropped, got right back up, went back to fight Gervonta Davis, and not only did he do that, but you know you get caught by a body shot that happens,” said Smith.

“I think we’re seeing a brother that’s at the top of the heat in the fight game that’s absolutely box office, and we’d be talking about who he’s going to fight next.

“He does seem mentally warped, and alcohol and drugs are what people are alluding to is involved.”

Unfortunately, Garcia struggled to accept the defeat. Unlike Frank Martin, who handled his loss gracefully, Garcia dishonored his contract for the Haney fight, came in overweight, and tested positive for drugs twice.

Gervonta Davis fuels wild conspiracy theory about Devin Haney altering Ryan Garcia’s drug tests

By

Ryan Garcia‘s win over Devin Haney is in the past, but a pair of drug tests continue to rear their ugly head. There is conjecture about the positive results and there is still a ton to be determined about whether Garcia willingly cheated.

While that continues to play out, Haney has been vocal on social media about Garcia’s results. He’s adamant that Garcia cheated, and even dropped very specific numbers about Garcia’s “ostarine” levels.

Tank Davis thinks Devin Haney framed Ryan Garcia

While it’s a great counterargument from Haney, some fans are growing suspicious about how Haney obtained that information.

A Gervonta Davis fan account has gone so far as to claim that Haney himself “spiked” the drug tests.

It seems absolutely insane, but even Tank himself retweeted it. Davis has taken Garcia’s side in this whole drama since the moment the reports came out about the positive results.

It’s a surprise to see Davis have the back of a former opponent, but he may just dislike Haney that much.

Eddie Hearn calls Gervonta Davis a “f*ing idiot” and reveals Devin Haney is furious with Ryan Garcia

By

All boxing, all drama, all the time. Ryan Garcia‘s epic win over Devin Haney has truly been turned on its head following reports that Garcia failed drug tests for a banned substance right before and after the fight.

Garcia and Haney have already addressed the allegations. So has a lot of the boxing world, including Gervonta “Tank” Davis. While everyone is entitled to their opinion, Haney’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, would prefer that some people keep their opinions to themselves.

Eddie Hearn blasts Tank Davis for scathing tweet

Hearn went off on Thursday, attacking Davis for his comments.

Hearn is referring to Tank claiming that they were “doing anything to take away the win from Ryan“. In the same tweet, Davis had also boldly claimed that Hearn should be banned if Garcia gets stripped of his victory.

Obviously, Hearn didn’t appreciate the comments. Davis has since deleted the tweet, something he’s known for.

Devin Haney is “furious” with Ryan Garcia after failed test

Hearn also took the time to explain how Haney feels following the Garcia news. Haney wants the loss erased from his record.

Ryan Garcia Given a Knockout Chance against Terence Crawford; Curmel Moton Lashes Out at Fantasy Matchmaker

By
Terence Ryan

The one punch that Ryan Garcia has greatly boasted of is his left hook. Ahead of the fight against Gervonta Davis aka Abdul Wahid, ‘KingRy’ argued that he would put ‘Tank’ to sleep provided he touched the boxer from Baltimore with his favorite punch. But, ‘Tank’ knocked out ‘KingRy’ in the 7th round. Anyway, against Devin Haney on March 30th for the WBC Super-Lightweight title, Ryan Garcia will likely depend on his left hook again for the win.

In this context, Ray Jackson wondered about a fantasy match between Garcia and former two-time undisputed champion Terence Crawford. As Jackson hoped Garcia would land his left hook on ‘Bud’, Floyd Mayweather’s protege Curmel Moton intervened. Here is what happened.

Can Ryan Garcia’s left hook KO Terence Crawford?

Lately, Terence Crawford told Boxing Social that Ryan Garcia vs. Devin Haney was a “great fight“. Although he thought both were hungry, Crawford believed Devin Haney had the edge. In his opinion, ‘The Dream’ was “more polished” and “well rounded”. Of course, Crawford’s statements upset ‘KingRy’. For the same reason, Garcia recently wrote on X, “I respect Crawford and what he has reached but I want to kick his a** just cause.” On that note, Ray Jackson now argued that ‘KingRy’ could KO ‘Bud’ with his left hook.

“Bud did get ROCKED by Gamboa so it’s a small possibility Ryan could land that left hook and KO him,” wrote Ray Jackson, referring to Yuriorkis Gamboa vs. Terence Crawford which ‘Bud’ won via a 9th-round TKO. But, as soon as the tweet came to Curmel Moton’s notice, he said, “You tryna p*ss boxing twitter off today.”

In other words, Moton fails to believe that Ryan Garcia can survive against ‘Bud’ Crawford relying on his left hook. In this connection, one must mention that while Garcia favors his left hook, Roy Jones Jr. recently advised ‘KingRy’ to have more “weapons” against Devin Haney.

Roy Jones Jr. thinks Ryan Garcia’s left hook is not sufficient

According to former Cruiserweight champion Roy Jones Jr., between Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney, the more mature and developed fighter will win. In his opinion, it is a matter of who can “hold on the longest”. And while he knows that ‘KingRy’ is familiar with Devin Haney’s skills as they fought six times as amateurs, Jones Jr. wants Garcia to have more than a left hook.

“You can’t just depend on the left hook. Everybody knows about your left hook now,” he said. “I think he should develop more tools. His right hand, jab, body shots. Develop a few more weapons,” Roy Jones Jr. added. Hopefully, Garcia will take Jones Jr.’s advice into consideration and exhibit better tools against Haney. But, do you think Ryan Garcia has a chance against Terence Crawford in the ring?

Julio Cesar Chavez delivers blistering criticism of Ryan Garcia’s last fight

By
Ryan Garcia

Ryan Garcia got the win over Mexican Oscar Duarte with a resounding knockout, silencing many critics, as it was a fight that represented an opportunity for the American fighter to redeem himself after his loss to Gervonta Davis in April.

Despite the victory, Ryan Garcia’s performance did not convince everyone, as former Mexican champion Julio Cesar Chavez expressed his dissatisfaction by stating that Garcia spent much of the fight running.

“What kind of boxing am I watching now?” he commented during the broadcast of the fight on TV Azteca.

It was a criticism of Ryan’s complicated performance against a Mexican fighter with a lot of power and who came into this fight with 11 consecutive knockouts.

What does Ryan Garcia plan to do next?

The fight against Duarte proved to be a significant challenge for Garcia, as he was an aggressive opponent and also managed to hurt Ryan with power punches with his right hand, which caused him to back off.

It was at the end of the eighth round when “KingRy” found his opponent with a blow to the temple that put Duarte in danger.

The favorite realized the situation and lashed out to send him to the canvas, and although the Mexican stood up, it was when the referee counted to 10 and did not allow him to continue that led to Garcia’s comeback victory.

Ryan Garcia, who made $30 million in his fight against Gervonta Davis last April, made $5 million against Duarte according to various reports, barely a sixth of his previous earnings, and as WBA super lightweight champion he now wants an outright title fight.

By

Garcia then responded to Taylor’s message by criticizing his boxing skills and saying that ‘Prettyboy’ had not done enough to earn a fight with him. Garcia said:

Taylor then proceeded to challenge Garcia for a fight on a Misfits card and said he would defeat the 25-year-old more impressively than Gervonta Davis did. Taylor said:

Garcia scoffed at the idea of fighting Taylor at a Misfits event. This did not sit well with ‘Prettyboy’ who went on a rant claiming he fought more often than Garcia and was just as well-known as him.

Taylor then offered to fight Garcia at 154 pounds.
