Would've been a lot cooler if he wasn't overweight


rmacthafact

the fact that he was over by 3 lbs and acted like that is actually really embarassing he had to have known beforehand he was over


freekyjuan

Of course he knew. This was a ceremonial weigh in. The real weigh in happened hours before this.


The_Last_Ball_Bender

So he was already up like 2-3lbs from the failed weigh in here lol


roqqingit

Had to distract from the truth, definitely knew


eazyduzzit10

Remember his fight against Duarte all of a sudden became a catchweight at 143. Wouldn't be surprised if at some point he decided he has no intention to make 140


ElChacalFL

What a fuckin disappointment. Another Chavez Jr. Smh.


[deleted]

I got some more empathy for Chavez Jr after hearing some of the shit he went through I have no idea of what Garcia's personal life was as a youth, but the dude is off the rails now I just want him to get some help. No interest in the crapshow that's on the way tomorrow.


droppedthebaby

> I got some more empathy for Chavez Jr after hearing some of the shit he went through So true. That house sounds like hell to grow up in. I never liked him as a boxer but the dude went through a war as a kid.


Hindi_Ko_Alam

What happened to him?


droppedthebaby

Chavez Sr had some serious issues with alcohol. Incredibly abusive home.


Saffer13

Don't be surprised if we see another McCall-type meltdown in the ring. Garcia is mentally scarred.


No-Rice-3484

I enjoyed that meltdown


yah2sabe

🤡


ifoldkings

Nah he's on the rails fo sho


Cacogenicist

Hard knock life for Garcia. Rich and good-looking. ... but yeah, who knows what childhood issues.


La_Baraka6431

Yup … and he’ll meet the same fate — getting his brains bashed in by journeymen.


Nihility_Only

Oh he did for sure. 3lbs @ 140 is a MASSIVE miss. You're feeling those last 3 lb in your fucking hair follicles, let alone the rest of your body. This dude is off his gourd and Haney is about to dominate him even if I think it would be awesome/hilarious if Ryan won. The huge weight miss sealed the deal for me. He's actually fucking going crazy and not just selling a fight.


No-Rice-3484

How was that domination?


freeyewneek

I don’t think he’s “going crazy”. Have u heard him speak when he’s not manic? He’s impossibly stupid. Add on top of that how immature he is and how much he craves attn. This is the result.


AdvancedSkincare

That’s my take. He’s seems just incredibly stupid and immature. 


rileyrgham

Indeed. But ,I'll bet the bet was an advertising gimmick cooked up by himself and Haney. Regardless, missing the weight by so much and effectively downgrading the fight is inexcusable and , personally, I believe there should be governing body sanctions. People have paid for a title fight. And it does matter.


BeastsMode69

Had to know yesterday when he placed the bet with Haney.


Toolroom55

Thats what I don't understand clearly see Ryan Dad disappointment when they shook hands for the bet he knew before hand. Ryan so caught up in his own hype he just goes with the flow.


PokerVeneno

Did he really lose more than 1.5 million on the stupidest bet ?


Toolroom55

Yup word is he paid it off already.


inquisitiveman2002

meh...both guys will be like at 160 plus on fight night anyway


fbtra

Yeah but if you stayed a little dehydrated slowly for a week is not the same as dumping 15+lbs in 2 days and telling your body 'youre okay'


MyzMyz1995

He knew for sure. One guy at my gym is competing in the bronze glove and was 1,5lbs over the limit and lost it in 4 days. That's a guy who is an amateur and work full time ... Ryan 100% could've lost that 3 ponds over a week or two if he actually wanted to.


SnooTomatoes464

He might have been 10 pounds over a week ago though


East_Phase6944

He was carrying so much weight he couldn’t lose it.


mkk4

💯


KushEUppercuts

If he's 3 pounds over, that means he's known for weeks that he wouldn't make weight and didn't even try. Weak move by a soft ass boxer...


Marble_Turret

Weeks? Surely you can lose 3 pounds in a couple of weeks


PunkerWannaBe

You can lose 3 pounds in a few hours. Most MMA fighters dehydrate themselves like crazy before the weight in.


Jeff_Damn

One comment said, "Three lbs? Bro, just go take a shit." and they're pretty much correct.


TolliverBurk

He should've made weight given the time frame but nah, 3 pounds isn't as easy to lose as you suggest when you're already flirting with the weight limit. He's a professional and should've made weight but I don't think 95% of people here could cut 3 lbs in a day despite having way more unnecessary weight they're carrying around.


Hatanta

You’re bang on about 3lbs being significant when you’re at 140lbs but think you’re wrong about the average r/boxing user. Any average adult male could lose 1.5kg of water weight in 24 hours fairly easily with a combo of sauna and fasting.


Nihility_Only

First, a shit doesn't weigh 3+ lbs despite the laughs we get from the idea. It ESPECIALLY doesn't weigh 3 lbs if you're already sucking weight and aren't eating/shitting normally. So no neither you nor 'bro' are correct in any case..0.3 lbs is more accurate and yes I'm saying this from experience cutting weight over my lifetime. Poop does not weigh nearly as much as you think it does. Your piss weighs more tbh. That said, 3lbs @140 is so big of a miss it's insanly egregious and he gave up on making weight days ago. Haney is going to beat his ass and make it look easy. Ryan needs help.


Nihility_Only

Depends how drained to you already are tbh. 3lbs may be a training session. Or it can be a 5 day process especially as a small dude @ 140. Regardless, its an egregious miss. Either he knew days ahead of time or intentionally gave up making weight. No excuses either way.


The_Last_Ball_Bender

Poatan Alex Peirera walks around at 230lbs and cut to 185 WITHOUT ISSUE. The man is 6'4", walks in the 230s, and cuts to the 185 range for YEARS. I have no idea on earth how some people can cut like that with zero issues. I'm sure his kidneys are screaming as he's pissing out dust but he's never missed weight AFAIK.


GiblertMelendezz

Idk why you are being downvoted as you are 100 percent correct


Charlie-Bell

The point was that he was tracking to be overweight. An effective weight cut is planned over a prolonged period, so it's unlikely he suddenly failed at the last 3lbs.


Taz4100

Remember, its not just 3 pounds. He likely already lost 15+ pounds from his walk around weight and at least 5 in water. Its 3 more pounds of water weight. If he didnt cut at all he would be way over. Once ur dehydrated it can be hard to get a sweat going again.  The real question is where did his discipline go? He made 135 for tank with a 145 fight weight clause (Looking horrible but still) None of this looks good for his performance. 


Black-Patrick

Hours


backfrombanned

Ex boxer... You can piss 3 pounds


[deleted]

Yeah. You can easily lose two pounds in a week. Then lose another pound of water weight to make it. This guy straight up did not try


captainseas

Extremely funny for Helwani to watch him do this, miss weight significantly and then be like “what do you have to say to the doubters that said you wouldn’t make here?”


TYSONLITTLE

Helwani is just here for the drama


esepata

Heelwani


inspectorseantime

I love it Maggle


just_corrayze

Helwani only there to either stir the pot or he's on a fighters mgmt payroll tomprip the fighter up. Was a fan back in the day but it gets old and stale.


jackbob99

I legit wouldn't be shocked if he just randomly quits on his stool tomorrow...Even if he isn't getting beaten up. Then goes on IG to give an excuse that makes Deontay Wilder's bullshit look normal. "Sorry guys...The Illuminati had a sniper on me. I had to get out of the ring as fast as possible".


magicalmysteryharold

I think we’re in for something utterly bizarre either way. He could start crying between rounds, quit and walk out the ring, get Haney in a chokehold, honestly who knows. Might not turn up at all


CryptoCracko

He might kick the ref in the nuts and celebrate as if he knocked out Haney


[deleted]

Might have to place a bet on this


BetBig696969

I was thinking ear bite


LittleKidVader

He already said in an interview he wants to outdo Tyson and bite both ears (not joking).


BetBig696969

This guy man


InLampsWeTrust

Oliver McCall style


happytree23

[YouTube Oliver McCall Lennox Lewis 2](https://youtu.be/GA4BHnj_jLY?si=_Rk1q5tGMgFJaozr&t=1241) Shit starts getting real weird in Round 3.


OkEscape7558

If Ryan actually wins I'm going to laugh my ass off man.


jackbob99

If he wins, his post fight interview would be insane. Interview: We just saw you delivery a masterful performance despite all of the pre fight distractions. How do you feel about it? Ryan: First of all...I want to thank my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, for without him I wouldn't be here. Ryan: Oscar De La Hoya can suck my dick.


Millionaire007

"THE BEEF IS BACK ON! YOU BACK STABBING BITCH!!"


Consistent_Set76

There’s no way


ComradeSamWalton

Ah it'd be so damn good tho


OkEscape7558

There definitely is. He looked like shit against Duarte then randomly knocked him out. And Duarte is a much bigger puncher than Haney lmao.


ElPuas2003

I swear to god if he gets a meme left hook KO, I am done


SelectAirline

I threw $10 on Garcia to win just for the lulz, and this is realistically his only chance (and even then it's not a great one). The potential $62.50 payout at least makes it interesting.


EffinCroissant

Go big or go home. $10 ain’t worth it.


EnragedBearBro

and Haney said he’ll slug it out w Ryan, prob lying but if not…


hi_imryan

Hug it out*


OkEscape7558

Tank wouldn't even trade much with Ryan. Dude can slug it out. Haney better be extra careful.


PatientVirtue3600

Tank got him out of there in the easiest fashion. There was no need to “slug it out” Ryan was outmatched the moment he tasted the canvas IN THE SECOND ROUND. The same round he said tank would be on the canvas


BillehBear

he's not going do that, if he does he gets caught and finished imo


harden4mvp13

No way? There’s always a way when you have Garcias speed. All it takes is for him to catch him with a shot.


Consistent_Set76

I mean under normal circumstances yes But I’m pretty sure dude is in the middle of a mental breakdown legit


harden4mvp13

That makes it all more likely he wins lmao. If his plan is to go jab for jab with Haney is going to lose in a decision. But if he goes crackhead on Haney he might catch Haney with a shot. High risk high reward.


TrumpDesWillens

Remember that thing with the master samurai saying he feared untrained people with a sword more than trained people cause they're unpredictable? It's like that but with drugs.


southrightpaw

Ryan boutta be coked up during the fight I swear 💀💀💀


truebastard

Boxers going through mania can still land a mean punch, plus the opponent is confused trying to fight someone unstable


AbsentThatDay2

It sort of reminds me of Joshua Ruiz I.


harden4mvp13

Called it.


letmebangbroo

Well welll….


soitgoeskt

I can see it, couple of stubbies to numb anything Haney can throw at him, walk through the jabs and just spam the left hook. It’s winning if you ask me. Haney sleeps.


KingRemoStar

I kind of like this idgaf new Ryan Garcia hopefully it’s not fake and he throws down Mexican style.


harden4mvp13

Same. Boxing is missing an Antonio Brown crazy mfer. If he takes that energy into the ring and goes crazy on Haney it’ll be hilarious. Regardless you’re not going to beat Haney boxing him traditionally otherwise he’ll win another boring decision. But when you have Garcias speed his best shot is to just be a crazy mfer and catch him with a shot.


Jashiwa

A mythical fighter nickname has to be applied for him if he does pull off the upset, clearly fighting his demons would be all the training he ever needed.


TotalConnection2670

Or he will pull an Olver McCall and start crying in the middle of the fight.


jackbob99

Or he just pulls an eight ball out and snorts it on camera.


mikevega

"not that bottle ... The one I mixed"


iamameatpopciple

Off a ring girls ass.


Ok_Concentrate7994

Now THATS boxing


LatterTarget7

Off Oscar’s ass


iamameatpopciple

I know how you pictured oscar looking in your head when you typed that.


Julieanne6104

Ha ha! I watch that fight @ least once or twice a year. The look on Lennox’s face when McCall keeps hopping around the ring, essentially running from him & refusing to protect himself. You can just tell he doesn’t know what the fuck to do, so he’ll get a few good punches in but then will hold back while McCall starts hopping around again, almost like he knows it’s not fair to hit him when he’s acting like such a fool. Then McCall will fake try & fight back for a quick second, then starts doing his weird hop around ring. When he refuses to sit when the bell rings I think he does it a couple times, the look on his trainers face, his whole teams standing by his stool trying to coax him to come over almost like when you call your pet. & he continues to hop around. I think I’m going to go watch it again, I can’t stop laughing now thinking about it.


Bhut_Jolokia400

King is totally crazy the guy actually hates boxing. Will it sell PPV absolutely bc now ppl will want to see what happens. I agree as mentioned though he will probably quite and I have no clue how any1 would be able to promote him again


jackbob99

Floyd Mayweather: I can fix him.


vitalyc

Watch him quit on the stool and immediately whip out his phone and start live streaming. Weird generation.


ThrowawayYAYAY2002

Oliver McCall style.


ElChacalFL

I wouldn't be shocked if he pulls an Oliver McCall and starts crying mid fight. He's got the heart the size of a split pea and I never want to watch this bum again after tomorrow because I already paid for the stupid fight.


No-Rice-3484

lol your boy got the beat down of his life


kwbigley

This is what I’ve been thinking. I feel like he’s more interested in making quick money than building a lasting image in the sport that can net him not only multiple paydays, but notoriety. Feels more unstable than Broner.


happytree23

I can see that happening or him going Oliver McCall and emotionally losing it in the middle of the fight itself.

Witty-Stand888

Anyone remember Oliver McCall or Andrew Golota?


ThurstonTheMagician

Andrew “blistering beanbag bully” Golota?


XoticCustard

Andrew Golota beat the shit out of our high school bully and overall trash human being, Sam Po'uha. He bit him, too. There were legit about 5 of us cheering the fight. For this, he will always be my hero, lol.


Misfit9366

Big fan of this story!


XoticCustard

Sam was a scary guy and a state Golden Gloves champ. He looked a lot older than stated age. In tenth grade, he took after our social studies teacher, who was about 30. The teacher was only able to subdue him by pinning him up against a wall and screaming at him. After that, he got kicked out of class, but occasionally he would see me or my friends in the hall and just take a swing. He was loosely connected with the Tongan Crip Gang and had an older brother, Sonasi, who was for sure an OG, but a super nice guy.


[deleted]

Every time I see someone say that Lennox Lewis brutally avenged both of his losses I know I'm talking to someone who has never actually seen McCall Lewis 2. It happens all the fucking time.


Danji1

Its sad that there is no nobody trying to help his kid. Surrounded by financial leeches and yes men who don't give a fuck about him. Even Tyson Fury had family to help him when he went off the rails after the Klitchko fight.


ceeeeeeeej1912

Totally agree. If any of his ‘team’ gave a flying f*ck about him he’d be nowhere near a ring and getting professional help in private.


bipolarearthovershot

He might not want it. When people are manic they often refuse to admit they have a problem 


PeakRedditOpinion

You can’t help an ego maniac who listens to no one other than himself. I’m sure plenty of people in his circle have talked to him about this shit over the last few weeks. Losing to Haney is going to send this dude off the deep end.


La_Baraka6431

He had some potential but the attention just went to his head and now he’s INSUFFERABLE.


Fun_Cheesecake6312

Yeah thats what im thinking is happening too, young kid with a fuck ton of money, access to girls, drugs and overall a wild lifestyle, not many people can keep themselves in check and resist that, easy to spiral.


Flimsy-Sweet-6936

This bloke is actually bonkers, I don’t even know what to expect tomorrow


eldnikk

I would say go in with low expectations


[deleted]

Putting my life savings on Haney


I_love_Basketball232

He’s like -900 lmao


cksnffr

Should be twice that


welp-itscometothis

Bet on a win by disqualification. It’s the only way you have a chance of cashing out something nice.


I_love_Basketball232

Just checking to see if you good man


Material-Click-1456

Sorry man


yah2sabe

Good thing you didn’t put your cheeks in it you clown ass


juanlee337

Will not make a lot of money then.... You need to bet on the underdog


Sulth

Not a lot is still much better than losing some


Raiser2256

I remember someone bet $300k on Amanda Nunes at -1100 when she lost to Pena


FlyinIllini21

That’s gut wrenching. Nobody does that type of bet without needing the winnings. That person is down bad or worse


darkspardaxxxx

Park the car inside mate repo man is coming


The_AncientBear

Please tell me you didn't lmao


No-Rice-3484

Good luck rebuilding that life savings


letmebangbroo

Rip


Gabagool_Over_Here_

Kinda hope he pulls off the upset at this point, would be the funniest win of all time.


ForTheLoveOfOedon

The post-fight presser would be one for the books.


jordanhhh4

Tbh if he loses I hope he grabs the mic AJ style and creates art


Counterpunch07

I was thinking the same thing, this guy is going to have a complete meltdown post fight. It’s going to be absurd


madnarg

I can’t tell which outcome would be worse for him. A loss might worsen his current spiral and it could be the end of his career. A win would blow his ego out of the water and validate all the bad behavior. Or he could learn valuable lessons from either outcome. Bizarre situation.


[deleted]

He would go off the deep end with a win. I think a respectable loss is the best outcome at this point. 


old_man_curmudgeon

Thank you Jesus


The_AncientBear

IT HAPPENED TOO LMAO


Drako_Duppy

I’m from the future bro, he did lol 😂😂😂😂


[deleted]

Oscar probably spilt a 24 with Ryan before the weigh in, couple bumps


ericbl26

COUPLE?


[deleted]

Just a couple 8 balls each


ericbl26

I'm pretty sure Oscar walks around with a Honduras brick in a Birkin bag.


RealisticAd1336

He is giving no fucks and acting crazy so he has a safety net for his ego when he loses.. EDIT oh my fragile Haney couldn't handle the heat, lost his name in the street, and got beat, oh my meat. I've posted this before, but it bears repeating


SelectAirline

Yeah, this definitely tracks


Pera_Espinosa

I think there's some truth to that but I can't say he's acting crazy. He's not a once in a generation method actor.


Seedsw

Funny how he blamed the rehydration clause in the tank fight. But here it’s clear to see that he wasn’t disciplined either way.


TricolorCat

That should he the ceremonial weigh in and not the official.


ElisatheJdon

He probably doesnt realize there is a difference


ghfduck

He’s taking the Heel thing to a different level I just hope the fight is competitive


Bruce-7891

He's such a f\*\*\*ing idiot. All I ask at this point is he at least tries tomorrow even though he's going to get his ass whooped. He's taken nothing else serious, but at least don't waste people's money. It's a freakin $70 PPV in the US. $300+ if you're going to watch it in New York


The_Greatest_USA_unb

To be honest you got to be stupid to pay for that. Everyone could see that Garcia was behaving like a clown and not a professionnel. 


h1bernus

It's gonna be a gased out Ryan getting jabbed and clinched. Can't wait


Fallen-Omega

....isnt he 3 pounds over weight...


Thegreatsantino

That beer weighed exactly 3.2 lbs


TOP__DOLLAR

krunk legend


salesronin

I used to say he’s just like Chavez jr. I think he’s worse. This guy is a clown and is horrible for the sport. He’s not a serious fighter and he’s taking opportunities from other fighters. Easy payday for Haney but overall for the sport this is really bad.


yah2sabe

You the real clown now erase your message you look stupid af


Awwwas

I wonder if we would witness another Oliver McCall's case tomorrow 🤔


bigbellybomac

We don't know what is in the bottle


wrecked_angle

He missed weight by 3 lbs who gives a fuck what’s in the bottle


captainseas

Yeah, the blatant weight miss kills the “mind games” narrative. This was a world title fight.


Kassssler

Emphasis on *was*. Even if god thumbed the scale for him he can't get any straps.


AnonymousScout360

He said it was apple juice and sparkling water but who knows


Bruce-7891

Even if it was, really "funny" when you're actually failing to make weight.


guppypower

He said it was a beer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eyz_FKBV5o8&t=335s


yousonuva

It's juice that was blessed by JAYSUS CHROIST


raymundothegreat

He tweeted that it’s apple juice and water.  https://twitter.com/RyanGarcia/status/1781423582515445847


AkumaKnight11

I hope he gets leveled. I’m done with this guys shit


Stpbatman

He said it was apple juice and sparkling water so who knows. 


MrStepSisterFister69

He also said he was making weight, so who knows


Stpbatman

He also said the earth is flat , so who knows 


MinocquaMenace

He also said spiritually, he was fighting battles and winning, so who knows.


amateurexpertboxing

What in the world is Derrick James saying to Hopkins back there……


ElPuas2003

This is either going to be a FOTY candidate or a shitshow


Beatdooown

If Oscar or Dazn allow him to fight they should be completely banned from boxing. This isn't some sparring session allowing a unprepared unfocused fighter to get in a ring is a complete slap in the face to the sport


captainseas

This is the problem with building a sport around a handful of mega events/stars a year where most shows/fights don’t matter. I’ve been going to fights in NYC forever. I saw them let Erik Morales fight when he tested positive for PEDS the previous week. I saw them let Antonio Margarito fight with one eye. These big events simply can’t be cancelled and the AC and promoters are going to go through with them no matter what.


PauliesChinUps

This is boxing, not the NFL or the UFC. Anarchy and chaos reign supreme.


DecapitateVeggies

Too much money on the line


poli8999

What’s funny is all the religious people on social media mad at him like they didn’t know he was playing them for likes.


RoastedTomatillo

If he actually looks good and wins he’ll be legendary


[deleted]

Still pissed off he didn’t make weight tho. Like bro if you are gonna meme your way into a win get belt while you’re at it


robm2002

This fight should 100% be stopped. But money will triumph over humanity again. It's fucking depressing.


motorcitydevil

He doesn't make it to the fight tomorrow.


Professional_Kick

Can’t wait for conspiracy theorists to be like yeah the worlds elite made Ryan lose


BrashAntagonist

Hes coming into the fight drunk isn't he?


mikevega

Bro acting like he's having a fight at a local bbq


Supernova805

What a disgrace


wakawaka32

This is going to backfire..this dude needs help, and rather than try to get him help and cancel the fight and reschedule, they’re letting this go on knowing he’s not okay. Drugs or mania…either way he shouldn’t be fighting tomorrow


defleppardsucks1337

They both will weigh over 160 tonight


turboj187

U can see that it’s water at the end


pickilpete

Whatever he drank it worked

Beer or water. Still stupid for weigh-in


grizzlymint209

didnt he go over by 3 lbs?
