Let’s throw some Jabs the fight starts now all right Sergio after weeks of seemingly being focused on a fight against Devin Haney Ryan Garcia has pivoted again Garcia over the weekend tweeting out that he preferred a fight against Rolando Romero Romero of course a 140 PB title holder and Garcia has

Instructed his promoter Oscar De La Hoya to make that fight so Sergio will ask you this what is the better fight for Ryan Devin Haney or relly Romero Ry Romero because he’s not ready Ryan Garcia is not ready for Devon Haney right now Deon H has been active he’s

Been fighting the absolute best from Loman chenko at 135 for Undisputed all the way to 140 beating re progr one of the best at that Junior welterweight division so right now Ryan Garcia is not ready he’s been inactive he’s been bouncing from trainer the trainer you

Know he he came back nicely in this last win Got The Knockout so that’s good let’s keep keep that momentum going let’s keep those Knockouts flowing and uh of course we know that he’s still a big star so keep him in the linelight keep him active so I I like this fight

With roley Romero and another thing he picks up a strap I mean it’s a hubcap title at 140 but still you know a strap is a strap he can bring that to the table and and and bargain a better option for him as far as money you know

He can bring bring a world title to the uh negotiations so I I like to fight Ro Romero plus it’s a promotable fight Romero has a big mouth people like watching him you know the Press conferen is going to be great so Pro promotable and pick up a championship STP on the

Way let me just say this though it is not a hubcap title like Romero has the legitimate title who he beat for that title but it’s a legitimate belt who would he beat for the title it doesn’t matter a hubcap title a hubcap Title by defition who did he beat what Champion

Did roelly Romero beat for that for that so every vacant belt is every vacant belt is all of a sudden not worthy of being called the title is that what you’re saying I I don’t understand your in order to be a champion you got to beat a champion if you pick up vac

Strap that’s not true that so every Fighter’s ever won a vacant strap is not a real title that’s what you’re saying no it Romero has the legitimate WBA title at 140 pounds so if Ryan Garcia beats him he is going to be a legitimate title holder at 140 lbs all that being

Said I do agree with you and I have agree with you and I have been saying this for most of the last month that fighting Devin Haney in his next fight would have been a mistake because I don’t think Ryan Garcia had any chance of winning that fight against Devon

Haney look at where Devon Haney is right now Devin is a well-oiled machine at this moment he just came off a win over Regis PR grade that was about as lopsided as you could possibly get 12107 on all three scorecards he knocked down PR gry he is peing right now whereas

Ryan Garcia even though he knocked down Oscar dwarte there were plenty of issues that you could find with that performance most notably that Bizarro shoulder roll defense that Garcia employed in those middle rounds so you can certainly argue that even if it wasn’t Romero getting another fight with

Derek James would be better for Ryan Garcia in the long term going into a fight ultimately with Devin hay in Romero you get the best of Both Worlds you get an opponent that on paper is kind of tailor made for you yes ry’s dangerous he’s got power there’s no

Question about that but he also walks into a lot of shots I mean he walked right into that right hand from javante Davis a couple of years ago and we’ve seen him in the past expose his chin in ways that he shouldn’t and in ways that

Ryan Garcia is sure to take advantage of if they wind up fighting at some point in the spring and it’s it’s another chance it’s a chance to add a world title to your resume so you get another fight you get a chance to win a championship you get a chance to work

With your current trainer for one more fight there really to me is no downside or limited downside in taking this fight with roley Romero because if Ryan wins this fight and if say Devon hany wins the inim fight either at 140 or a catchweight close to 147 that fight

Between Haney and Garcia in the summer or early fall is going to be so much bigger so yeah I am all for Ryan going for Romero fight before challenging Devon Haney and you need to get different style matchups Chris manx that’s another thing Ryan Garcia not

Only has been inactive but he needs to get different looks you know he needs to get South Paws tall Fighters power punchers uh fast Fighters I mean if you look at the resume that Devin Haney’s been building I mean it’s it’s already kind of you know headed in one of the

Best uh directions that you can actually do for a champion I mean from from lonar to Jojo Diaz these are former Champions to LOM manchenko to cambos I mean wiping off the division at 135 going to 140 that’s impressive that’s what you want to keep doing you got a boxer you got a

Puncher you got a mover you got experience and all those names what does Ryan Garcia have you know Javier Fortuna that’s about it so he needs to continue getting the right opponents put in front of him to get that Championship experience he needs to get different style match ups different like I said

Different uh tall Fighters shorter Fighters Southpaw leanders everything that’s how you get accustomed to to to getting someone like Devon Haney in front of you Hane is not going to be the same animal that he was in his last FES he’s just he’s getting better and better he’s evolving into a

Different animals so yeah he he needs to get that experience under his belt in order to be ready for someone and a beast like Devon Amy the variable in all this Sergio is that Floyd Mayweather has now found his way into the orbit bit of Ryan Garcia we saw Mayweather and Garcia

Recently walking through a mall together going for a run together Floyd praising Ryan Garcia as one of the three biggest stars in all of boxing along with Canelo and tank Davis um is that a good thing for Ryan Garcia to have Floyd Mayweather around him in this way look Devin

Haney’s had Floyd Mayweather around him he’s had some of the absolute best boxers and trainers around him it works for Devon Haney because Devon Haney is that kind of sponge you know he he picks and selects little things that he can pick up from great you know from

Greatness I don’t think Ryan Garcia is is meant for that not for greatness but for picking up different things I just think he’s stuck in his ways he’s stuck in in what worked for him for so long quick lightning quick hands that check left hook that speed you know that

Speedy jab I don’t see him you know turn into a mover I don’t see him you know that shoulder roll was not for him we saw him so if he picks up different things and different intangibles from great trainers or great Fighters I just think it’s going to look awkward for him

You know Devon Haney can pick it up because he’s been doing it since he was a kid so he picks up what he he can actually work for him and then throw away the rest disregard the rest so it works for Haney I don’t think it’ll work

For Ryan Garcia I just think too many chefs in the kitchen and you know I hope you get that analogy inside his head he just not going work for him you know what I like about Garcia being around Mayweather is Mayweather was one of the most disciplined fighters in all of

Boxing during his time uh maybe the most disciplined guy in boxing right up there with like Andre Ward and some of these other guys that were singularly focused on becoming great that’s something that Ryan Garcia should try to absorb because we all know Ryan’s had some distraction outside the ring um Mayweather even

Though he had distractions in his life was always completely focused on his craft and completely focused on being the best version of himself at all times so if Ryan Garcia can pick that up great that’s going to be a net positive what I I haven’t liked in the aftermath of that

Video surfacing is you know we’ve seen Ryan kind of attack Devin Haney’s uh box office value so to speak he’s gone after Devon’s pay-per-view numbers in the uh the fight against Regis PR gry like don’t do that like that that’s it’s a little too soon in Ryan Garcia’s career

To be doing that yeah the fight against tank Davis did a terrific number no question about that the gate was excellent but it’s one fight you know Floyd Mayweather can do that and to a certain extent tank Davis can do that because they have been selling out venues and doing big numbers on

Pay-per-view for a long time Ryan Garcia hasn’t really done that as of yet he’s only been headlining one pay-per-view and that was with tank Davis so take in all the boxing Knowledge from Floyd Mayweather but the outside the ring stuff the approach that I’m bigger than my opponent because I’m more popular

Than my opponent that part of it Sergio I I don’t that doesn’t sit all that well with words of a Feather manx my mom used to have a saying tell me who you hang around with I’ll tell you the type of person you are so if you want to hang around with a

Great fighter like Floyd Mayweather yeah you want to absorb the greatness but you’re also going to absorb you know some of the bad habits you know bad habits like staying up late you know Mayweather is like one of these unique specimens where he could stay up

All night and train in the morning I don’t know any Fighters that can do that run at 5: in the morning uh uh well Sergio that’s because he doesn’t drink like he doesn’t drink I was about to get there he he doesn’t he can be around the NTI without drinking that that’s that’s

A now you you you you couldn’t do that obviously the majority cannot do that because that takes a a unique discipline for him not to touch alcohol to stay up late and still be able to be a championship fighter on the championship level and he does it night after night

Monday through Friday that’s Floyd Mayweather in the Las Vegas night night life I don’t think Ryan Garcia I don’t think any fighter can do that so I just think you pick the the good spots that you could pick up from Floyd Mayweather because there’s definitely a lot of bad

Spots and only he got a away from with it because he’s that great you know Mayweather was that great he can compartmentalize you know the the the good with the bad I don’t think Ryan Garcia could do that especially with the the you know the issues that he’s been

Having in his personal life as well I mean yeah you got to juggle a lot for a young [Applause] kid
