"Robert, I love you. But I have beat the s**t out of every fighter you have put in front of me. Sparring etc. No one from RGBA [Robert Garcia Boxing Academy] can beat me and you know it. I would murder the blind kid, [I] can't see how the f**k you think he will see the left."
Meanwhile, Vergil Ortiz Jr. secured a tough victory against Bohachuk, overcoming two knockdowns to win a majority decision. Despite the impressive win, the fight was closer than many expected.
Ryan Garcia quickly capitalized on the situation by taunting Ortiz and his coach on social media with a series of posts:
“For Robert Garcia to say I had no chance in beating Ortiz is comical 🤣🤣🤣”
"Rematch but don’t mention my name again"

"You aren’t on Canelo level"- Ryan Garcia disregards Terence Crawford
Ryan Garcia has thrown down the gauntlet, challenging undefeated champion Terence Crawford. In a recent social media post, Garcia dismissed Crawford's standing in the boxing world, claiming he is not on the same level as Canelo Alvarez.
Crawford, currently the undisputed champion in both the light welterweight and welterweight divisions, has recently added the WBA and WBO light middleweight titles to his impressive resume. The boxing world has been clamoring for a potential clash between Crawford and Alvarez, with many considering it a dream matchup.
However, Garcia has a different opinion. The young boxer believes Crawford is not worthy of facing Canelo and should fight him instead.
In an X post, he wrote:
"Crawford you aren’t on Canelo level. You are a great dedicated athlete. But you can’t compare to my self or canelo. Crazy little man relax keep robbing everyone while bringing in no money. Please fight me."
