A short clip involving Ryan Garcia is reminiscent of one of those black-and-white videos of Muhammad Ali knocking out Sonny Liston on 25th May 1965. Despite the controversy surrounding the phantom punch, the fight remains among the speediest knockout in Heavyweight history. It takes about three to four rewinds to understand that Ryan Garcia’s left hook knocked the lights out of Javier Fortuna in the most amusing way.

Dominican Javier Fortuna met Ryan Garcia on 22nd July at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

The left-hook that nobody saw

The fight ended during the sixth round. A nanosecond left hook from Garcia, barely visible to the naked eye, left Fortuna stunned for a few seconds. The latter managed to stand straight, full guards on; however, the punch shook him so badly that he sat down to everyone’s utter disbelief. The entire sequence could be comparable to the aftershock post an earthquake.

Despite being a months-old clip, shell-shocked fans marveled at the jaw-dropper.

derekgtp,, while appreciating Garcia’s speed, could make out a few flaws in his techniques that needed immediate focus.

derekgtp – One of the best “punchers” I’ve ever seen – but he has a lot of other holes in his game that he hasn’t really improved upon. Huge potential, but he’s gotta work on his footwork, head movement, exits of the pocket, etc..

pnw_fishfinder, could soothsay the outcome of the bout on coming 15th April.

pnw_fishfinder – Bold production. Tank gets frustrated middle of round 2 because he can’t get his timing right. He then try’s to power through and In and boom check hook he’s done, KO.

kaiserfasian, displayed an understanding of the efforts put in by KingRy despite being outclassed by the likes of Devin Haney, Gervonta Davis, and George Kambosos Jr.

kaiserfasian – Will he get whooped by Tank? Probably, but the hate for Ryan Garcia is actually too much, like give credit where credit’s due. I swear many people said he’d lose to Fortuna. I don’t consider him a top flight lightweight with the likes of Haney, Loma, Teófimo, Kambosos, Tank, or even Cruz, but he doesn’t deserve all the hate.

Ryan Garcia refuses to have a tune-up fight

Twenty-four-year-old Ryan Garcia won the United States national championship fifteen times. For a boxer who started at age seven, his amateur record stood at a staggering two hundred and fifteen wins against fifteen losses.

KingRy’s record has been flawless since he turned pro in 2016. A knockout-to-win rate of 79% may not put him in the top tier, but it is enviable enough in proportion to the large pool of talented boxers his division produces.

The world anticipates a riveting match on 15th April when he takes on the formidable Gervonta Davis. Yet, despite the odds in favor of the latter, Ryan Garcia remains unflustered and expects an advantage in height and reach, married to lightning-fast punches that outweigh Tank’s brutal strength.

Gervonta, in the interim, will face Hector Luis Garcia on 7th January. Per unconfirmed reports, Ryan Garcia could follow suit and meet Filipino Mercito Gesta in the same month.
