Ryan Garcia can save boxing

    por Yamanaka: Ryan Garcia

    Chris Algieri is pleading with Ryan Garcia to become the face of boxing and save the sport after his win over Conor Benn on Saturday. Algieri says Garcia has everything it takes if he stays focused and disciplined, noting how excellent his performances against Barrios and Benn were. He highlights Garcia's old-school willingness to fight anyone and risk everything, calling him thrilling, exciting, and skilled at building fights. The way Garcia carries his attitude from press conferences into the ring matches his mean streak and knockout attempts. He brings huge value by attracting top opponents. Algieri thinks Garcia is getting more mature figuring out fame in his early 20s. If Garcia keeps this focus up, boxing will be in a good position for several years.

    Ryan has the world at his feet. Ryan is boxing at his feet. And I am pleading. Ryan, listen to me. Bro, be the face of boxing. You can save our sport. Literally. You've got everything. Just stay focused. Keep disciplined. Keep doing what you're doing. These last couple performances have been so good. He needs to keep this up. And he needs to keep fighting. And I also like the fact that he's got a couple losses. You know, he's a little bit old school. Ryan's willing to fight anybody obviously we've seen that so he's an old school in that way he's ready to risk everything and we need guys like that he's also just thrilling and exciting he builds a fight really well he's on the mic he's gotten really good his attitude that he carries from the press conference to the ring are equal which is sometimes hard to do and he goes out there and he fights and he fights and he's trying to knock you out. He's got a mean streak. He's good for boxing. And the guys that he can bring to our sport are a big deal. So I hope he is as focused as he seems these last two fights, Barrios and this fight. He looked spot on, right on the money. Hopefully we can keep that up. And I think he's getting more mature. He's getting older and he's figuring this whole out. So it's tough, man. It's tough being famous in your early 20s. I wasn't famous in my early 20s. It would have been tough. And he's had to deal with that for a long time. And I think his maturity is really starting to show itself. If he keeps this locked in, boxing is in a really good place for a couple of years because he can be that guy.
