Ryan Garcia took to social media today to slam Terrence Crawford, saying he just wanted to “kick his ass” for no apparent reason. All I know is that Ryan would never speak like this to Boots Ennis. Just saying.
Ryan picked the right player because Crawford is in as much trouble as he can get in the game and can't just sit on the shelf forever until he's completely forgotten. Terrence hasn't been in the ring in a while, and he really wants to fight someone that fans have heard about.
A publicity stunt or a genuine challenge?
Some will argue that this is nothing more than a media ploy by Ryan to drum up interest in his bout next week on April 20th against WBC light welterweight champion Devin Haney.
If Ryan can pull off the upset of Haney, his popularity will skyrocket and he will become one of the biggest names in boxing. If that happens, Ryan could choose from anyone and might forget about Crawford and focus on some of the more talented fighters.
Terrence (40-0, 31 KOs) hasn't fought in nearly a year, but even if he returns from the Haney fight, he would jump at the chance to fight a popular fighter like Ryan (24-1, 20 KOs). . The fight offer is Crawford's golden ticket to another big payday, following his fight against Errol Spence a year ago.
Crawford has been waiting for a similar money fight to fall like gravity into his lap, but it hasn't happened and his situation is starting to look hopeless. He wanted to fight Canelo Alvarez, but the Mexican superstar had no interest in facing Canelo Alvarez. Because it's a lose-or-lose game again, and if you win, you won't be evaluated.
If Crawford agrees to fight Ryan, he would be only the second big name Crawford has faced in his 16-year career, as he has one of the most barren resumes of any popular fighter. Become.
Crawford doesn't have a choice.
Ryan's offer might not be as good as it could be for the 36-year-old Crawford. Because he'll never get the fight with Canelo, which he's been campaigning for, and he doesn't want the role of young shark Jaron “Boots” Ennis either. .
Crawford, a native of Nebraska, is riding high with his win over Errol Spence and is enjoying the praise from that win, showing little interest in returning to the ring.
I respect Crawford and what he has reached, but I want to kick his ass for a good cause.
let's go bitch
