Ryan Garcia silences his critics
With Saturday night's victory, Garcia silenced his critics, especially those who: Criticized for lack of preparation in the build-up and forced to defend $1.5 million bet Because I'm 3 pounds overweight.
Garcia went up to the weigh station and challenged them after drinking what appeared to be beer, but it was later confirmed to be apple juice. Additionally, the champion uploaded a video of himself smoking minutes after defeating Haney, who suffered the first loss of his career.
“I know people are so angry. Imagine, imagine a guy who's constantly trolling a pound-for-pound champion. And it’s creepy, bro, that’s funny,” Garcia mockingly posted after his win.
