Forget a stay-busy bout. Garcia says he's done 'f------ around' and coming for 'Tank.'
Ryan Garcia knew the blowback was coming.
From his fans, who were eager to see him return to the ring, even in a stay-busy fight against Mercito Gesta.
From Gervonta “Tank” Davis, Garcia’s next opponent, who used Garcia’s decision to pass on a tune-up as an opportunity to (baselessly) suggest Garcia was using performance enhancers.
From his own promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, who called Garcia’s decision to forego a fight with Gesta “a big mistake.”
Garcia knew. And he didn’t care.
