ESPN2 Ryan Garcia v Jayson Velez - O'Sullivan v Abreu

[Spicoli]

Garcia Velez up next. That's if they're finished talking about his Instagram and FB followers.

[Spicoli]

Velez better not get sucked up in this production. Looks asleep before the bell! I can see two complete different scenarios...Garcia blows him out with speed or Velez takes him to school after early damage.

[Spicoli]

Velez has distance closed and initiating exchanges, Garcia has a bad look when he backs and covers up. Very nervous head high mouth open. Velez round.

[Spicoli]

Best burst by Garcia mid 2nd but mainly singles. Nice 3 punch combo and Velez stumbles end of round. Velez leaning and lurching wide more. 1-1 even up.

[Spicoli]

Best hope for Velez is stepping in with left hook keep is close, Garcia backs straight and waits there. On the very end Garcia is catching him constantly. Velez shook last minute of 3rd and looks out of sorts.

[Spicoli]

Was he really working at a fast food chicken joint before Lopez win? Man that's rough. Better mobility by Garcia and doesn't always cut loose with openings. Velez legs looking very heavy lunging in. 3-1 Garcia

[Spicoli]

Garcia has some poise as he goes, nice straight shots have Velez stepping off curbs that aren't there. Single uppercuts off ropes. 4-1 Garcia

Wait until his little brother "Sugar Rush" turns 18 in October and signs with GBP. They were just practicing with Kingry.

Definitely has some skill but has some flaws to iron out. This was a nice learning fight for him.

Garcia doesn’t seem to have enough offensive attack to be an elite fighter. He counters well but has problems with setting up his own offense. Again, I understand that he is young, but at this age you can generally tell about how good someone will be.

That's a good way to put it. He's mainly offensive off the counters and even when Velez was reeling he sat back and only fought in spurts. I worry most with the way they seem determined to push the whole 'social media sensation' bs and fill his head with all this superficial be the next Oscar stuff. When's the last time announce teams focused on Instagram and FB stats . Charisma is great but fundamentals and a level head are far better investments.

[Alpha]

Robert Diaz of GBP saying that Garcia is not ready for a title shot, saying may wait until he's 21 and more developed with added experience before a title run. Makes sense, lets see if that's true.

i figured out what his punching looks like. he throws punches like a guy playing air hockey.
