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

[Alpha]

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.

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.
