Ryan Garcia is probably mentally ill but it's entertaining nonetheless


And why not? :lol:

Can anyone say that here without getting banned? Asking for a friend.

Interesting analysis of Pereira's KO of Hill. The Pinky Punch!

So……

Did nobody else see Ryan Garcia put on a masterclass performance vs Haney? I can’t believe I’m saying this but they didn’t even look like they’re on the same level of skill

He knocked him down multiple times and busted his mouth open. Garcia is a nut job but he can fight his ass off and had some real power behind those shots while Haney had nothing. Craziest sh*t I've seen in a minute.

If Garcia didn't inexplicably miss weight he would have taken the belt.

Now I’m wondering just how good Tank is because he made Ryan look silly with his speed and work to the body

I couldn't believe my eyes. Ryan really may have been playing crazy the whole time. I think the fact he missed weight by three pounds and didn't have a rehydration clause is a bigger deal than anything else...that and Tank Davis is just THAT good.

I tuned into BKFC for Ben Rothwell and Mike Perry...their fights were both over in a couple minutes. But Alfredo Angulo, a boxer who I remember seeing on HBO After Dark back in the day, made up for it with that epic one-round war. Dude survived blatant hair grabbing.

It's par for the course too, Angulo was always tough as nails with a high work rate. He was pretty well-built for BKFC.

The hair grabbing was unconscionable, is that allowed in bare knuckle fights or is the ref just a moron?

So Canelo fights this weekend and Oscar De La Hoya took an opportunity to talk sh*t about Saul to his face:

Read on Twitter


My Spanish ain't what it used to be, but I know that Canelo just cussed Oscar to his soul :lol:

Now peep, I dont condone what Canelo called Oscar at all, Oscar's sexuality is none of my business, but hearing him go off like that is funny as hell

Yeah, that beef is crazy. De La Hoya's boy seems way bigger than Canelo too. That fight's not exactly the cakewalk people might assume.

We also get a decent couple of UFC fights this weekend. Jose Aldo returns to the UFC, and he's fighting a killer up-and-comer; then Alexandre Pantoja fights Steve Erceg for the 125 lbs title that's low-key given us some of the best title fights of the past few years.

Aldo coming back had me scratching my head. What does he hope to achieve from this other than sustain additional brain damage at his age? I love the fighter but he took a lot of punishment on his way to his first retirement.

It's either he needs the money or he just wants to fight. :lol: Aldo always seemed like he wasn't all there to me mentally so I wouldn't be surprised if he just wants to throw hands

I have this feeling that UFC 301 is tonight. Just a hunch. Normally we'd see a preview from our Fearless Leader. He must be busy hanging with CP and Ashely Nicole Moss at KFTV to be bothered with us minions here. :lol:
