The overwhelming mantra of the media in attendance in Carson, California Saturday night which included yours truly went as follows, and I quote, “I wish I would have gone to Las Vegas.”

The reason was simple. The entire card in Carson basically fell apart at the seams days before the scheduled event. The fights that were salvaged were far from stellar. In the meantime the “Sin City” card was full of thrills and spills o’plenty.

You have to wonder if Ryan Garcia is regretting not taking the last minute replacement fight with Romero Duno now. Duno was far from the fighter who destroyed “Chimpa” a while back. Had Garcia taken on the Duno we saw Saturday night he might have had a chance to eek out a victory. But as we know Garcia didn’t want to risk it. That may have been a poor decision on his, or someone’s part.

That being said, that shirt Duno was sporting after the fight was pretty darn sweet. I need to find out how to order a couple of those.

On the undercard Maricela Cornejo got her rematch against Franchon Crews Dezurn. The question here is, why?

Jaime Munguia beat some guy who had no business being in the ring.

I repeat, “I wish I would have gone to Las Vegas.”

Spin it any way your little Instagram follower heart desires, Ryan Garcia is not ready for a challenge of any kind. After his fight with the never before heard of Avery (Hits Like A) Sparrow fell apart Garcia was offered up Romero Duno. Garcia has been barking how badly he wants that fight but quickly took a pass on the fight that could have easily been made.

In a last minute attempt to salvage the card that is falling apart at the seams Garcia was offered up another quality fighter in Petr Petrov. It should come as a shock to no one that Garcia quickly turned down that fight as well.

In a world full of Social Media Superstars Ryan Garcia is an undisputed Champion. Inside the ring Garcia is nothing more than an over protected wanna be. In Ryan’s world he belongs to be billed alongside real boxing champions and claims he is holding out to be a part of the huge Canelo vs. Kovalev card next month. That’s hysterical.

It’s this reporters opinion that up until now Garcia has not proved he is a worthy contender.

A boxing insider and industry source said of Garcia after hearing the latest news stated, ” I have zero respect for this kid, it wouldn’t surprise me if his November fight does not happen as well!”
