Oscar de la Hoya says that he would like Ryan Garcia to pick up the rest of the 2025 after losing to Rolando “Rolly” Romero on May 2. Golden Boy de la Hoya promoter wants Garcia (24-2, 20 KO) to cure their damage and get “”His mind is basic“Before returning to 2026.
Inactivity: Risk for Garcia?
The problem with 26 -year -old Garcia, taking the rest of the free year, is that he was beyond action for 13 months when he fought Rolly. He was suspended for a year by Up-to-date York State Athletic Commission for positive testing on PED after victory over Devin Haney on April 20, 2024.
Taking the next year would not be a good move for a adolescent warrior, such as Garcia. He will miss too much action to regain the form he had before. However, if Ryan focuses only on the fight for money, it will not hurt him to sit down until 2026.
The way Garcia appeared against Romero, his career falls down, regardless of whether he stays vigorous. Ryan does not intend to beat the best fighters in 140 or 147, looking as he did. If Garcia decides to fight again this year, he must then take the trust designer.
“I would like to Ryan [Garcia] To take a whole year free, straighten the mind, comfortably when he feels good, ”Oscar de la Hoya said Sean Zittel That Ryan Garcia took the rest of 2025 after his losing to Rolando “Rolly” Romero on May 2.
Childbirth: Garcia is needed
Staying outside the ring for the next year would be harmful to Garcia. He would have a lot of time Goulash on failure Rolly, playing in his mind every day and torture of memories. It would be better if Garcia came back and win that he could prescribe Picture of failure in his mind. When the warrior fails, the worst thing they can do is sit inactive for a long time.
“There is nothing lost to him. He has injuries and must fix them,” said De la Hoya. “But more importantly, he must organize his life, because I am almost sure because I lived that everyone is tugging him to the left and right, including his family.”
There is something “lost” for Garcia, sitting inactive until the end of this year. His confidence will remain low and may never regain what he lost from all inactivity. If he had a long career, such as Terenka Crawford, he would not hurt him to be inactive.
“There is nothing wrong with it, but you must be able to take a deep breath, go back and evaluate your life again and all this again.
From the past of Hoyi vs. Garcia’s
De la Hoya is uncomplicated to say that Garcia takes the rest of the year. This is not his career. We know that Oscar did not do this when Ryan was age. When he was 26 years ancientHe fought these three warriors in 1999:
IKE QUARTEY Both Carr Felix Trinidad
“I mean that I would not like him to be a seventh warrior who was jumped,” said De la Hoya, asked if he would like Ryan Garcia to join coach Eddy Reynoso.
