Ryan Garcia is focusing on Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz and Sebastian Fundora as doable choices for his subsequent combat following his upset victory over Devin Haney final weekend.
A combat towards WBA mild welterweight champion Pitbull Cruz (26-2-1, 18 KOs) could be the simpler and extra logical combat to place collectively for Garcia (25-1, 20 KOs).
The 6’5 1/2″ WBO junior middleweight champion Fundora (21-1-1, 13 KOs) is out with out of motion on account of a nostril damage. When he does return to the ring, it’ll probably be towards Errol Spence or a rematch with Tim Tszyu.
Taking a Break
Ryan Garcia will reportedly take a relaxation for some time, and it’s unclear if he’ll combat once more till 2025. On social media, Ryan said that he made round $50 million in whole from his combat towards Haney, together with the $12 million he says he acquired from the $2 million guess that he made on himself.
Once you take a look at the large windfall that Ryan constructed from the Haney combat and add that to the $30 million fortune he got here into the combat with, his internet value is now near $100 million.
That’s an unlimited quantity of dough for a fighter who is simply 25 years previous and regarded the brand new ‘Face of Boxing.’ I don’t suppose that even Floyd Mayweather Jr. had $100 million when he was the identical age as Ryan, nevertheless it exhibits how the game has modified since Floyd’s period manner again within the Jurassic period.
Potential Matchups
Pitbull Cruz could be a giant combat for Ryan Garcia if the 2 might agree on a weight. The 5’4″ Cruz is actually a pumped-up light-weight, who’s tiny for the 140-lb division and could be freely giving a variety of measurement towards Ryan.
In Cruz’s final combat in March, he stopped WBA mild welterweight champion Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero within the eighth spherical in a one-sided mismatch. That was a formidable efficiency by Cruz, however he was going through what many boxing followers noticed as a textbook instance of a paper champion. Rolly was so terrible and clearly didn’t belong as a champion.
The lanky ‘Towering Inferno’ Fundora could be a troublesome combat for Ryan on account of his peak, attain, and excessive work fee. Ryan might need a tough time coping with the 80 to 100 punches Fundora throws every spherical, as he wouldn’t be capable of take relaxation breaks like he was throughout his match towards Haney.
