Ryan Garcia Confirms Rib Injury Contributed to Loss Against Gervonta Davis

In a stunning revelation, new audio has emerged revealing that Ryan Garcia entered the ring against Gervonta Davis with a recovering rib injury. This shocking news sheds new light on Garcia’s loss to Davis in Las Vegas, which saw the undefeated boxers put their records on the line to determine American boxing’s biggest superstar.

In the second round of the bout, Garcia was swarming Davis with an eager onslaught of punches, only to be caught off guard by a short left hook that sent him to the canvas. The fight continued until the seventh round when another flurry of punches from Garcia was ended by a body shot from Davis, which caused Garcia to take a knee and ultimately accept the loss.

Many analysts have criticized Garcia’s ability to get back up and fight on, with some even suggesting that he “quit.” However, the new audio, which was revealed as part of the final chapter of Showtime’s All-Access series, sheds new light on the situation.

Microphones picked up trainer Joe Goossen asking Garcia if the final blow hit the injured part of his rib, to which Garcia responded affirmatively. Goossen then remarked that Garcia would have rather been hit on the chin, indicating the severity of the injury.

This new footage comes after one of Garcia’s sparring partners, Tsendbaatar Erdenebat, claimed on social media to have injured him during the lead-up to the fight. Erdenebat threw a body shot that ultimately landed Garcia in the hospital and caused him to be fired with half his promised pay. Erdenebat has been accused of being a “mole” in Garcia’s camp, feeding information to Davis’ side, though he denies this.

Despite the severity of his injury, Garcia has been humble in defeat and has avoided making excuses for the loss. He was forced to do so alone, as both Goossen and promoter Oscar De La Hoya skipped out on the press conference.

The post-fight footage reveals Garcia wincing in pain and ultimately taking a knee, unable to rise before the referee counted him out. This loss marks the first of Garcia’s career, and he has since announced his plans to leave the 135-pound division and begin competing at 140 pounds in the future.

As the boxing world processes this new information, many are left wondering what could have been if Garcia had been at full strength. Regardless, this fight will go down in history as a hard-fought battle between two undefeated boxing superstars, with Davis ultimately emerging victorious.
