There’s something weird about Garcia. He does not seem like a healthy guy mentally to me.

He looked like he had been drinking, pale face and sweaty. Face off was strange too, not saying anything, weird look in his eyes.
I feel it's 50/50 this fight will happen.

I agree, he looks a prime candidate to go off the rails or have a breakdown. He's openly admitted to drinking and smoking weed. I can't remember what interview it was but his arms were shaking when he was talking, odd behaviour.

They say If Ryan Garcia pulls out, Arnold Barboza would fight Haney on April 20th

Yeah man, he's a complete psycho

what a phony fight/ money grab from the gullible casuals.

Really ?!

It's the obvious number 1 boxer vs the obvious number 1 star boxer.
Garcia fights Tank then Haney - that's the absolute opposite of fleecing gullible casuals.

Always thought he just loves himself and has a massive ego, played the game perfectly tbf, he's been annoying me with his antics lately but just seen the video he recently dropped to assure everyone he's fine, he looks far from fine and I actually feel a bit sorry for him now, on top of that he's got that crackpot Oscar watching his back, he'll be doing everything in his power to get Garcia to fight

Garcia sure is acting a bit unusual.
Been through a lot lately, split from his Mrs and kids, had some mental issues, hooking up with a new chick, admitted to drinking and weed, some troubling social media- its all a bit concerning leading up to a major fight with a very live opponent he needs to be 100% prepared for.

I'm still hoping for a really great fight, but agree with the other posters about his recent behaviour.

Garcia is posting some really weird stuff on Twitter in the last few hours. Not sure if he’s been hacked, on a wind up or cracked up.

He has hooked up with Australian Only Fans superstar (*sick*) and seemingly melting down mentally.
Either that, or it's the dumbest pre fight mind game.

He's flipped

Ironic date they have chosen for this fight, given Ryan's recent revelations. Is he pandering to the stoners?

The fight is very uninteresting

Garcias breakdown is very interesting

Wow!
Well that's really disturbing, either way- if it's true, or if it's a mental breakdown - it's disturbing.
I'm thinking this fight ain't happening.

He’s smoked too much weed and got paranoid and delusional. Seen it happen to many young people over the years.

They should pull him out of the fight, he’s not mentally well.

Press Release | Arnold Barboza Jr To Face Sean McComb

Golden Boy has assembled a loaded lineup for the televised Haney vs. Garcia PPV undercard with boxing’s rising world title contenders. The main event features a bad-blood rivalry between undefeated, former undisputed lightweight champion and current WBC Super Lightweight Champion Devin “The Dream” Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) who will defend his title against international PPV star and world title contender “King” Ryan Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs). The 12-round fight is presented by Golden Boy Promotions in association with Haney Promotions, KingRy Promotions, and Matchroom Boxing. The mega-event will take place at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Saturday, April 20, exclusively live worldwide on DAZN PPV.

In chief support undefeated, top 8 super lightweight world title contender Arnold Barboza Jr. (29-0, 11 KOs) of El Monte, Calif. will fight for the WBO Intercontinental Title against Belfast, Ireland’s Sean “The Public Nuisance” McComb (18-1, 5 KOs). Barboza Jr. is coming off of an eighth-round knockout victory last January 2024 against Xolisani Ndongeni. The 10-round super lightweight fight will be the U.S. debut of the “Public Nuisance” who was last seen securing his WBO European Super Lightweight Title.

“Every training session and every trial and tribulation has paved the path for this moment,” said Arnold Barboza Jr. “I train like the challenger that I am but I fight like the Champion that I will become. Tune in April 20th on DAZN.”

“I’ve been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and now it’s here, I plan to grab it with both hands.” said Sean McComb. “Arnold is a great fighter - but so am I. It’s going to be a great fight. Thanks to Golden boy and my manager Lee Eaton for making it happen. April 20th I promise you’ll see the upset!”

Also on the DAZN PPV telecast, Bektemir “Bek” Melikuziev (13-1, 10 KOs) of Sholmbek, Uzbekistan will defend his WBA Intercontinental Super Middleweight Title in a 10-round fight against Pierre Dibombe (22-0-1, 12 KOs) of Nantes, France. Melikuziev destroyed Alantez Fox via stoppage last October, and is ranked the No.10 super middleweight in the world on ESPN’s divisional rankings.

In a fight for the WBA Interim Super Flyweight World Championship, John “Scrappy” Ramirez (13-0, 9 KOs) will challenge Cartago, Costa Rica’s David “Medallita” Jimenez (15-1, 11 KOs). Ramirez is walking into the 12-round combat with confidence after demolishing Ronal Batista last October 2023. Despite an unconventional start in boxing, the undefeated Scrappy Ramirez has had a successful cruise to the top of the rankings defeating top title contenders.

Opening the DAZN PPV, former Team USA member and No.1-WBC ranked Charles “Bad News” Conwell (18-0, 13 KOs) will make his Golden Boy debut after being formally signed this past February. He will battle it out against Nathaniel Gallimore (22-7-1, 17 KOs) of Des Plaines, Illinois in a 10-round super welterweight contest. The undefeated “Bad News” has held several regional titles since his debut in professional boxing in 2017, including the IBF USBA title and the WBC USNBC title.

All up, a good sounding card again. We are being spoilt this year.
Barboza vs McComb is going to be action. And if Garcia brings his best, the main event is decent.

Like Garcia by stoppage at 9:50-1

Boxing is a brutal business. I’m surprised this is going ahead considering Garcia was having a mental breakdown a couple of weeks ago

It's called promoting.
The constant spats between Oscar and Ryan got tired and annoying so now this lame garbage is what they do to keep people talking about Ryan and his next fight.

No undercard for this one? Nothing showing on BoxRec?
