All the affronts are behind them, as is the history they have in common the boxer Ryan Garcia and the YouTuber turned pugilist Jake Paul, after ‘KingRy’ signed the bitterest defeat of his career in the ring against Rolly Romero and cried his defeat in a van backstage in Times Square.
The disagreement between Garcia and Jake Paul
Yes, as you may recall, Jake Paul and ‘KingRy’ were once friends, and the ‘Problem Child’ even went so far as to train the Victorville, California native, but it all went down the drain when in one of his incomprehensible outbursts, Garcia took it out on the younger Paul brother by claiming that he could get in the ring with him, but “when he ran out of veterans”.
Garcia also told USA Today Sports that he does not understand Jake Paul and his role in the boxing world, calling him ‘illegitimate’: “I don’t know if he’s a boxer… He’s never fought in a ranked fight in his category. I don’t even know what his category is, I don’t know if he’s heavyweight, I don’t know. He’s cruiserweight, I think. So I can’t say he’s legitimate.”
Jake Paul’s blunt message
Jake Paul patiently waited for Ryan Garcia’s return function in Times Square to end to unleash his venom, a reply that in just three words had impressive power and impact, especially because he chose a picture of Garcia on the canvas, to illustrate it. The ‘problem child’ posted on his Instagram Stories the message “Irony always wins“, and did not need more to establish his position on a Ryan who had to let his mask of arrogance fall to recognize the superiority of his rival of the night.
Jake Paul, for his part, is working hard for his upcoming fight against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on June 28 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, and hopefully he will not suffer the same fate as Garcia, although in this case the humiliation would be worse, against a rival of almost 40 years and on the verge of retirement who left long ago and far behind his best version, something that also would not hurt a guy who has also made arrogance a signature.
