“Man Had to Open One Eye and See”: Fans Capture Hilarious Detail in Ryan Garcia’s Pre-fight “Cry Collage”

In a shocking post, Ryan Garcia now revealed that he was in tears just moments prior to facing Devin Haney at Brooklyn. As Garcia had already promised to retire provided Haney knocked him out in the very first round of the fight, there was certainly a lot on the line for ‘KingRy’. Additionally, in light of his antics, boxing fans doubted Garcia’s mental health and favored Haney. On that note, before the bell rang at Barclays Center, Garcia was emotionally overwhelmed.

Anyway, with a group of violinists playing a symphony in his locker room, Garcia tried his best to contain himself before stepping inside the ring. In this connection, when Devin Haney’s cornerman Rodney Crisler visited Garcia’s locker room, he felt Garcia’s “aura was right” and that ‘KingRy’ was ready to display a memorable performance. However, little did Crisler know that Garcia “Had to let a cry out.”

Well, now that Devin Haney is defeated and dethroned, Ryan Garcia felt it was time he disclosed pictures of himself crying before the fight on April 20th. Likewise, taking to X, the 35-year-old uploaded some selfies he had clicked while still in the locker room before embarrassing ‘The Dream’. “The emotions before a huge fight don’t judge,” wrote Ryan Garcia. “Don’t meme me,” he added.
