El invicto púgil californiano Ryan García noqueó el sábado en el séptimo asalto al británico Luke Campbell, adjudicándose el cetro interino peso Ligero del Consejo Mundial de Boxeo.
El peleador de raíces mexicanas se repuso de un derribo a la lona en el segundo round para extender su foja a 21-0 y 18 nocauts ante los ojos de su ídolo, Saúl "Canelo" Álvarez.
Su gran actuación hizo que en las redes sociales lo colmaran de elogios, desde personalidades del deporte hasta posibles futuros rivales.
Al final del pleito, García lanzó un reto a Gervonta Davis, quien fue uno de los que se expresó tras su triunfo.

Ryan Garcia tonight reminded me of when Spence went to London to fight Brooke. It wasn't his best overall performance, but you just knew in the end he wasn't leaving without the Title. Garcia had that same feel and look tonight. On a Mission. 👑👊 @KingRyanG #GarciaCampbell pic.twitter.com/JMTo524fAq

Luke Campbell told people in his locker room that Ryan Garcia is the hardest puncher he has ever faced. And that he was impressed with how well Garcia set up that KO shot.
