Ryan Garcia names the fighter who hit him harder than Gervonta Davis and Rolly Romero

Published

on

Ryan Garcia has suffered professional defeats to both Gervonta Davis and Rolando Romero, but the Californian maintains that neither of those men have hit him the hardest thus far during his professional career.

Garcia has hit the deck on four occasions during his professional career, with two of those coming against Davis back in 2023, where he was dropped in rounds two and seven in what remains as the solitary stoppage defeat of his career.

Last year, Garcia was floored in round two again during an underwhelming and unsuccessful bid for Romero’s WBA welterweight world title – outboxed for the majority of the contest in an out-of-sorts display.

However, when discussing who hit him the hardest, following that defeat to Romero, Garcia recalled his 2021 triumph over Hull’s Luke Campbell, in a resurfaced press congerence clip captured by FightHype.

“I feel like the most that I have ever been dazed was with Luke Campbell. I was actually dizzy with Luke Campbell when I was getting up, but with Rolly’s [knockdown] I wasn’t dizzy. I was just like ‘oh well, there it goes again’.

“I don’t really get too out of it. Like, I am just always there. It is always a flash knockdown for some reason and I get right back up.”

Like Davis and Romero, Campbell is another man to have knocked Garcia down in the second round, with the London 2012 gold medallist coming close to a famous upset win when he collided with Garcia in Dallas.

Yet, on this occasion, Garcia showed the guts and guile to rally his way back into the contest, halting ‘Cool Hand’ in round seven to claim the WBC Interim lightweight title in a coming of age performance.

Wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson had his introductory press conference on Wednesday after joining the Tennessee Titans.

During this interview, quarterback Cam Ward crashed the press conference, which was held virtually. He questioned Robinson about his thoughts on playing alongside him on the Titans.

“Wandale, how excited are you to play with Cam Ward,” the Titans quarterback asked.

“My dog! I appreciate you,” Robinson said. “You know, I’m ready to play with you. That’s part of the reason I came.”

Wan’Dale Robinson began his NFL journey with the New York Giants. They drafted him with the 43rd overall pick in 2022. In four seasons, he recorded 2,465 yards on 268 receptions and nine touchdowns. However, the wide receiver failed to make the playoffs even once.

Last season, the Giants finished dead last in the NFC East with a 4-13 record. Robinson recorded 1,014 yards on 92 receptions and four touchdowns. Last Thursday, he finalized a four-year deal worth $78 million with the Titans.

This move reunites him with his former coach Brian Daboll. He coached the Giants from 2022 to 2025, but was fired midway through last season. In January, Titans new coach Robert Saleh hired him as the new offensive coordinator of the team.

Wan’Dale Robinson reveals what the Titans can expect from him in 2026

During his introductory press conference, Wan’Dale Robinson did not shy away from talking about his strengths. He also opened up about what to expect from him as he joins the Titans for a new journey.

“I think the biggest thing is toughness, and making impact plays,” Robinson said as per SI. “Just doing a lot of different things for an offense, being able to move the chess piece that can always line up in different places where defenses can’t exactly know what and when I’m going to do stuff.

“Obviously, they believed in me, and it’s great to have that feeling of being wanted. So obviously, you want to make them proud and make them feel like they made the right decision in choosing me. And for myself, I want to show I can have success here and help this thing get going on the right track.”

Last season, the Titans finished fourth in the AFC South with a 3-14 record. This resulted in the firing of coach Brian Callahan in October after a 1-5 start. In February, new Giants coach John Harbaugh hired him as the quarterbacks coach and pass game coordinator.
