Ryan Garcia was asked about his interest in fighting Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis after saying that he’d beat him on social media, and Garcia acknowledges that it’s a fight he’s looking forward to making going forward. Boots is just coming of a sixth round stoppage over Eimantas Stanionis to unify welterweight titles, and when asked about wanting a fight with Boots Garcia didn’t hesitate.
“100%. Another big fight, another mega event,” Garcia said. “It’s what I like to do so I don’t shy away from anybody willing to do that, too. He looked good (last weekend). I think Stanionis is a perfect fighter to look good for, obviously he’s there to get hit a lot, not a lot of defense, but Boots did what he had to do and he looked great doing it. I look forward to great competition in the future.
“He does (get hit with punches). I mean but he’s a big boy, though so he’s taken ‘em well so far but in this sport it only takes one good one.
“I’m much more snappier than Stanionis. I’m way more ferocious than that guy so it could be a lot (for him to handle). You never know in the ring. Some people can take good shots, some people can’t so you just have to see when you get in the ring.”
For now Garcia prepares for his upcoming May 2 fight against Rolando Romero, which will take place in Times Square, New York.
