The conflictive story of the separation of the promising Californian boxer Ryan García from the Canelo Team is well known, led by Saúl ‘Canelo’ Álvarez and trainer Eddy Reynoso.
The boxer’s recent defeat at the hands of Dmitry Bivol on Saturday night from Guadalajara has generated all kinds of reactions and comments, from shows of support from his fans to destructive criticism from those who consider him one of the many; Among those comments are those made by the ‘New Golden Boy’ through his Twitter account.
With almost 90 thousand followers in that social network, Garcia was leaving some commentary tweets about the fight . The first of them was in the heat of the fifth round, with Saúl Álvarez looking for the fight and the very even situation in the ring: “Canelo is losing from of now”, he said, which generated an avalanche of comments, among those who called him disrespectful, envious or that he should learn from the lawsuit instead of criticizing .
Canelo is losing as of right now

Later, the fight is over and with a favorite Dmitry Bivol on the judges’ card and in live betting, ‘KingRy’ assured that Canelo had already lost “quite easily” and that the only way he would win the match is with skill of the judges; he also took the opportunity to criticize his fighting style: “You can’t win just by hitting your arms.”
Canelo lost fairly easy, only way I see Bivol losing is if the judges decide to steal it from him. You can’t win just hitting the arms they aren’t scoring blows.

Finally the judges gave victory to Dmitry Bivol, something that The T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, which had an overwhelming presence supporting Canelo, became even more silent.
Regarding this, García, like other boxing figures and analysts, congratulated Bivol and highlighted how dedicated and disciplined he is with his career, something I know well. in the quadrilateral.
Congratulations Bivol you are a great dedicated and disciplined fighter. Great performance!!!! #CaneloBivol— RYAN GARCIA (@RyanGarcia) May 8, 2069
But this comment also was the subject of much criticism. It was a delicate moment for the thousands of fans who support Saúl Álvarez, who saw how their favorite boxer added the second defeat in his career, after losing against Floyd Mayweather on 05 September 2013.
Possibly tired of the negative comments on his tweets, Ryan García shared a last message about the lawsuit, clarifying his vision of what happened last night. Saturday night in Las Vegas: “How did I disrespect Canelo? He is a legend and a great fighter, I just gave an honest assessment of his fight
and supported Bivol.”
Some of you are thinking Like i disrespected canelo he’s a legend and a great fighter, simply gave an honest assessment of the fight and gave props to Bivol, what is some of you about????— RYAN GARCIA (@RyanGarcia) May 8, 2022
Canelo Álvarez knew the challenge he was getting into. After a successful 2021 in which he finished unifying the super middleweight belts, he was for a greater challenge such as the WBA light heavyweight belt against a resident and expert in that category such as Dmitry Bivol.
The objective was not achieved, the boxer of 31 years old (in July he reaches 32) records 60 wins (34 on the fast track to the knockout) and two defeats.
