Yes, I believe so too. The only remaining thing that needed by Ryan Garcia is to have defeat in-order to wake up from the harsh reality (which he got now) that he needs to wise up and man up because that left hook that he got that helped him to become what he is now will be nothing if he cannot hit the opponent with it. I mean, how could he hit them with it if he cannot even guard himself. At least he learned it on a much earlier stage and not when he's already hard enough to teach.
For sure this defeat wakes up Ryan Garcia that he is doing things the wrong way.
He should see how devastating to have weak boxing fundamental especially when matched to a skilled boxer. I also think that Ryan Garcia will be working his variety of punches and angles so that it won't be predictable like what he did in the last fight. I bet he wiill practice more calmness and avoid being over aggressive because it is a mistake that can cause him the fight.All in all, I think after this defeat, we will be seeing a better Ryan Garcia.
Hopefully that will be the case, even at a defeat, he will find some positive on it, watch the tape with his team, and see where it went wrong. But I do agree that he has a lot to improved because if he is going to face another great fighter that can punch, it will be another big L for him.
One downfall is that he did try to be over aggressive in this fight, even if he is not hitting Tank, he still continue to chase him. Even if he was caught with a knockdown punch, he goes on and fight and go for his best shot of left hook which didn't land solid on Tank.
Because he didn't used his own size advantage over Tank Garcia, instead he's the one who will reel Tank, he was the one who took the bait and chase Tank all the way up to the point where he over commits and found himself facing a punch that knocked him down in the 2nd round. I even thought that he will be more careful after that incident, but I was wrong because what he did is the very same thing until he faced his fate in the 7th round.
Hopefully he will be more wiser next time though and not be too confident just because he got a good KO ratio. He should learn a thing or two from this fight so that somehow he can be unpredictable next time.
Yes, that is certainly a lesson for Ryan Garcia and he will not surely forget because that was his first defeat. Also, I bet that almost everyone in his camp after the fight aren't that happy with the result because I strongly think Ryan Garcia didn't exactly do what is on their master plan because just like you guys said, I also don't think that chasing Tank was part of their plan instead of having Tank chasing Garcia because Tank surely cannot do something with his fist if he can't land it.
