“Until he admits that they f***** with my sh*t, or something there was going on, I’m never gonna fight him, I promise you,” Garcia told The Ring’s Mike Coppinger. “Unless he tells the truth, I won’t ever.” Ryan has provided no evidence that his samples were tampered with. His majority-decision win was changed to a no-contest, and the New York State Athletic Commission suspended him for one year after he tested positive for ostarine. None of that stops Garcia from treating the three knockdowns he scored against Haney as permanent ammunition. “It’s gonna eat you forever because that iconic picture…

Sebastian “Logan” Hernandez Reyes made quick work of Jose “El Tigre” Lopez on Saturday night, stopping him in the second round at the Recinto Ferial in Metepec, Mexico. Hernandez Reyes (21-1, 19 KOs) was fighting for the first time since a questionable 12-round unanimous decision defeat against Junto Nakatani last December in Riyadh. Many fans felt Hernandez Reyes had done enough to win that night, despite all three judges awarding the decision to Nakatani.
