If there was one thing Danny Garcia had learned in fighting Ivan Redkach, it is how a southpaw box.
Garcia dominated Redkach in a lopsided 12-round decision win and get an early insight if his fight against Manny Pacquiao would turn into reality.
“Well Manny is definitely in a southpaw stance but Manny has a certain type of style that is hard to train for so you got to go and make adjustments,” he said at the post-fight press conference.
“But definitely when you fight a southpaw it definitely gives you a look. Different ways and punches coming from a different angle so it definitely gives you the right look to fight another southpaw,” he added.
Pacquiao is on the top of Garcia’s list as well as the unified welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr.
But aside from learning the approach of a southpaw, Garcia had a rare experience inside the ring with Redkach. It was when the opponent bites Garcia in the neck area.
“I thought a mosquito got me,” the calm and smiling Garcia responded.
“Then I looked over and he\’s biting me. I think I\’m the second fighter in history to be bitten right?
Indeed he was. The first occurrence was when Mike Tyson bit and cut the ear of Evander Holyfield.
“Evander Holyfield and Danny Garcia put me in the history books,” the 31 years old Garcia added.

Two-weight world Mexican champ Luis Nery (35 wins – 1 loss – 0) mocked the undefeated “Japanese monster” Naoya Inoue (26 wins – 0 loss) as ordinary and overrated hyping their fight at Tokyo Dome in Japan May 6, 2024.

31-year old Inoue will defend his undisputed super bantamweight title against Nery.

29-year-old challenger Nery has the WBC and Ring magazine bantamweight titles plus the WBC super bantamweight title from 2020 to May 2021.

On the other hand, the undisputed Inoue who holds WBA and IBF titles plus WBC and WBO belts has never lost except a decision with Filipino ‘flash’ Nonito Donaire last 2011.

Francis Ngannou cries ‘deception’ vs Anthony Joshua camp

Former UFC fighter Francis Ngannou accused AJ camp of ‘trickery’ when he suffered devastating knockdowns in the first and second round last March 8, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The MMA fighter and former UFC heavyweight champion said that AJ camp sabotaged him by letting him go early in the arena.

“We both fought at 3am. What I think, something that’s happened is that they get me to the arena very early. Like my pickup time was 10.30pm to go to the arena. And then when we get to the arena, they tell us that we are scheduled around 1.45am. right?” Ngannou blurted.

He believed that he came exhausted, which resulted in his humiliating defeat.
