Alright, so the other day I was watching some boxing highlights, and this question popped into my head: Is Ryan Garcia a southpaw? I mean, I’ve seen him fight a bunch of times, but I couldn’t quite remember if he’s a lefty or not. So, I decided to do a little digging.
First, I went straight to watching some of his fights. I started with the Luke Campbell fight. While watching, I noticed something interesting. He was switching stances. Not like, all the time, but enough to make me go, “Huh, that’s odd.” Then, I jumped over to the Gervonta Davis fight. Same thing! This guy’s like a chameleon in the ring, changing things up on the fly.
Then I recall that I have read about the fight between Danny Garcia and Ivan Redkach before. It says both of them are southpaws and something about the reason why Garcia chose Redkach for his opponent. I realized that the reason is not important, what’s important is that both of them are southpaws, so this rules out the possibility that Ryan Garcia is a southpaw.
Next, I went on some boxing forums and fan pages. I found some interesting comments. Some folks were saying he’s a “weird” boxer because he switches stances so much, but they were saying he mainly fights orthodox. Others were pointing out that he has a height and reach advantage in some fights, which, you know, doesn’t really have anything to do with being a southpaw, but it was still interesting to read.
Then I looked up some articles about his upcoming fight with Gervonta Davis. They’re calling it a big deal, these two undefeated fighters going head-to-head. I saw someone mention that “Tank” Davis is a southpaw.
So, after all this “research,” here’s what I figured out:
- Ryan Garcia mainly fights orthodox.
- He does switch to southpaw sometimes, which can be confusing for his opponents.
- Gervonta “Tank” Davis, one of his big rivals, is a confirmed southpaw.
So, there you have it. Ryan Garcia is primarily an orthodox fighter who likes to mix it up and keep his opponents guessing. Mystery solved! At least for me. And that’s all about my little adventure about Ryan Garcia today.
