De La Jolla: Ryan Garcia needs 2025 off after Lori’s loss

Oscar de la Jolla says Ryan Garcia wants to take off the rest of 2025 after losing to Rolando Rory Romero on May 2nd. Golden Boy promoter Dela Joya hopes Garcia (24-2, 20 KOs) to heal and get the injury.His heart is straightBefore returning to 2026.

Inactive: Garcia’s risk?

The problem with Garcia at 26 is taking the rest of the year off. When he fought Rory, he had already taken action for 13 months. He was suspended for a year by the New York State Athletics Board after his victory over Devin Haney on April 20, 2024, with a positive PED test.

Another year off isn’t a good move for a young fighter like Garcia. He would have missed too many actions to get back the form he had before. But if Ryan’s focus is on the money fight, it won’t hurt him seriously to sit down until 2026.

The way Garcia played against Romero has his career downhill, whether he’s still active or not. Ryan is not going to take down the top fighter jets on either the 140 or the 147. If Garcia chooses to fight again this year, he will need to take the confidence builder next.

“I want Ryan (Garcia) to have a year-round break and be more straightforward and comfortable in a comfortable place,” Oscar de la Jolla said. Shawn Zittel I want Ryan Garcia to take off the rest of 2025 after losing to Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero on May 2nd.

Overriding Defeat: Garcia’s Needs

For Garcia, leaving the ring for another year would be bad. He has a lot of time Stew of his defeat Rory plays it in his mind every day and is tortured by memories. It would be better if Garcia came back and won. I’ll overwrite it The image of defeat in his heart. When fighters fail, the worst thing they can do is sit inactive for a long period of time.

“He’s not lost anything. He’s got hurt and we have to fix them,” De La Joya said. “But more importantly, I think he has to sort out his life because I was living it and I’m sure everyone is pulling him left and right, including his family.”

There’s something “lost” for Garcia by sitting inertly for the rest of the year. His confidence remains low and he may never regain what he has lost from all inactivity. If he had already had a long career like Terrence Crawford, he would not hurt him if he was inactive.

“There’s nothing wrong with that, but you have to be able to take a deep breath, take a step back, reassess your life and sort it out again. This is my opinion. I hope he takes that year off.”

Hoya’s past vs Garcia’s

It’s easy for de la Joya to say Garcia will take a break for the rest of the year. That’s not his career. We know that Oscar didn’t do that when he was Ryan’s age. When he was 26 years oldHe fought these three fighters in 1999:

Ike Quartey
Oba Carr
Felix Trinidad

“I mean, I hate him being the seventh fighter to be populated,” De La Joya said when asked if Ryan Garcia would like to join trainer Eddie Reynoso.
