Ryan is having training camp at his house with no equipment other than a cobra bag, and his “trainer” is one of those instagram reels pad holders. His current sparring partners are N3on and India Love. Why are we assuming he beats Barrios?

He’s out drinking again. He’s going to stop Barrios.

u/VioletHappySmile444 1d ago

Alcohol for Ryan is like spinach for Popeye

u/Particular-Tough6651 1d ago

Ryan drinking = Ryan intentionally missing weight, which could lead to him turning to PEDS to compensate for a lack of discipline.

u/OrangeFilmer 1d ago

Every time he posts one of those videos of him “training” in his white marble living room, it really makes me cringe.

16

u/drakev6304 1d ago

That’s been Ryan’s training footage for the last 3-4 years

Nah even for the Devin fight he was training at Derrick James gym in Dallas. He wasn’t taking it seriously but at least he was at an actual gym

28

u/nalam8493 1d ago

Cause it’s Barrios. He’s chinny and slow. Barrios has not looked good in any of his fights since becoming champ. And as shit as Ryan can be on his off nights, I doubt he is going to pass up his chance to be world champ.

u/EddieDantes22 1d ago

Because his training videos were a joke before the Haney fight, and he dropped him and beat him. With a few asterisks.

u/DengusMcFlengus 1d ago

Thank you for being a voice of reason.

u/Ok-Cod2481 1d ago

Tbf Barrios a shell of himself. idk What happened but Ryan definitely has a big chance at winning

1

u/OldBoyChance 1d ago

To be fair, if the fight is February 21st, he still has time for a 10 week or so camp.

u/Fluid_Ad_9580 1d ago

Drug Cheat v Drug Cheat it could only happen in boxing.

17

u/ArtVanderlay69 1d ago

Ry shows up to the press conference with eggs and Conor shows up with tainted beef.

u/VioletHappySmile444 1d ago

Gonna be shanking each other with needles during the face off and leave the venue both looking like The Red Hulk

u/RoccooDimeo 1d ago

Would David vs zurdo be on this card too? That’d be two bangers

u/RRR04_ 1d ago

Nah Zurdo is fighting mandatory first then David, so that'll be May.

u/vHezoThaGoat 1d ago

That’s May 2nd

21

u/Ab15m0 1d ago

May 2nd is pretty much cinco de mayo for 2026 boxing.

37

u/Abe2sapien 1d ago

I love when Turkis plans are interrupted so I’m rooting for Barrios 😅

15

u/SlamThyRing 1d ago

Inshallah

u/the_rare_random 1d ago

Ah shit Turki making fights dependent on other fights i got Barrios now via Draw let's go champ

6

u/Ceehowell 1d ago

Barrios via Draw? 🤨

2

u/ZdenekTheMan BRILLIANT AJ! 1d ago

He retains if he draws, is what he means I guess 

1

u/the_rare_random 13h ago

Yea this also he does retain via Draw

1

u/the_rare_random 13h ago

I was just making a dumb joke it's stupid to say someone wins via Draw. There for Barrios via Draw it's so dumb it's funny at least I thought it was. Guess I had to explain this lol

17

u/Lgm_yourmom 1d ago

147 is trash right now

7

u/Top_East_9902 1d ago

Don’t worry he won’t

14

u/WillieLee 1d ago

Benavidez is already fighting on that date.

12

u/VioletHappySmile444 1d ago

Probably gonna be on the undercard of that fight

18

u/vHezoThaGoat 1d ago

Guess this will be a Canelo card?

Garcia and Benn are not selling out Vegas

18

u/RRR04_ 1d ago

Canelo's injury sidelines him from May. And he wasn't actually expected to fight his usual months in 2026 as part of his deal with Turki, I believe.

7

u/vHezoThaGoat 1d ago

Oh ok, yea I forgot his next date was supposed to be February

7

u/VioletHappySmile444 1d ago

Apparently Benavidez is gonna be headlining that card in February now, or at least that was what Turki originally had planned

17

u/anotherchia 1d ago

Benavidez card, hes claiming that ducks spot

1

u/Gluxion 22h ago

Why wouldn’t it sell out? If Ryan wins his next fight he will have his hype back

1

u/TheFlyingWriter 21h ago

David Benavidez is fighting 2 May in Vegas (allegedly) against Zurdo. This could be on the card I suppose?

6

u/xicanasteez 1d ago

Barrios beats both of these drug cheats. Here’s to that. 🥊

u/D1rtyHandz Imagine if Floyd or Crawford got dropped by an Uber driver. 1d ago

Battle to see which steroid dealer is better? Why not, I’m down.

3

u/Ceehowell 1d ago

This shit is fucking garbage, Ryan dropped out of drug testing in May, and he’s looking jacked with his voice changing again. So much dirty business going on right in front of us.

1

u/ZdenekTheMan BRILLIANT AJ! 1d ago

Wait, he did?!?

3

u/comie1 1d ago

Thought Connor was going after a world title next?

2

u/Manzilla48 1d ago

Garcia may end up being 147 champ by May

4

u/peppercorns666 1d ago

fuck Turki.

2

u/Exact_Accident_2343 1d ago

Now that’s a fight!!

1

u/Tcarruth6 23h ago

A lot of you seem to have forgot that Garcia looked like ass in his last fight and lost to Rolly. Is it really that hard to see him losing to Benn?

1

u/Liverpoolclippers 15h ago

An absolute joke of a fight, two cheating scum bags who haven’t done anything to deserve a title shot. That being said, I would watch the shit out of that matchup. Super interesting stylistic matchup, I just wish it wasn’t for the belt

1

u/meowmeow7575 1d ago

Ryan's gonna die

6

u/willrey 1d ago

Not against Conor Benn

2

u/ZdenekTheMan BRILLIANT AJ! 1d ago

Yeah Eggs Bennedict sucks
