Ryan Garcia Seeks Manny Pacquiao Fight as December Bout Nears

Ryan Garcia, the flamboyant American boxer, has expressed strong interest in fighting Manny Pacquiao following Pacquiao's recent majority draw against Mario Barrios. Despite Rolando Romero being favored for a potential bout with Pacquiao due to his recent win over Garcia, Garcia believes his counterpunching style matches up well against Pacquiao and claims he would dominate and knock him out, emulating Juan Manuel Marquez's famous knockout of Pacquiao. Pacquiao, who returned from a four-year retirement, is reportedly planning to fight again by December, with his team considering various opponents including Romero, Gervonta Davis, and Garcia. Garcia has previously attended Pacquiao's exhibition bouts, adding fuel to speculation about a possible fight. Both fighters show eagerness for the matchup, with Garcia emphasizing that he is a different and more challenging opponent compared to Barrios. The bout remains a highly anticipated potential clash in the boxing world, pending formal negotiations.
