Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs) told 6’0″ kickboxer Anpo that he’s going to knock him out. He didn’t like the way the Anpo went all out in his exhibition match against 45-year-old Manny Pacquiao on July 28th.

“I beat up a pound-for-pound champion, and you are not at that level. You’re gonna get a whupping. You’re not good, you’re just big. I’m gonna knock you out in front of the world. You may think this is Hollywood, but this is for real. You’re gonna see who the ‘King’ is,” said Ryan Garcia.

“He’s gonna be the bigger man in that ring. We had to give him something to give him hope. We’re going to adjust and ultimately my skills are going to put me over the top. He’s training like this is a world title fight, so we can’t take this lightly.
