But I can say this, you have two people in the ring with 8 or 10 ounce gloves, no head protection, tell me if that would be an exhibition or a real one, we are two real fighters. I’m not going to throw lies, and neither is he. You can call it what you want, but it will be a fight. I’ll throw punches like I want to knock out Pacquiao”, Expressed for the sports chain.
Ryan Garcia cautions that it doesn’t matter if it’s a show or a real fight, he will come out to throw punches and seek to knock out Manny Pacquiao. https://t.co/jVmTiqj0zq
