Oscar De La Hoya’s Reason For Absence After Ryan Garcia Loss

by

Oscar De La Hoya had to leave rather quickly in the aftermath of Ryan Garcia’s KO loss to Gervonta Davis on Saturday. Davis ended Garcia’s night in the seventh round. The final blow was a massive body shot that sent Garcia to one knee. Garcia was unable to answer the ten count of the referee. As the pain from the body shot was visibly impacting Garcia. However, fans soon noticed that De La Hoya was no longer in Garcia’s corner after the bout had finished. For De La Hoya, he had a good reason for leaving.

De La Hoya answered fans’ concerns about the Hall-of-Fame boxer on social media. “My security team told me ‘boss we gotta get the f*** out of here’ because I received death threats. You guys don’t know this, I received death threats throughout the whole week, and they just said it was simply too dangerous, so we got out of there.” It seems that the Golden Boy promoter had to leave for his own safety. The build-up for Davis and Garcia was bad blood and hurt feelings until the final bell rang.

Oscar De La Hoya Feared For His Life

De La Hoya also let fans know that business partner and former boxing champion Bernard Hopkins was also okay. Hopkins was banned from everything dealing with the match after a dust-up with Davis and his camp at the weigh-ins. According to De La Hoya, Davis’ camp had Hopkins banned with the claim that he was trying to rub steroid cream on Davis. Video of the incident quickly circulated around Twitter. The incident had many fans wondering if Hopkins was guilty of the bizarre accusations.

Whatever the case may be, the fight has come and gone. Garcia suffered his first professional loss. As Gervonta Davis has now moved his star to legendary status. While many fans are alluding to a potential rematch. But the seventh-round finish has others saying no immediate rematch is necessary. Thankfully Oscar De La Hoya is now safe and can discuss the death threat issue he had to deal with on Saturday. For the latest news in sports, keep it locked in right here with HNHH.

Kai Cenat Demands Adin Ross Pay Up $10K Over Gervonta Davis & Ryan Garcia Bet

by

The matchup between Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia was one of the most exciting and hyped boxing displays of the year, bringing in all corners of pop culture. Even Jay-Z popped up to narrate a promo video for Tank. However, when it comes to the world of streaming, this fight caused a potential conflict between two of its biggest stars. Kai Cenat recently clowned Adin Ross after Davis’ victory, demanding his $10K from a bet they made. Unfortunately for Cenat, it seems like he won’t budge on that cash anytime soon, as he feels “robbed.”

“Adin! I need my money!” the biggest Twitch streamer in the world exclaimed from his seats to the match. “I need my ten thousand Adin, I need it!” Then, in a video published by Ross, who himself is a massive streamer, he had some bad news for Kai. “Yo, Kai, I’m scamming you,” he said with a serious look on his face. “Come get your money back, bro, I don’t care. I’m mad as f**k. I got robbed. He didn’t really get knocked out, it was the craziest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. I’m scamming you, a hundred thousand percent. I’m not even joking, bro, you’re scammed. You got scammed, bro.”

Kai Cenat Won Bet With Adin Ross, And He Wants His $10K

After this exchange, it will be interesting to see how much of this is in-the-moment anger or legitimate dodging. Of course, Adin Ross is no stranger to controversy, especially when it comes to streaming. While he no longer works with Twitch, his blasted support of Andrew Tate and other actions led public favor towards him to sour. That being said, he recently opened up about his opioid addiction, which is a much larger obstacle to overcome and one that fans should show sympathy and concern for no matter his statements.

Meanwhile, Kai Cenat recently got banned on Twitch for reportedly “repeated explicit simulated sexual activity in GTA.” While this is probably just one visit too many to the game’s strip club, it’s merely temporary. Hopefully he makes his return soon. When he does, it’s almost a guarantee that he will address this in some fashion, whether from a pure boxing match perspective or to keep demanding his money from Adin. Regardless, log back into HNHH for the latest news on Ryan Garcia, Gervonta Davis, Adin Ross, and Kai Cenat.

Ryan Garcia Hopes For Future Rematch With Gervonta Davis

by

Gervonta Davis versus Ryan Garcia was billed as the fight of 2023. It was something of a unicorn – two undefeated fighters in their prime who fight exclusively on competing PPV networks. Davis, the WBA regular lightweight champion, was 28-0 before the fight and fights exclusively on DAZN. Garcia, a former interim champion in the same class, was 23-0 and fights exclusively on Showtime. But, to the delight of many, the two would face off in a non-title match in Vegas.

Titled It Doesn’t Get Better Than This, the fight pitted two brutal fighters against one another. The bout would end in a knockout, that was for certain, Davis is a knockout specialist, having finished 26 of 28 fights in that manner. Meanwhile, Garcia has become famous for his devastating left hook. The fight was massively hyped, with wild wagers, jaw-breaking promises, and a Jay-Z-narrated fight video.

Garcia Concedes Defeat But Promises Comeback

However, the fight was much more reserved than some fans may have expected. There were hard hits, yes, but both fighters fought strategically, waiting for the perfect time to strike. That moment came in the seventh round, as Davis found a chink in the armor and delivered a brutal liver shot. Garcia sunk to one knee and while Davis thought he was playing “mind games”, Garcia was eventually counted out. It was the second knockdown that Davis had delivered during the fight but it was the one Garcia couldn’t come back from.

Taking to Instagram after the fight, Garcia graciously accepted defeat. “Obviously I’m disappointed. I tried my best but he caught me with a good body shot.” Garcia began. However, he vowed that he was far from done. “I’ll come back stronger and yeah man, one day…wrack up a couple wins and maybe we could do a rematch at maybe 140, 147.” However, in separate interviews, Garcia said his immediate goal was to add weight and return to his traditional class of junior welterweight. “I plan to fight the best fighters at 140 [pounds],” Garcia told reporters. The fight contract does contain a rematch clause, but only a loss by Davis would have triggered an immediate rematch plan. However, Davis is currently due to be sentenced for his involvement in a 2020 hit-and-run that injured four people.

Jay-Z Narrates Fight Video Starring Gervonta Davis

One of the most anticipated boxing matches of the year went down in spectacular fashion, especially after one of the hip-hop GOATs laid down some words concerning it. Moreover, Gervonta Davis knocked out “King” Ryan Garcia with a body shot on Saturday night (April 22) in Las Vegas, Nevada. Not only does this bring Davis’ record to 29 and 0, but it marked Garcia’s first loss. Afterwards, Jay-Z narrated the Tank’s video package, shot by Tahliq for GTD Promo/Victor Victor. The inspiring and motivational clip sees Hov spitting the aspirational and powerful words he built an empire with.

“Everything in life is for your greatest good,” the New York legend remarked in the clip. “No matter how difficult it seemed at the time, everything is for your greatest good. It’s just teaching you discipline so you can receive your blessing. See, I’m from the bottom, from the mud. Don’t matter if you from Brooklyn, from Baltimore. All that matters is that you believe in yourself when no one else will. Any time you want something in life, you just gotta set your intention. Your intentions, your beliefs. You’re powerful.

“When you set your intentions, you believe that s**t with your soul, a hundred percent,” Jay-Z continued. “It’s gon’ happen for you. I promise. I’m saying that because I’m standing in front of you tonight, doing what I love to do in front of all these beautiful people ’cause I set my intention. ‘Cause I believed in myself. I came in the game saying ‘I’m gonna be the greatest of all time. I’m telling you, come. Watch how we get down.”

Of course, this match followed a lot of intense comments from one fighter to another, though now Davis’ words ring truer than Garcia’s threats. “All he talks about is that one punch,” the Tank remarked. “I only need one, too. I touch that jaw and I’m telling you: you’re going to sleep. I’m going to break your jaw, I promise you. Don’t even bring your mother or your daughter.” Regardless of the trash talk, it was an excellent match all around. “I am the face of boxing,” he stated post-victory. “I just saw Rihanna perform at the Super Bowl, and I was like ‘That was going to be me one day,’ and here we are.” Come back to HNHH for the latest on Gervonta Davis and Jay-Z.
