Garcia reportedly said afterwards: "I was drinking a nice a** beer, that s**t was fire."

Before the face-off between the two fighters took place, a massive brawl ensued.

Speaking about Garcia’s behaviour, Oscar De La Hoya said: “He's Ryan, he's unique. He's his own person, he does what he does. Everybody tells me, 'Can't you control him?' I'm not his babysitter, I'm not his manager, I'm his promoter - we put the events together. When Ryan tells me, 'I'm trolling,' I don't know if I should believe him or not.”
