The clause on the limit on weight gain on the day of the fight should, in theory, play into the hands Gervonte Davis (28-0, 26 KOs) in his Saturday match with Ryan Garcia (23-0, 19 KOs), but the latter's coach doesn't seem to care.
Joe Goossen claims that almost half a day, which will be the last weight measurement before the fight, is the right time to return to your fighting weight. "King Rai" can also count on the help of a personal chef.
“The 10 pound limit the next day is not a big deal, and from 10:01 Ryan will be able to eat and drink as much as he wants. If the fight is at 8 pm, we have ten to eleven hours. During this time, you can get two full meals. Although I don't always recommend eating a lot on fight day," Goossen said.
“It's not a problem, I assure you. Ryan eats enough, he doesn't skip meals. He has a personal chef, Carlos, he's great. He prepares proper, healthy and fresh meals for everyone. Ryan eats every day and is very disciplined. When we spar, most boxers prefer to rinse their mouth. Ryan doesn't even do that after six rounds," the 69-year-old coach added.
