Video – Ryan Garcia escorted out of arena after seeing his brother TKO’d in boxing fight
Ryan Garcia was escorted out of the Honda Center in Anaheim immediately following his little brother’s knockout loss.
Sean Garcia, the 23-year-old sibling of ‘King Ryan,’ returned to the ring on Saturday night for a scrap with Amado Vargas, the son of boxing icon Fernando Vargas. In what was one of the more thrilling fights of the night, the previously undefeated Garcia gave it everything he had but was unable to overcome the onslaught of offense from Vargas.
46 seconds into round six, the referee had seen enough, bringing a stop to the bout and awarding Vargas the victory via TKO. He is now 11-0 in his pro boxing career.
In his brother’s corner for the fight, Ryan Garcia was seen being escorted out of the arena after he appeared to share words with some fans seated ringside.
