‘He Could Go to Jail’: Ryan Garcia Threatens to Sue ESPN for Allowing Timothy Bradley to Keep His Job After ‘Zoo Animal’ Comparison

‘He Could Go to Jail’: Ryan Garcia Threatens to Sue ESPN for Allowing Timothy Bradley to Keep His Job After ‘Zoo Animal’ Comparison

Ryan Garcia he’s acting like a wounded animal now! Even though the PED scandal has cornered him, he won’t go down without a fight. He has been active on social media, taking on those who make fun of him for being caught with the banned substance Ostarine. A one-year suspension, sacrificing his fighting wallet and a victory against a long-time rival Devin Haney annulled – the penalties were a demoralizing experience. But that won’t be enough for former two-division champion Timothy Bradley. “It should be a two-year or lifetime ban. The only way to stop this shit is to nip it in the bud. “These boys need to be banned for life.” Bradley said in an interview.

But this isn’t the first time a boxing Hall of Famer has attacked Garcia. After the Victorville resident’s failed negotiations with Rolly Romero in February of this year, the ESPN analyst called him out “clown” who belonged to “Zoo”. Echoing this comment in his latest wave of attacks on Timothy, “KingRy” threatened to file a lawsuit against the broadcaster for allowing the former two-division champion to air his views. Moreover, Garcia made sure that “double standard” in Bradley’s digs was obvious to all.

Past transgressions will not be forgiven!

Garcia posted a series of tweets in response to Bradley’s latest comments regarding the NYSAC ruling regarding Garcia’s PED use. “The real villain and the real loser is Ryan Garcia…I only keep it 100. What do we do? Why are we praising this guy? Why?” Bradley said confidently.

Garcia, who is still on a mission to maintain his innocence, reacted sharply to Bradley, expressing a personal insult towards X, “He’s mad because his hair hasn’t grown back since third grade and his commentary skills are TRASH, CACA BRAIN.” “KingRy” posted on X, referring to Timothy’s baldness.

The 25-year-old boxer then posted a series of tweets in which he referenced Bradley “zoo animal” dig and threatened to sue ESPN for giving him a platform to express his views. Moreover, he pointed out “double standard” in his comments, stating that if the tables were turned and he made the comments, he would be considered a “racist.”

“Timothy Bradley said I belonged at the zoo. If I said it would be racist, the double standard is crazy.” Ryan wrote on X, continuing this: “Timothy Bradley works for espn and espn still lets him comment Sick job I can sue espn.”

Without ending his Twitter tirade, Garcia made one final slam of Bradley. “Timothy Bradley is so corny you have no idea, like it’s a bad thing, he could go to jail for sucking dick.” – he wrote, making a crazy accusation against the retired boxer.

The bad blood between Garcia and Timothy began long before the PED scandal and the “clown” mention. Earlier, Bradley called Garcia a quitter because he was unable to continue fighting Davis after eating a liver shot in the seventh round. But it is not everything. He also cast aspersions on Garcia’s boxing skills, stating that he did not have enough minerals to beat top boxers in the 140-pound weight class. It’s safe to say that Bradley and Garcia don’t have the best interpersonal dynamics.

So what does Bradley think Haney should do next after being dominated by Garcia on April 20?

A break from all the drama?

Haney announced on Twitter that he would be taking a two-year break from boxing. Well, going 12 rounds against a horny Garcia takes a toll on the body. Commenting on the matter, Bradley said: – Yes, he should take a long break. He should. The beating he suffered. Now it’s a mental thing.”

However, this will not stop Haney from taking further legal action against Garcia for causing massive damage to his reputation as a player. He claimed that the loss to Garcia, which has now been erased from history, had an impact on him “materially” AND “mentally”.

For comparison: Top Rank’s bid for Devin Haney’s upcoming fight against Sandor Martin was a paltry $2.42 million, and Haney would earn $1.53 million, which would be a significant cut from the Garcia fight and most of his previous fights.
