Think I needed to watch the Ring 6 PPV in order to crank out 2,300 words on last weekend’s boxing action? Think again.

This was a tricky topic to address, but I felt compelled to try after I found myself infuriated by Ryan Garcia's behavior toward Joe Goossen at last week's press conference. (With an assist from a professional in Alex Williams.)
