Ryan Garcia told he "quit" in knockout defeat to bitter rival Gervonta Davis

Former world champion Carl Frampton believes Ryan Garcia took the easy way out in his knockout loss to Gervonta Davis.

Davis stopped Garcia with a body shot in the seventh round of their highly-anticipated grudge fight last weekend. 'Tank' had dropped Garcia in the second round with a big left hand and the knockout artist kept his unbeaten record intact with the impressive win. But Frampton thinks Garcia could have got up before the 10 count but made the decision to quit whilst he was down on the canvas.

“He did get up. He got up as soon as it got to 10, 11, he was up, he was on his feet. He made a conscious decision that, ‘I don’t want any more of this,’ and I understand — he may have been in a bit of pain, but it was just, I didn’t like it. I didn’t like how he quit. He quit, that’s the top and bottom," Frampton said on The MMA Hour.
