JAKARTA - Javier Fortuna threw scathing words at Ryan Garcia, who canceled their fight in the past. The Dominican boxer questioned Garcia's attitude and insisted that the Mexican-American boxer had no mental problems at all.

Fortuna did not forget that fact and criticized the boxer who will be his opponent in the next few weeks. For him, mental health problems never existed.

"I don't think Ryan Garcia had a mental problem, nor did he suffer from it at the time," the Caribbean boxer said in a recent interview for Boxingscene.com.

She even went so far as to rebuke him again, "The same week he said he had the problem, I saw him with his girlfriend making jokes."
