Ringside cameras captured hilarious moment Ryan Garcia lost $20,000 betting against Gervonta Davis
Ryan Garcia did not have the best of nights when he attended Gervonta Davis' win over Rolly Romero last year.
The social media sensation turned up at the Barclays Center in New York to watch his American lightweight rival from ringside, with an eye on a future fight against him which is now set for Saturday night.

As he arrived, Garcia realised that he was sat just one row behind unified welterweight world champion Errol Spence, and former two-weight world champion Danny Garcia (no relation).
Ringside cameras for Showtime's All Access documentary crew captured footage as he greeted the pair and began talking to them about the fight they had all come to see.
Upon sharing his contrasting views with Spence, the pair posted a video to social media together.
Danny Garcia filmed as they shook hands and agreed on a $20,000 bet on the outcome of the fight.
Spence backed Davis, while Ryan put his money on Romero.
Despite Romero being a sizeable underdog, Garcia took even-money odds with Spence.
This turned out to be a mistake in hindsight.
In the early rounds, Romero did have more success than many were anticipating.

Garcia gained faith as the man he backed utilised his range to box effectively against his shorter foe at times in the first five rounds.
In round six though, this all came crashing down.
Tank countered Romero with a beautiful left which floored him and left him unable to continue.

Showtime's All Access filmed the ringside reaction from Garcia and Spence, which was nothing short of hilarious.
Spence celebrated ecstatically as his friend scored the knockout.
Initially, Garcia reacted positively too, but then was quickly brought back to reality.
Spence spun around and gave him a telling look.
And Garcia reacted brilliantly, realising he had just lost $20,000 in an instant.
Thankfully he will make millions when he faces Davis himself on Saturday night.
