  • excellent.. look,,, a date and a location, and even a network to see it……
    others please take note 🙂

  • Duarte definitely does have legit power and that’s a pretty good fight for Garcia, especially coming off a stoppage loss .

  • Oscar Duarte is the type of fighter that Ryan Garcia needs to look good and gain some confidence after his loss to Gervonta Davis. Duarte’s record is more or less a padded one full of limited opposition, and Garcia is a huge step up in competition for him. As a fighter, Duarte seems to have decent punching power with a permeable defense and not much of a good footwork, making him an easy opponent for Garcia that shouldn’t last more than 4 rounds.

    • Part Fact, Garcia no longer competes at 135, however, Garcia stands a good chance of winning a title at 140, hopefully he learned from the rehydration debacle.

      • So “rehydration” is why he didn’t win. How about inactivity? He should have fought in January when Tank fought to give himself a better chance.

    • If Rolly has a title at 140, I’d say Garcia can too. Garcia is better than Rolly.

    • He’s too big for 135 and he’s still maturing. 140 at the very least.

  • You are right, Rolando; he can win a title at 140. I forgot bum ass Rolly Romero was gifted a title…I stand corrected.

      • He fought a one-handed Tank and hasn’t done anything significant since. Cruz looked horrible in his last outing.

        • Well I’m not talking about Cruz career I’m talking how Cruz make tank his bitch , tank ran like the whole night

          Cruz is nobody and keke look bad yo biggest star in boxing

  • Given that he gave up last fight, should be showing this fight for free like abc or something. Ha. Ha.

  • Good. Stay busy fight without being a stay busy fight. Duarte can test your chin more than once if Ryan is not careful. He just needs to keep a tight lid on his training camp.

  • Wow so García still trying to fight lightweights. How can you be ranked at 140lbs and not even fight anyone at 140 to deserve to be ranked at 140?

  • Tank exposed Garcia as vastly overrated and overhyped. He needs to fight more often against better opposition to prove he’s legitimate. It’s certainly going to take more than just one or two fights per year and a pretty boy persona. I’d like to see him in against Teofimo Lopez or Rolando Romero.

  • Given Ryan’s history this is potentially a toss-up fight with guaranteed fireworks. Someone will be KO’d. I can’t wait to see what Ryan has learned under Derrick James. I hope he’s one win away from taking on Rolly. That is his best opportunity to get a world title.

    • Ive always thought that Ryan’s build and style would have been great to be tuned up at Kronk’s.

  • Been a tough period for team Derrick James. They went for greatness and took some losses, but they really need this win.
