Unless Kingly will have another insecure emotional breakdown before the fight.
A tough man of Accra with little to lose and everything to gain!?! Someone in management mad at Garcia
Not quite. All of his fights have pretty much been in Ghana where the competition isn’t that great. However, the second Queenry steps it up and fights someone in the top ten he’s going to get knocked out cold. Out of the current crop at his weight hes without a doubt the weakest link.
I doubt it. I dont see garcia as the weakest link in that division. Maybe just mentally and mature wise but thats about it. A KO Could possibly happen with a Tank Davis but i doubt ur not talking about Haney or Kambosos. Pillow fist Haney cldnt KO an older Linares much less a younger Garcia with a good chin.
Garcia with good chin? He was lucky he got up and that Cambell didn’t went for the kill in that fight. And it was only an ok punch… he can’t beat any of the champions including Haney…. Anyone that can box and move around the ring would beat him.
“Lucky” doesnt have anything to do with getting up from a punch like that. Its called grit. Ur taking a bunch of credit away from Campbell. U obviously dont watch alot of boxing. Campbell is damn good AND hes destroyed quite a bit of guys with that ame punch.
“Pillow fist” or not Haney KO power doesn’t make one the strongest link. Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t Garcia avoid a fight with Linares while Haney stepped up to the plate and soundly outboxed him? If you’re talking Garcia, Lomachenko, Haney, Tank and Kambosos…. Garcia is definitely the weakest link out of the 5.
Let’s Go Ryan Garcia!!!! KO Timeee
All of this back and forth and the constant nauseated call outs and fight cancellations and this is who he fights?! This kid is a non factor in boxing! Point. Blank. Period.
Wake me up when he’s in a meaningful fight…..
He called out everybody on Instagram but now he’s fighting a guy nobody outside of Ghana ever heard of. Great move Kingcry.
another “safe” fight for superhype looks like the Ghanian has 45% KO ratio and against mainly his hometown people and wait wasnt Superhype quoted as saying …”nothing but big fights in 2022″ and whoever mentioned superhype having a good chin are you serious hes been rocked in many fights against opponents with barely any KO power if you guys have not seen then trend Oscar is carefully matching this kid knowing he will lose against the very first live dog against Tank forget it he will run until he gets put to sleep against Haney will be like watching a top notch ladies fight and Kambosos or Loma KO him in retirement hell Amanda Serrano will knock his ass out and hes still ducking Romero
I’d hear a lot of good stuff about Tagoe but then I finally saw him in against Mason Menard and I wasn’t impressed. He won a majority decision and he’s still the only guy to beat Menard by decision. He’d been off about a year and a half before that fight and it’ll be even longer before this one. And he’s 33. Not looking good for him but he’s credible to the organizations at least and his record looks nice until you look at who he’s actually fought.
I was hoping it would be someone at caliber of Jaiver Fortuna, Jorge Linares, or Masayoshi Nakatani. It all depends on how he looks hopefully we see him in a big fight in 2022.
Only wishing the best for this young fighter…..
Ok, thats good for boxing.
90+ days to get ready for a tune-up. hmmmm….
Correction, 100 days 🙂
I will believe it, when I see it.
Another boring opponent for a prospect to beat up, the Light Weight Division take no chances
Good opponent after so many time without fighting. Not easy fight but neither it doesn’t look too dangerous for Ryan Garcia. Let’s will see
Kingcry is fighting Who?
I’ll believe it when I see it.
In other words, Garcia isn’t fighting.
