  • Boy, it’s getting confusing trying to figure out who is fighting who! One minute it’s Campbell and now it’s Tagoe.

    • Yep! Between Luke Campbell, Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia, Javier Fortuna and Jorge Linares, they were all scheduled to fight one (or two) of the others and now Tagoe is mixed in there. I don’t much about Tagoe – he’s only fought three guys I’ve heard of and the last time he lost a fight he was fifteen and Ryan Garcia was five years old.

    • WBC Campbell vs. Garcia (Interim, with the winner slated to face Haney). WBO is orderin Tagoe vs Garcia, where the winner might have a shot to Lomachenko. That is the way I understand this mess. By the way, Tagoe has the tools to flatten Kingry.

      • Is Tagoe really that good? 15 ko’s in 32 fights against not the greatest of opposition doesn’t strike me as much of a finisher, but I don’t know.

        • His style is a lot wrong for Garcia. Tagoe is a experienced defensive fighter.

    • Yeah , I heard that too. It’ll be interesting to see which route they take

  • $150k? When Garcia felt that $200k was chump change? Hah! Good luck WBO.

    • Yeah, but that is the minimum bid. The offert can range up to 500k for Garcia I guess. For Tagoe I don’t believe he ever has earned more than 5000 bucks

  • Haha Ryan turned down $200K and now the minimum bid is $150K. He has a lot to learn about life. People have been losing their jobs in this pandemic and he’s acting like a baby. Take the money. The draws will not be as big but at least you’re working. Lastly he’s not Mayweather, Oscar or Manny. He has to earn that right.
