Wait, what does that mean

his opponent has never beat anyone with a winning record (more wins than losses). he faced 11 guys with winning records. he failed every time.

Aah ok, right!

Am I the only one who had Garcia winning Tank on points before the stoppage? Maggie?

you scoring drunk again brah

Anyone see Garcia going to town on Oscar and Bernard at the presser? Amazing

he bitches about oscar all the time but keeps signing with him

Bernard Hopkins was correct in everything he said.

I think Garcia looks distracted, Duarte looks super relaxed and focused. I'm not a bettin' man, but if I were, I'd put my money on Duarte. Late stoppage, 10th rd maybe?

duarte has looked really limited to me. for him to win i think garcia would have to barely throw punches. some guys arent the same after losses, that's true, but i'd be really surprised if duarte won this

That's because it's foreplay.
They need to give up this tired show and just get a fvckin room already.

im starting to wonder about that tbh

Is Ohara off this card?

Both 143lb ish…

Glad to see Ryan isn’t at 135, when I saw it listed as such I was a bit worried.

Part of me hates catchweight 143… but honestly no belts on the line, as long as they are both similar size (they look it) it kinda makes sense. Every significant weight cut takes somthing away from you long term, if you can agree on not busting yourself for the last 3 lbs why not, it’s safer long term and short term…

(Although I guess it won’t help his 140 rank…

I wonder how much focus Ryan can have for this one. Surely the Oscar/B-Hop dispute will have a baring on his mental focus.

Not when it's just for show to get media and fan attention.
This is the same tired act BHop used his whole career.
In the weeks leading up to a fight find some dispute with his promoter or some other well known boxer.
If not one of those just say something controversial to keep himself and his upcoming fight in the media.

Fight Night!!

It is going to take a lot of energy for garcia to keep fighting Duarte off. You can bet Duarte will have stamina and power right on thru the 12th rd. If King Ryan can't stop him before it gets into the later rounds I think he'll be in some trouble. You are right ,in theory it's garcia's fight, but Duarte is a train that no one has stopped thus far. And, Duarte looks seriously conditioned at weigh-in.

Not sure how good this Duarte kid is, never heard of him in fact ( goldenboys big hope? Really? ) so I’m sorta expecting left hook Ry to coldcock him at some point - he still looks confident, and the Tank loss prob didn’t take much out of him, physically, or mentally ( went in with a busted rib and weight drained etc ) not a bad KO loss as far as Tank kos go

I signed up for DAZN for a month as Dec looks good.. can’t recall why just now, but saw some good ones coming up
