Garcia is younger and his career is being hyped by Goldenboy, it wouldn't be surprising that he is matched to an old boxer that seem willing to lose. Just my hunch though. But this Emmanuel though I have no idea who he is looks very experience.

I'll still be rooting for Garcia. This match is designed to make Garcia look promising.

Oscar De La Hoya of the Golden Boy Promotions is the brain behind Garcia's fights, making him as a functional cash cow. This fight though is just an interim while Oscar negotiates Lou DiBella (G. Kambosos Jr's promoter) in the meantime given that Garcia will defeat Tagoe first.

Emmanuel (33 years old) is much more experienced than Garcia though with 33 bouts and 15 of that via KO, so yeah much more lower KO rate than Garcia and unfortunately the latter will just be a stepping stone to the rising star.

I haven't watched Ryan in the ring in a long time, but I'm not very familiar with Tagoe, rarely see him in the ring even though Tagoe is also a boxer to bet on, Is Tagoe a suitable opponent for Ryan next April 9th, I hope so.

Honestly i loved watching Ryan hit the punch in the ring, against Luke Campbell a year ago, Ryan has emotions that are well controlled in the ring he is a brave boy and likes a challenge, what else boxer Emmanuel Tagoe, boxer from the Philippines Pacquiao, Ryan challenged, I also want to see in the ring the two of them Ryan vs. Tagoe out of 12 determined rounds, how many rounds last.

Emmanuel Tagoe has a decent record with 32 wins and 1 loss in his boxing career. However, most of his fights are in his country, so I consider him as an unpopular fighter, and going against Ryan Garcia, this should be the biggest fight of his life as a boxer. He started his professional career in 2004, lost his first fight, and has not tasted a defeat since then.

you can check the record of Tagoe ; https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/289944

His promoter, De La Hoya seemed to be very sure that he will beat Tagoe here.

So the pressure is on Garcia to win this fight to face off with Kambosos Jr.

Can he beat Tagoe via KO?

I'm waiting for the thread about this guy's fight.
Garcia is now quite famous because apart from being a young fighter, he also became more famous when he defeated Campbell some time ago.
He does have a fairly distinctive style and indeed against Tagoe I think this is a pretty good thing because it is likely that Garcia will initially be met with Mercito Gesta and Saul Rodriguez.
Even though their age limit is quite far but indeed I feel that Garcia is better here

I read somewhere that this fight is now official.

Good to see that Ryan Garcia is fighting again, it's been a year since his last fight and that was a big fight because we saw him recover from from the knocked down and still beat Luke Campbell in the end. I guess his previous opponent is better than Tagoe, so I would still put my money on Garcia.

We can't say but as always there's a chance. On the contrary, It might be the other way around too and Garcia might be the one to be KO even with a low chance.

the possibility will always be there especially this boxer even though he is still young but his abilities cannot be underestimated.
There were 21 professional fights and 18 of them were won by KO/TKO.
In addition, there are some great boxers he has ever beaten in such as Fernando Vargas, Romero Duno, Francisco Fonseca and the last one maybe Campbell who was defeated by TKO.
He is still young but his ability is so terrible and it is not impossible that he can do a KO even though Tagoe is also a pretty good boxer

Garcia was once knockdown but he stood up, so I think even if he will get Knockdown here, with his stamina, he can still stand up, finish the fight and win. He is also smarter now, he experienced getting knockdown and he won't let that happen again, with his power, I have no doubt that he could KO Tagoe.

I agree with you. Despite having a massive age difference, and Ryan being the younger ones, it really doesn't mean that he'll be on the disadvantaged side because after all, the experience and skills are of importance. Even if someone is older, doesn't mean he is more skilled to fight and performs better.  It still all boils down to performance. How the boxer strikes his punches to knock out the opponent and how he would strategize to land a successful punch for a score is what matters.  I  personally cheer for him too, but of course, this won't be an easy fight still because Tagoe is an experienced fighter as well.

It happened when he fought Campbell didn't it? I even saw him almost lost 2 rounds :D But indeed his ability to analyze very well IQ ring he is very walking during the match and it was seen when he fought against Campbell which at first he was attacked constantly but as the rounds of the fight he got more and more increasingly dominant.
And even in this match, he did not rule out such a possibility because indeed he was very difficult to hold the opponent's Hook and if we look at his stomach sometimes he can't hold the opponent's Hook so this will be risky.
But indeed I will still be by the side of this young boxer because this is better I think.

This is another cherry pick for him and for sure he will get a lot of fluke for choosing an old boxer for his comeback fight. He has been calling the other champions in this division though but choosing an unknown fighter? Nah.

Looks like we will gonna have an exciting fight these upcoming months and this is one of them. Garcia will dominate this fight and continue his legacy by defeating every opponent before he can get another championship match. From the look of it, they cannot find some real opponent for Garcia and they just settle for Tagoe since Garcia is hungry for a fight this year. I wonder who will be fit to fight him after this because we need to see some equivalent fighter like him.

Garcia looks very young to win emmanuel,  he does not have much experience compare to emmanuel.  If one should figure out the fighting  abilities of the both fighters that of emmanuel is more. I don't think if it will be easy for Garcia to win the fight.

RYAN GARCIA is inactive for quite sometimes. In April 2021, he with draw from fight against Javier Fortuna saying he will focus on his health. Now  Ryan Garcia's shocking confession ahead of his next fight vs. Emmanuel Tagoe (https://www.google.com/amp/s/bolavip.com/en/amp/boxing/boxing-ryan-garcia-shocking-confession-ahead-of-his-next-fight-vs-emmanuel-tagoe-20220211-0038.html). Garcia is still having mental health issues and let's see whether he can come to fight scheduled on April 9 2022?

Actually he has another fight after winning against Campbell (I forgot the name of the boxer). But he has to cancel that fight because of mental issues. And we lauded Ryan for admitting that because sport personalities have then persona that they are invincible, which is not.

Regarding the fight, I would tend to lean on that this is a cherry pick fight as well. Not in a bad sense since he is coming back from a long layoff and that issue that I just mentioned. Maybe this fight will bring back his confidence and look for the bigger picture in the future.

Oscar De La Hoya of the Golden Boy Promotions is the brain behind Garcia's fights, making him as a functional cash cow. This fight though is just an interim while Oscar negotiates Lou DiBella (G. Kambosos Jr's promoter) in the meantime given that Garcia will defeat Tagoe first.

As someone who has watched fights of Ryan Garcia on the ring, his explosiveness, accuracy, and long-reach is what makes him an exceptional fighter. Like what you have mentioned, De La Hoya is somehow making Garcia the next 'golden boy' on the ring as he is being promoted every time he fights.

According to boxrec, Emmanuel Tagoe is definitely an experienced fighter on the ring. With 32W (15KOs) and only 1 loss, he is someone that cannot be taken lightly, even if you are Ryan Garcia. Though experience would be key in this match, I do have my bet to Ryan Garcia primarily due to the fact that his punches are more explosive.

Obviously Garcia will win in this fight, but I don't know what's the odds from bookies... if the odds is very small I wouldn't bet and just skipping the fight since it will be boring. Garcia is young and have fought many times, why does he should cherry pick instead of become a challenger to got world title. If Tank and Kambosos are really hard opponent, he could fight with Devin Haney.

Right, Ryan has all the physical specimen to become the next big man in boxing. Just like in his last fight, he was able to comeback from the canvass and score a victory. What I don't like about this kid though is that he is more on the social media and he is too loud and brandish and calling any fighters that interest him. I still remember him fighting Manny Pacquiao next but it didn't materialized.

I wouldn't be so sure Garcia would win. Of course, youth and endurance are on his side, but experience is definitely in Tagoe's favor. Tagoe is not yet the age where he can be scared of his form, so in my opinion it cannot be said that anyone here is a definite favorite.

For now, there is no odds yet for a Garcia vs. Tagoe fight, but I think when they show up they'll be quite even.

Definitely, no one could be sure of the outcome, however, Garcia is surely the favorite to win and though Tagoe has a decent record I think the qualify of his rights is not good enough to level the capability of Ryan Garcia in the ring. This is my personal opinion too, I could be wrong though.

Tagoe does have a pretty good record but if you look at the history of the matches he has run most of them have been done in his territory and it is very rare for him to come out like now. He's a pretty strong fighter, but it doesn't really matter that much against Garcia. I will certainly be by Garcia's side now. He always has ambition in every fight he runs and this is a pretty good credit point for him.
I feel that even if there will be no KO or TKO but in any case Garcia will win

Garcia has great marketing and will definitely be favored in this fight. Right now I can see (while there aren't even the official odds yet) that a lot of people are putting him on as a sure winner in this fight. He did not lose and it is certainly a gold mine for the promoters, but I believe that Tagoe's experience should not be underestimated. He is still at an age where he can achieve a lot.

His promoter, De La Hoya seemed to be very sure that he will beat Tagoe here.
But he has the reasons as I believe, Garcia will be the favorite of sportsbooks here.
Though the odds may not be very wide. So the pressure is on Garcia to win this fight to face off with Kambosos Jr.
His dream fight with Pacquiao didn't happen so he better beat all the other champions in his division.
He is still young so he still has a lot to give in the boxing ring. Can he beat Tagoe via KO?

Many are expecting that Garcia will win in this match-up so I think he can beat Tagoe with this.
I would like to see the Garcia-Kambosos Jr fight after this so I will go with Garcia with this fight. I watched some of Tagoe's highlights on youtube though and he seems fast as well but most of his fights are not outside his country though so he isn't as popular as his opponent.

Still, I believe that Garcia will win in this match-up by TKO in the first 6 rounds and will face Kambosos in the future :).

I agree if this boxer is a good one and capable of beating Garcia, there will be a postponement, Oscar Dela Hoya keeps cherry-picking opponents for Garcia, Haney wants him so badly but the Golden Boy promotions do not want to kill their cash cow yet if Garcia is good enough and DeLa Hoya trust his fighter they'll go for Tank Davis or Haney but they keep avoiding these two fighters and yet Garcia wants to be the next Pacquiao.

Again, it might be that Tagoe has a good record, but he is not on the same level as Ryan Garcia. It's a careful match making obviously because they don't know if Garcia can still the pull the trigger. So they don't want to put a big risk having him fight a good contender. If he wins by KO or TKO or be the the huge favorite then we shouldn't be surprised.

Tagoe actually is a good fighter, his speed, agility, head movements, and power can somehow near Ryan Garcia's level. I'm not gonna be confident that Ryan could 100% win this fight, again because Tagoe is a good fighter and an upset might happen.
While at the same time, If Ryan wins this fight It could be a TKO. On the other hand, If Tagoe cracks the code on how to beat Garcia he'll have a chance to win the fight. Garcia was known to have a glass chin, but I don't think that's the case for him. Ryan lacks on defense and head movements because he likes to show off to the fans plus his agile as well.

It's quite normal and expected that Oscar wants to build the young man's career first and to cherry pick Garcia's opponents to milk more. As the OP said, this is just an interim fight which is also a part of their deal before Garcia will face Kambosos Jr., so I have no doubts as well that this Emmanuel Tagoe will be defeated by Ryan Garcia, though experienced but will be just a stepping stone.

The question now is, can Ryan Garcia knockout Emmanuel Tagoe?

Definitely, no one could be sure of the outcome, however, Garcia is surely the favorite to win and though Tagoe has a decent record I think the qualify of his rights is not good enough to level the capability of Ryan Garcia in the ring. This is my personal opinion too, I could be wrong though.

I also have no doubt that Ryan Garcia will once again prevail over his opponent this time. I don't even understand that of all the possible opponents of Garcia, Tagoe was chosen. Tagoe seems not experienced or tested enough to finally face the rising star. He will probably be schooled in this fight before getting knocked out.

To those who hope for an upset, Tagoe at 6.60 is really attractive odds. To those who are sticking with the favorite, betting on specific KO round for Garcia will most probably be the choice.

With the new additional trainer Hall of Fame trainer Joe Goossen for Ryan Garcia camp plus the overwhelming advantage on skills, That 6.60 is a sure trap odds for gambler that expecting an upset fight. Ryan Garcia has a lot of time to train plus the fact that he pick the most unexpected contender for his too long delayed order match. I believe this match is just a preparation for his upcoming match with Gervonta Davis probably on the final quarter of this year. The odds is very one-sided so I will not risk money on this match and just watch it in my couch.

Ryan Garcia is always delaying his progress with so many excuses while his rivals Haney and Gervonta Davis have won titles and fought a lot of credible fighters, now he is facing unknown fighters but even if he beats him decisively the boxing community will not be impressed, he is good at beating unknown and good at cherry-picking his opponents Ryan Garcia is one over rated fighter.

Ryan is good and young fighter, the last time I watched his fight was the time he fought against Campbell which was very interesting. Ryan's punches is so powerful despite his looks young.  Tagoe is an experienced fighter but I doubt if it will be easy for him to defeat Ryan.

Ryan's strength due to his age is an edge when it comes to the boxing ring. He never fails to surprise his viewers when it comes to the aggressiveness of his punches. He's still unpredictable and his speed is too surprising. I guess it would be a challenging match for Tagoe but we can't also deny the fact that Tagoe would also be tough. This is really another exciting match.

I can't believed that Garcia has choosen Joe Goosen as his trainer for this fight. I mean he has been with Eddy Reynoso, the trainer of Canelo Alvarez and it seems he is doing good for Ryan and Alvarez and Garcia is very close.

That's why I was surprised to see Canelo criticizing Garcia at one point. Maybe he already severed his tie with Reynoso or if this is just a one time trainer with Goosen.

“I know everyone involved with Ryan and have great relationships with all of them, including his mom Lisa and dad Henry. We have a past, and it’s a friendly one. Ryan has spent time at my Ten Goose Boxing Gym as an amateur. We know each other on a boxing level as well as a personal level,” explained Goossen.

“Only they can tell you what led to the decision [to move on from Reynoso]. I would only speculate. How they were led to it, I could only imagine, and I don’t want to do that. They are in control of their own careers and lives. But however they came about the decision, I am quite happy with it.”

Cherry picking, they want to show Garcia's knock out power here so I also don't see an upset. Careful matc making for his comeback fight.


Yeah, it will be at least what rounds is Ryan going to score a knock out win. Maybe there will be ring rust early for him, so it could be round 6++ for a Ryan knock out.

Tagoe isn't so bad with his boxing.

Garcia is already a big shot in boxing.

^^ Maybe his move is just for him to grow more. For sure he has learned a lot from Reynoso, specially the patented left hook which Canelo and Valdez has shown in their last couple of fights. And Ryan have that too, but perhaps he wanted to learn more and as the article says, they have a relationship before so there is no love lost between Goosen and Ryan Garcia. New version of him might show in this fight.

After calling out everyone, he ended up with Emmanuel Tagoe. LOL!

Although a Ryan Garcia fight has the potential of becoming a mega showdown, this fight against Emmanuel Tagoe is obviously different. Tagoe doesn't have the popularity of the numerous fighters Garcia called out. But this is Ryan's fight. He will most probably come out victorious by way of knock out. But I hope Emmanuel Tagoe will step up and give this young man a hell of a fight and an unforgettable experience. Or why not defeat him?

Ryan is already great but his full potential is yet to be seen, his promoters The Golden Boy promotions is cherry-picking his opponents the supposed Haney fight should have pushed through, Haney wants Garcia so badly and Tank is always ready to fight anybody, his overprotected promoters are what caused him not to advance and until now he does not have a legit title to boast, Garcia cannot go on like this and in his best interest that he change his promoters.

That strength brings Garcia on where he is now but I know he’s still capable of doing better things, like to become more aggressive and have a good speed on his punches. Tagoe also have a good record in boxing and a great strength, no doubt that this will be a great fight as well and looking forward for this day to come. I still think Garcia will have the advantage here.

Exactly mate, Garcia has a bright future in this industry given that he's capable of doing things unexpected due to his movements and speed in such a young age and a better edge to any opponent and that alone will be his advantage, well except from the fact that Golden Boy have cherry picked this opponent. Tagoe is a little unknown to us because as I saw his record, most of his games are held locally but he's a decent and tough one for sure, I'm looking forward that if indeed Tagoe will be defeated then at least I do hope that he will give Garcia a tough match or make him struggle.

If Ryan Garcia could not defeat Tagoe, then his future is not expected to be bright. He is out for a year and he should come back strong, I'm expecting a win but I am not 100% confident as I saw what happened to Garcia in his previous fight, he is not strong enough, he has a weakness and if Tagoe will find his weak spot, he might pull an upset.

So here are the odds as per sportsbet.io

Ryan Garcia - 1.08
Emmanuel Tagoe - 6.60

So there is a huge gap as far as the odds goes. And it seems that Ryan Garcia is a sure win to win this fight.

No other betting options available though, might be better to bet on which exact rounds will Garcia will win, or the range of rounds.

There should be no bitterness or something related to that. Everything changes or unexpected things really happened. Regardless of the history or issues with the trainer, the important part is, if they will be a big help to those who hired their service.

Ryan Garcia, whatever the reason he made that selection should not be a problem.

Let's see at some point if their tandem will make Ryan a much better fighter.

There will surely be more betting options available in the coming days. For now, the opening odds are limited to money line betting. I also checked the odds days ago and they are quite discouraging. Although I could place a minimum bet for Tagoe for the sake of the high return but I really doubt he could defeat Ryan. But who knows what effects Ryan Garcia's more than one year of inactivity has to his boxing power and skills? Somebody might think it is worth the risk. For me, I'd rather wait for more options.

For a long shot, a Tagoe bet will be really be attractive, maybe he could upset Garcia. But as you have said, this is Ryan's comeback fight so for sure he wants us to be impressed with him again so I doubt that he will allow an upset from a relatively unknown fighter. So as I have said, for us who are not a whale but smart bettor, we will rather wait for other options so that we can get bang for our money. And if ever we lose it's not that huge amount.

this being a boxing fight between seniors and juniors what I mean is there is quite a big age difference, Garcia is at a young age to fight, while Tagoe is at a mature age. This fight was organized by Boxing Promoter De la Hoya, Statistically Garcia has never lost, and Tagoe has only suffered 1 defeat. Garcia Delighted to tagoe for taking this match, Karean Garcia hasn't played in a long time since his last match with Campbell last year.

I didn't say though that there is bitterness from Ryan Garcia, I'm just surprised by the move and then seeing Canelo going into public and saying things against Garcia might have been the trigger point.

@Kasabus - yeah, for sure this will be a test for Garcia, but I don't think that the rounds an be extended. I'm seeing Garcia maybe winning by less than 8 rounds?

Tagoe's 33 years old while Garcia's 23 years old, there's a 10 years old gap between both of them... but to be honest 33 years old isn't the matter, actually that's a prime ages in boxing. He just lacking of popularity, it's hard to find his previous fight in youtube... mostly it's uploaded with bad resolutions. He have experience, he have speed and he can box, upset could be happen here. I just hope this isn't fixed match where Tagoe let Garcia will easily, I expect this will be close fight.

33 years is not that old, as long as Tagoe has the skill, he can certainly match Garcia's speed and power. Unfortunately, since I don't see him had a big fight in the past, I cannot say that he has a good chance of beating Garcia, so I'm sure he will be a heavy underdog in this particular fight.

I also don't think age is big factor in this fight as 33 is still a good age for boxing. The real issue is that EMMANUEL TAGOE is quite and is having some mental haelth issues that can turn the table towards RYAN GARCIA. Also RYAN GARCIA is rated at number 5 by The Ring (https://www.ringtv.com/ratings/?weightclass=281) in 135 pounds category.  

So here are the odds as per sportsbet.io

Ryan Garcia - 1.08
Emmanuel Tagoe - 6.60

So there is a huge gap as far as the odds goes. And it seems that Ryan Garcia is a sure win to win this fight.

No other betting options available though, might be better to bet on which exact rounds will Garcia will win, or the range of rounds.

Being quiet doesn't mean he has a mental issue, maybe he just wants to do his talking in the ring that's why instead of talking a lot, he trains hard as he knows Ryan Garcia is a tough opponent and if he will win, it will be his ticket to bigger fights.

As far as I know, it is Ryan who admitted that he had mental issues:

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10027201-boxer-ryan-garcia-opens-up-about-dealing-with-depression-suicidal-thoughts

Tagoe is not well know that's why there is no media coverage or following for him. Yeah, maybe he is not comfortable going to the media and would rather stay off the radar before the actual fights. And it could be that he is really focus to pull the one of the biggest upset in boxing this 2022.

I hope he is good now and he is on his way to full recovery, and the support system that he talked about is really strong, like what I said he is not yet in his full potential with a good guide and fighting opponents that can challenge him he can attain great things once he gets those big fights and he overcomes these big fights he is on his way to full recovery because the depression caused is not attaining the individual's potential

I didn't say though that there is bitterness from Ryan Garcia, I'm just surprised by the move and then seeing Canelo going into public and saying things against Garcia might have been the trigger point.

@Kasabus - yeah, for sure this will be a test for Garcia, but I don't think that the rounds an be extended. I'm seeing Garcia maybe winning by less than 8 rounds?

Yes, I remember about the mental health issues that were discussed before. But I think, boxing is the savior of Garcia to walk in the right path again and discard those suicidal thoughts. If he will not live up according to others' expectations and just do his best for himself, he won't be stressed by what needs to be done. Ryan Garcia is more popular over Tagoe, so the boxing fans are mostly rooting for him. And no doubt, even sportsbooks will favor on this match.

There's a possibility that an upset will happen, but just like what the odds are saying,  the chance is very slim because Ryan Garcia is a popular fighter, a champion while Tagoe is an unknown fighter who is only good on record but has not fought yet a legit champion in boxing.

This is Tagoe's break. He beats Ryan, there will be a lot of bigger opponents and larger paychecks. He has nothing to lose here so he should be going all in.

Yeah since this is a Physical sports like UFC which turn the table around with just one lucky punch but since this is boxing that way of attacking opponents i only through punching, I believe the chance for an upset match to well disciplined and good physical statsd fighter is very rare since Mayweather already prove a perfect boxing record on his career by just doing his perfect execution strategy and counter on all of his match. He never gets greedy in terms of knocking down his weak opponents.

Yeah this is true, there's nothing to be worried by Tagoe. If he win he will get many opportunity and if he lose, it doesn't have so much impact with his previous record. While if Garcia lose in this fight, his career will be ruined. He just known as potential young and undefeated boxer, but he only fought with unknown boxer.

I think throwing few dollars to bet Tagoe isn't wrong, but yeah there's a huge risk betting him.

“Eddy didn’t have the time to work 100%. He’s a very busy trainer, and I understand,” Garcia told ESNews. “Sometimes you have to make your change for the better. It’s nothing against him. He’s a good trainer. I won five fights with him by knockout, so there’s nothing wrong. I’m going to another level, and I need a full-on, 100% [trainer]. It was never bad blood. It was about dedication and time, you know?”

Ryan Garcia‘s comeback trail starts against Emmanuel Tagoe on April 9 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, according to promoter Oscar De La Hoya.

  Yes agreeably that Ryan is young and has enough stamina to see him through a fight, but what need to consider is if he can be tactical enough to beat the likes of Tagoe Emmanuel.
  Citing his last game with Luke Campbell, when it looked like he was going to get the beating of his life, turned the game around and winning by a K.O. Although has an unbeaten record of 21 wins in 21 games, I still have my doubt that he would win Tagoe.
  Tagoe who is a lightweight champion and has 32 wins to his name out of 33 games is sure to give Ryan a run for his money, despite the age gap. I'm rooting for Emmanuel to win the game 😏

Last year, Ryan Garcia managed to defeat Luke Campbell via TKO. Now, the rising strar Ryan Garcia is set to face Emmanuel Tagoe in a lightweight match. This will served as an interim fight before and if he (Garcia) will succeed then he gets to fight and challenge the undisputed lightweight champion George Kambosos Jr.

I have no doubts that Ryan Garcia will again win via KO or TKO in the first few rounds against the Ghanaian boxer Emmanuel Tagoe.

Agreeably, Ryan is good. Good speed, stamina and a record winning of 21 out of 21 games fought, but I beg to ask the question, can he be a match for Emmanuel? His game with Luke Campbell proved to work in his favor after collecting massives hits but still turned the tables in his favor.
 Emmanuel Tagoe on the othed hand, is a man who has seen challenges and managed to still come out winning 32 of his 33 games defeating Mason Menard in the last game.
 He has the skill set capable of making him a bitter enemy not minding his age. I root for Emmanuel winning the game tho.

Ryan Garcia talking about his split with long time trainer Eddy Reynoso:


https://www.boxingscene.com/ryan-garcia-opens-up-about-split-from-reynoso-he-time-work-100--164252

What's your take on this? He said that Eddy doesn't have time for him.

But on the other hand, Canelo himself criticized Garcia in public saying that Ryan doesn't not give everything in training.

We really don't know what the true story is, maybe Canelo is telling the truth here because he have seen Ryan grow. On the other hand, Eddy has so many stable of boxers to train, he has Oscar Valdez who is fighting Stevenson next. And now Ryan enters the picture, so Eddy doesn't have time to train Ryan 100%. So it's only right that Ryan hire someone that can train him for his upcoming fight because it's only a big one as this is a comeback fight for him.

Looking at Tagoe's knockout abilities, it is hard to rely on it for a possible upset. Tagoe has lower than 50% fight wins to knockout ratio. Of course it is still a possibility that Tagoe could come up with a strong blow that hits at the perfect time on the perfect spot on Ryan Garcia but it is a far possibility. In terms of going the distance with a unanimous decision upset, Ryan is untested. If I am not mistaken Ryan Garcia has not gone up to the 12th round. But the question is, does Tagoe have it to outpoint Ryan until the last round? 

That is what I want to see if indeed Ryan can still dance until the 12th round because he is not used to it, maybe in trainings and sparring he can endure but in a professional match like these, I don't know. Tagoe is unknown for a lot of us and we're just speculating on his records and KO rate which is much lower that Garcia's rate.

I won't deny that in this match I'm in-favor with Garcia but I'm also rooting that Tagoe will test Ryan and make him struggle until the end because he doesn't have a lot to lose if he's defeated but if Garcia will be defeated then the kid's career is over.

But Ryan Garcia is very young at 23. Although his period of inactivity could have taken a toll somehow in his abilities, we could say that it can hardly make a dent in his athleticism and dexterity. Every time I watch Ryan Garcia fight, I am always excited. He is full of energy. He could hit you and chase you all throughout the round. You couldn't take a rest when the fighter in front of you is Ryan Garcia. He is simply full of life.

We will see how Tagoe prepares for such a youthful and powerful opponent. I hope he could also deliver a brilliant fight himself.

No doubt Ryan is one brilliant fighter but it's taking him so long to get a legit title this year The Golden Boy promotion is planning to Deathroned Kambosos and beat Haney but we have seen this before they planned Ryan to face Haney then Tank but Haney and Tank have gone through a lot of great fights already and Ryan is on health vacation, I hope he is now ok and ready to take the road to greatness, he needs to fight tough names in boxing for him to move forward.

It will be a tough fight for Kambosos, not sure though if Ryan can get to him because it's either Loma or Haney that's being groom for George to fight next.

This will be a big test for Ryan even if he has all the advantage to knock out Tagoe, Emmanuel will really bring the fight to Ryan and tested if he can last 12 rounds.

As the saying goes "don't fix it if ain't broke", Garcia and Reynoso has a good relationship. They have been winning 5 times already all with knock out. But when Canelo goes to the public and expose his training ethics, he suddenly bolted out and move to other trainers? I think Reynoso gives time to his boxers because if not then they are not going to win, like him, Canelo and Oscar Valdez and other up and coming fighters.

Tagoe is not an A fighter but his record is good.

Record is nothing if he is not fighting a class A fighter, if he will fight Garcia, he will be just like an amateur boxer trying to beat a pro. I don't want to say a lot as I don't want to underestimate Tagoe, but hopefully we will see an entertaining fight although Garcia is expected to win here.

Some said that this fight is just a cherry pick fight by Garcia, so let's see if it's really true.

Just like most of you here, it's also my first time to hear the name Tagoe in boxing, so I was surprised that a popular Ryan Garcia did not choose a popular boxer as well so they'll be able to sell their fight and gain a good amount from PPV and especially from the gate entrance.

Hopefully, our expectation is wrong, and Tagoe will be able to be very competitive.

Oh yeah? I thought it was Oscar who arranged this fight and the one who cherry picked Tagoe to fight his boy Ryan Garcia. If indeed so then it really makes more sense and much clearer why they picked Tagoe, an unknown boxer who only fights locally, this could be an attempt to make Garcia's name fresh again from his recent match against Campbell and a possible comeback.

I'm still rooting that Tagoe will give us a long entertaining fight that will go until round 12, and make Garcia struggle.

yes it is, it ryan's camp (oscar is his promoter) who chose this fight, hence, cherry picking. though it is considered cherry picked, still garcia needs to prepare well on this fight. another stepping stone but doesn't need to be taken for granted.
a lot are betting on garcia here no doubt. if you want to take more risk on your bets, check the other betting lines for this fight.

It is is all under Garcia's camp because he's under the Golden Boy Promotions, but what I meant is that Garcia himself picked Tagoe and not Oscar De La Hoya because that's the work of the promoter to find a match that could be good for his boxers. Garcia have won his recent match against Campbell but he also got ugly because of that fight that's why they need someone to make his name fresh again.

But Tagoe is still a mystery for me.

Garcia was tough in his previous fight, though we witnessed how he got knock down but he was strong enough to come back and beat Campbell. For me, I believe that Garcia learned a lot from that experience that's why I expect him to be more careful in his next fight.

Don't worry about that, Garcia will solve that mystery for you. :)

He was really tested by Campbell, although the majority of the rounds was his, he was not careful and just walking straight to Campbell and that's when he was hit. The good thing is that Ryan has a good chin and his recuperation time is very high.

Tagoe is a mystery because we haven't seen him fight before, but since he will be in the limelight against Garcia we will see if he has what it takes to upset Ryan or not.

Of course, Ryan Garcia has all the advantage this is a cherry-picked fight to geared him for big fights Dela Hoya wants Garcia to look good by pitting him to an unknown fighter, the worse thing that could happen is if backfired, let's admit Ryan Garcia is not a solid fighter he has a share of weakness and it will be further exposed if Tagoe plays a good fight, Tagoe is not an A fighter but his record is good.

I strongly agree, Garcia's capabilities was really tested by Campbell, he let his guard down while he was controlled by his emotion because Campbell managed to take him down first that is why he was eager to knock out Campbell. Unfortunately, he didn't succeed but Garcia have won the match via TKO but that match have ruined is career that's why he needed this win before he will face Kambosos Jr.

Yes, it was a scary moment for Garcia bettors, at the same time, those who have Campbell might be jumping for joy when they saw their boy knock down Garcia. But Ryan recovered and won over Campbell. Not sure if he can get Kambobos though. George is eager to defend his belt this year and he has sight on two opponents already, Loma (who doesn't have any belt but it's a money fight), and Devin Haney (who has the belt and I would say weakest champion in this division).

Why took so long for Ryan to have another fight?
I’ve been waiting for this Guy and I really see a great talent and future with Garcia so this can be a great match up and might be an easy one for Garcia. I will surely have some bet for him and make some money as well.

I have no doubts that Ryan Garcia will again win via KO or TKO in the first few rounds against the Ghanaian boxer Emmanuel Tagoe.

It seems that you have been interested in boxing for a long time and have experience in analyzing upcoming events. If you have no doubt that Garcia will win, then why not take advantage of this? I mean, bet on it.

Garcia was tough in his previous fight, though we witnessed how he got knock down but he was strong enough to come back and beat Campbell. For me, I believe that Garcia learned a lot from that experience that's why I expect him to be more careful in his next fight.

He was really lucky that he was able to win that fight because that's what really happened to Juan Manuel Lopez back then when they saw that he was weak in that spot, his opponent targeted him there and finally knock him out and never recovered again just like Amir Khan. the important factor about this fight is his defensive strategy to avoid such disaster in his career because he is still your and a charismatic fighter, you rarely see such someone in boxing history.

Yes, you're right things got bad after the fight with Campbell, now what I didn't know was that Oscar de la Hoya was still in action? I haven't heard from him for a long time, I thought he had retired from boxing, although he was an outstanding boxer, if they didn't choose him, it means that he still doesn't have a sufficient level to start, I think we could say that Oscar de la Hoya it would be one of the secret letters that are still out there from the old school.

Oscar is still in the boxing promotion, his Golden Boy promotions is one of the top in boxing today even though he has lost Canelo already. Yes, it could be a disaster for Ryan if he losses to Campbell that time, but he won and his stock goes up because he proves that he can get up from the canvass and finished his fight with a knock out. But as we all have known by now, he admitted that he has a mental issues. So coming back and fighting someone who is not known could be just a test how Ryan's mentality is. If he can still fight and hungry and motivated.

^ He wouldn't declare his availability of he is not ok. But it has a caveat, they need to see it so they got an opponent that they think Ryan can beat easily by a knock out or thru dominant fashion to really bring back his confidence in boxing. So he really needs to win in this fight, otherwise  and upset lost will have a devastating effect on his mind again and who knows, maybe he will quit for good.

Yes, you're right things got bad after the fight with Campbell, now what I didn't know was that Oscar de la Hoya was still in action?

Garcia was still young and he still have a lot to learn, his skills are good and I reckon that he really learned something big while fighting Campbell and that's why he had to take some time off to process it physically and mentally, I can also see that Garcia confident in his opponents and calm. So maybe that time while he was facing Campbell he was too confident that's why he caught unguarded by Campbell's blow.

Oscar De La Hoya, is retired from being a boxer and now he's a promoter called the Golden Boy Promotions. He is just using his experience and connections to get a good fight with good money to his cows.

He was probably because he is a knockout puncher and he really trust his power.  Good thing he was able to stand up and finish with a good win. In that fight, we saw that Ryan Garcia is also vulnerable to getting knockdown but we also see that he has a strong stamina.

He is in that business for awhile now, and for sure he made a lot of money since he is also promoting lots of champions.  De La Hoya is a smart boxer, he knows the path he has to go after his career, so until now he is still continuously growing his money even if he is not fighting anymore.

That's likely the case, he was overconfident of his ability to seek closed fight, we can see in the replay that he lowered his guard for a bit and Campbell used that chance to knockout Garcia. Luckily he was trained well that's why his body didn't collapsed immediately, and yes we saw that he's also vulnerable to such punches. I bet, he really learned a bigtime lesson on that one.

it was a combination that after exposing his chin an overhead left hit gacria. campbell didn't rush to that opportunity. it might be exciting still if they will do a rematch again since both ad counter puncher.

Luke Campbell has retired from professional boxing — nine years after winning Olympic gold at the London 2012 Games.

So back to this fight, it Tagoe wants to win then he has to test the chin of Garcia again and see if it will hold. So he should be the aggressive early, it's like going in the first couple of rounds. If his experience is their then maybe he can overwhelm Garcia early.

This is not going to be a wise decision I think. This is very risky. If he wants to trade the heaviest of blows in the first couple of rounds, it is more likely that he will be the one to get knocked out first than Ryan Garcia. Ryan Garcia is the stronger puncher between the two. And the first two rounds are when Ryan is at his freshest state. Ryan could knock out Tagoe cold within those rounds. If I were Tagoe, I'd bring the fight to the distance and attempt at a unanimous decision. But all winning approaches are very hard for him of course.

There will be no rematch because Luke Campbell has retired already:

So back to this fight, it Tagoe wants to win then he has to test the chin of Garcia again and see if it will hold. So he should be the aggressive early, it's like going in the first couple of rounds. If his experience is their then maybe he can overwhelm Garcia early.

Given that Tagoe have much more experience than Garcia, then I'm looking forward that he will use his IQ in the ring to test Garcia on his limits if the latter can still dance until the 12th round. We know that Garcia and Oscar cherry picked this one but hopefully Tagoe will at least give it a good fight.

Sometimes experience doesn't work against a quality fighter, I'm saying that Garcia has more quality fights compared to Tagoe, and to be honest, I don't recognize the boxers that he beats unlike Garcia who beats popular boxers in the past.

I can understand that Garcia is more popular among boxing fans, but we can't ignore the fact that Tagoe may give him a good fight based on his record.
They may have cherry picked this fight but they should not be very confident about the outcome.
Garcia's camp should be training hard and not taking this for granted.

Even if the gap of odds is bit wide for this, highly favoring Garcia.

This is not going to be a wise decision I think. This is very risky. If he wants to trade the heaviest of blows in the first couple of rounds, it is more likely that he will be the one to get knocked out first than Ryan Garcia. Ryan Garcia is the stronger puncher between the two. And the first two rounds are when Ryan is at his freshest state. Ryan could knock out Tagoe cold within those rounds.

Indeed, getting aggressive in the first few rounds is definitely a bad idea as it may result to a sudden defeat in Tagoe's side. He may want to observe Garcia's movements first before starting his game plan because the chances of surviving while exchanging blows may not be on his side. Tagoe is an experienced boxer than Garcia so I think he knows what to do because he cannot forget the fact that Ryan was once trained by the same person who trained Saul Canelo Alvarez.

More than half of all of Ryan's fights he won by way of KO or TKO in rounds 1 and 2. Tagoe shouldn't commit this suicide.

That's the fact that Tagoe has to understad. However, Tagoe probably was getting offered with a big paycheck so he took this fight, and if he really believe that he can win this fight, then he sees this as an opportunity not only to have a good paycheck but a chance to become a champion with bigger fights waiting for him in the future.

This is a comeback fight for Garcia and the team and his promotions want to make sure that it will be something that will have a big bang and they have seen something on Tagoe that can make this happen an unknown fighter with a good record but not a knock out artist I'm pretty sure they scout Tagoe to pick him for Garcia's comeback back let's see if things will go their way.

This is not going to be a wise decision I think. This is very risky. If he wants to trade the heaviest of blows in the first couple of rounds, it is more likely that he will be the one to get knocked out first than Ryan Garcia.

If I were Tagoe, I'd bring the fight to the distance and attempt at a unanimous decision. But all winning approaches are very hard for him of course.

You cannot overwhelm Garcia with experience alone, power and speed must come to play but unfortunately, these two are in Garcia's arsenal it's not what Garcia can take but what Tagoe can take, he must have a strong body because the left hook to the body will come to play here, we have seen on Youtube and his own social media account and on actual fights how powerful this left hook is, it already claims many victims and Tagoe could be the next one.

Could be the next one, if ever Garcia can throw a succesful blow on Tagoe but what if the latter can withstand that blows? Still, I also definitely think that Tagoe still have those chance. Don't take it wrong because I'm rooting for Garcia on this fight, but I'm just saying that this unknown boxer might surprise us. You're right that experience alone cannot take on Garcia, but we already know what comes with experience and by looking his stats, Tagoe is not an easy one to deal with. Anyways, we'll see next month.

Just imagine Tagoe beat Garcia by knock out or decision that would be the biggest news in the boxing community for 2022 and Tagoe will become an instant celebrity just like Ugas when he beat Pacquiao, and that could be the end for Garcia's legacy because he has a history of depression and losing to someone like Tagoe could hit him very badly.

I don't know why Garcia chose Tagoe as his next opponent but it looks like Garcia seems to underestimate Tagoe here.

That's the fact that Tagoe has to understad. However, Tagoe probably was getting offered with a big paycheck so he took this fight, and if he really believe that he can win this fight, then he sees this as an opportunity not only to have a good paycheck but a chance to become a champion with bigger fights waiting for him in the future.

Of course Tagoe will be receiving a bigger paycheck in this match. He is up against a rising star in Ryan Garcia. There is money in this fight. If I am in Tagoe's shoes, I also wouldn't be refusing this offer even if I'm being pitted against a much better boxer. I will just have to prepare hard and set the goal to victory. This is actually a big opportunity for him. I think he has nothing to lose here. But he shouldn't be focusing on the paycheck alone. He should also give his best to win. There are much bigger paychecks when he comes out victorious.

And sometimes, fighters that has nothing to lose will just show and fight and maybe score some upset. So we will see if Ryan Garcia is still intact and it's the right time that he come back or perhaps needed more time to recover from his mental health problems. As for Tagoe, yeah, biggest paycheck so he can't say no to his opportunity given to him by Golden Boy and then come fight night, give Ryan everything and make it a good fight.

Just imagine Tagoe beat Garcia by knock out or decision that would be the biggest news in the boxing community for 2022 and Tagoe will become an instant celebrity just like Ugas when he beat Pacquiao, and that could be the end for Garcia's legacy because he has a history of depression and losing to someone like Tagoe could hit him very badly.

If that happens, then surely Tagoe will be in the news headlines for several weeks. From being an unknown boxer to a famous one who pulled an upset or knock out the rising star Garcia. But that is the question of ifs at this point because I do think that Garcia will somehow finish the fight and go home with a win.

Ugas's situation is different from Tagoe because Ugas is the underdog with fewer experience while Tagoe is only looked as underdog by bookies and boxing fans but his experience exceeds Garcia. But yes, if he can manage to pull an upset then he will be an instant celebrity.

I don't know why Garcia chose Tagoe as his next opponent but it looks like Garcia seems to underestimate Tagoe here. If Tagoe could knock down Garcia that would be a great opportunity for him and just like what you said he would become an instant celebrity but we don't know yet what would be the outcome of the fight. We're just throwing random guesses here but I'm sure one of them will get a knock out and I believe that since I've seen their previous fight.

Good luck with this, strong for me has a different definition and I think he is still as strong as he was before or even stronger. his last fight was a statement, he was knocked down, get up and beat his opponent, for me, that's a real warrior and it's hard to beat that kind of fighter.

We will see if Garcia still wants to fight or just be the social media person he wanted to be. But it's obvious that he should be focusing on his career as a fighter and should not get himself into social media because it might back fire on him in the future. Win this fight and most probably he will have to wait for the winner of Kambosos vs Haney. Or he might go for Tank Davis, options for him are many if he will win this comeback fight.

Good luck with this, strong for me has a different definition and I think he is still as strong as he was before or even stronger. his last fight was a statement, he was knocked down, get up and beat his opponent, for me, that's a real warrior and it's hard to beat that kind of fighter.

Yes, but Ryan Garcia has some work to do in defence, but he's fast and can develop into a good defensive fighter, with big timing powers.
when Ryan Garcia against Campbell I thought Campbell would beat Ryan Garcia after falling in the second round and he got up and kept attacking which finally managed to knock Campbell out in the 7th round with a big left chest and a knockout.
So I will judge Ryan Garcia vs Emmanuel Tagoe there is a possibility of repeating my wrong prediction, to be honest if you look at Emmanuel Tagoe's experience he is more experienced than Ryan Garcia but that is not a benchmark because anything can happen.

If that happens, then surely Tagoe will be in the news headlines for several weeks. From being an unknown boxer to a famous one who pulled an upset or knock out the rising star Garcia. But that is the question of ifs at this point because I do think that Garcia will somehow finish the fight and go home with a win.

Ugas's situation is different from Tagoe because Ugas is the underdog with fewer experience while Tagoe is only looked as underdog by bookies and boxing fans but his experience exceeds Garcia. But yes, if he can manage to pull an upset then he will be an instant celebrity.

Of course Tagoe will be receiving a bigger paycheck in this match. He is up against a rising star in Ryan Garcia. There is money in this fight. If I am in Tagoe's shoes, I also wouldn't be refusing this offer even if I'm being pitted against a much better boxer. I will just have to prepare hard and set the goal to victory. This is actually a big opportunity for him. I think he has nothing to lose here. But he shouldn't be focusing on the paycheck alone. He should also give his best to win.

So back to this fight, it Tagoe wants to win then he has to test the chin of Garcia again and see if it will hold. So he should be the aggressive early, it's like going in the first couple of rounds. If his experience is their then maybe he can overwhelm Garcia early.

This is a very good strategy, if we take into account that if Tagoe has a much higher resistance than Garcia, and I think Garcia is a boxer who is characterized by having great resistance and also a unique stamina for blows, if Tagoe does that, It implies that he will expend a lot of energy, and I don't know how intelligent that is for him at the moment, because Garcia has the experience, I am also sure that Garcia has already had this possible strategy in mind and his training must be focused a lot on strengthening the strength even more. resistance, the only way it works is to give him a knockout, otherwise I think Garcia could win in a few rounds.

Tagoe could experiment all he wants, he just has to make sure that he is doing it the right way because Garcia is not an easy opponent to crack, he's been down before, was able to stand up and continue the fight. Garcia is a much tougher opponent now with that experience, so it should be Tagoe who should be careful, he could go for a KO but make sure he always keeps his defense so he will survive longer.

Those are great fighters but again with this match, i guess it been a tough decision making for gamblers who support on this but for me I go for Ryan Garcia we know he so fast to take any action and counter and also he has good footwork for having a speed reaction and make a good blow to the enemy but again we cannot underestimate Emmanuel Tagoe because he got the IBO lightweight that boxer really dream to fight each other so we cant wait for this fight.

By just simply looking at the numbers, Garcia is on the top here considering that he is still undefeated but of course, he should not be complacent because Tagoe is also a great boxer that he should take seriously. Yes, its not easy to place your bet but you have to make a good decision now because the math is fast approaching and you might not be able to get a good odds if you are late on placing your bet. They are both fighting for their dreams but for this match, I'll go for Garcia this time.

Experimenting is not necessary as that would cost him more rounds before he can make up with a good counter-strategy. Why not just do his usual, focus on good points then slowly applied it every round. No room for doing such testing and experiments.

While he is doing that, Garcia might be the first to hit him up badly. Stay serious and focused and think of all the things he did during their practice and training.

Anyways, we honestly don't need to say what should they do as these boxers are experienced ones.

What we need to wait for is how they will execute their strategy on the day of the fight.

The undefeated Garcia should have made 2021 his year. While Garcia should get the job done, this fight is about Garcia getting his rhythm back and showing everyone that his mental health issues and his hand injury are water under the bridge.

I have also not seen anything negative about his physical injury issues in the last months. Joe Goossen has really contributed to getting Ryan Garcia back on his legs and back in the ring. He is a really good trainer.

The fight against Emmanuel Tagoe will defintely be the start of something special for Garcia.

Those are great fighters but again with this match, i guess it been a tough decision making for gamblers who support on this but for me I go for Ryan Garcia we know he so fast to take any action and counter and also he has good footwork for having a speed reaction and make a good blow to the enemy but again we cannot underestimate Emmanuel Tagoe because he got the IBO lightweight that boxer really dream to fight each other so we cant wait for this fight.

Exactly! This fight is just a comeback to show the whole boxing world and industry that his issues are just minor and there's nothing to worry about it. We cannot forget that this is just an interim fight before Garcia faces Kambosos Jr. and in the same manner, there's some huge reasons why Garcia's camp and Golden Boy Promotions have choosen Tagoe despite that the latter have some good and decent experience in his career.

I share the same point of view with you mate.

This fight is just all about Garcia to make his name good again after all the rest he did and that he's in perfect shape either mentally and physically and of course to redeem his name again from his match against Cambell because even if he won last time, he was also was knocked out. We don't know why they picked Tagoe as his interim fight but I know there's a reason behind it, after all their goal is to defeat Kambosos Jr.

We don't know why they picked Tagoe as his interim fight but I know there's a reason behind it, after all their goal is to defeat Kambosos Jr.

That's what I noticed about Ryan too, he was really in a hurry at his young age, that's why he become so careless against Campbell and lose focus for a minute and then boom, he was down in the canvass. The advantage of being young is that he was able to get up from that fight and win. But it shows that he has weaknesses already, unlike those other champions in this division who haven't seen the canvass yet. So this fight is a measuring stick for him and Golden Boy to see if Ryan has the mentality to win fights maybe before they put him against the champions like Kambosos or Haney and of course Davis.

He also needs to be a technical fighter and not rush into something he is not so sure about his moves. Yes, he is young but it is not about the stamina or youth in boxing ring, it is a combination of different factors to survive long in this sports. Of course, the opponent will always look for his weakness and they will possibly work from there. So Garcia's camp should not be very confident about this upcoming fight.

It's quite too soon for me to take bets on this fight, 3 weeks left before the fight and maybe there's still a lot of going to happen prior the fight. I guess I'll wait more for some tip-off ;D

Garcia's speed, power and capabilities is really an advantage in his side to any opponent he will face in his whole career and the fact that he used to train with Canelo's team is also a huge plus to make some smart move in the ring, I just hope that he will stay healthy because man, this boy really have a bright future. Back to this fight, Tagoe here is also a decent boxer so I doubt that this will be an easy fight.

If you think like this there's a lot of money to be made because the majority seems to think that Tagoe has slim chance of winning. I don't know him and his style so I can't say much but I'm sure people who know much more than me are taking these bets. At this point it's almost 87% of bets for Garcia, which means he's either greatly outmatched or underestimated.
I feel like this is mainly because of how Garcia is being promoted and that they're matching him with boxers with good record but who are slower than him to give him an upper hand.

Garcia's biggest weakness is anxiety and depression and this will come out when there's a big challenge ahead, Tagoe is not a big challenge to him compared to if he is going to fight the likes of Haney or Tank I like to see him one day fighting an A-class fighter from there we can see if he is really cured of his anxiety, but of course, he needs to get fast Tagoe first.

I don't know if his anxiety comes from fighting big names or it is outside of boxing that give him this mental problem. So I doubt that the former is the cause of all of his issues, maybe there is pressure from boxing or he is putting too much on himself that's why his mind can't take it anymore and he openly admitted that he had a problem. So this should be an easy fight for him to just let his anxiety out so that he will be back to normal and fighting name boxers.

If you think like this there's a lot of money to be made because the majority seems to think that Tagoe has slim chance of winning.

By just simply looking at the numbers, Garcia is on the top here considering that he is still undefeated but of course, he should not be complacent because Tagoe is also a great boxer that he should take seriously. Yes, its not easy to place your bet but you have to make a good decision now because the math is fast approaching and you might not be able to get a good odds if you are late on placing your bet. They are both fighting for their dreams but for this match, I'll go for Garcia this time.

Nothing wrong to place a bet on the underdog as upset always happened but can't really find a good reason why an upset will happen here. Not saying Tagoe doesn't have a chance to win or as you said, a slim chance of winning but technically, Ryan Garcia is just too much for Tagoe.

But let's see if there's something special that might others a reason why a bet on Tagoe is worth placing for.

In the end, he won't be considered to fight Garcia if there's a question about his capability to win.

Tagoe's chance on defeating Garcia here is somehow slim, we know that upsetting the heavy favorite happened is always possible as it already happen often times in the boxing but just like you, I also don't see that it will going to happen in this fight. Tagoe is good and a decent boxer too, we can see it in his history and I think that's the exact reason why Garcia's camp have picked him.

Tagoe will be a ladder in Garcia's success and the risk is of a defeat is quite minimal. But for the other bettors that is somehow expecting an upset in this fight then try throwing some couple of dollars for Tagoe, the odds is too tempting too.

That is the point, it's too tempting and attractive to at least throw some money on Tagoe and sit and hope for an upset although the chance is very slim. The thing is, Garcia has shifted trainer here, although he is familiar with Goosen, he has been with the Reynoso camp for years and they are very successful.

So most probably those who bet on an underdog will justify this and says that Tagoe will have a chance because Garcia might be affected by switching trainers and it could have a bad repercussions on his performance.

There's something that bettors saw that's why they are willing to take that high-risk bet.

Though we all know that upset is always possible and if you take the underdog, the odd is more decent, maybe some have
a good reason why they are taking the underdog.

Or, they are real fans of Tagoe and they believe that he has that fighting chance to win over Garcia. We never know till
we see them fighting inside the ring.

just look at the odds, and you will understand if some people won't bet on garcia because it is only 1.0x only, whereas, with tagoe, it can go as high as 7x. so if you are betting small and you want to take the risk, you will really bet on tagoe even if we say, you are not a follower of tagoe. just taking your chance the possibility that the underdog will win here and go home big.

It's very tempting to bet for Tagoe but if I'm going to bet on Tagoe it should be money that I can easily afford to lose I used the word easily because I'm not even expecting 50/50 chance, this is Ryan's biggest fight because it's a comeback fight you never blow up your comeback fight, you want to make it great and unquestionable because if Ryan loses it's over for him, they are not bringing a weak fighter because the fighter has a good record although unknown.

Right, in some sportsbook Garcia's odds only 1.05 while Tagoe is 8.40, it's really huge gap between them. You need to have a lot money like Drake if you want to pick Garcia, it's not worth if you only bet few bucks. I will like to throw few dollars to Tagoe, perhaps April 9 is my day :P Hope the fight doesn't a fixed match or have something agreement on behind the ring.

Garcia said the pivotal incident was when he walked into Alvarez’s gym last year and found himself unable to continue with his workout after 20 minutes. He recalls breaking down in tears and having to leave. Alvarez was there, a witness to the whole event,

https://www.boxingscene.com/ryan-garcia-on-canelo-questioning-his-discipline-you-just-shtting-on-me-what-point--164910

And the way I understand it, Garcia felt betrayed by Alvarez comments about his work ethics and others and this is the main reason for me why he leave the Reynoso camp.

Garcia is very sensitive he just want Ryan to improve that's a problem when everything that's been said about you, you will take it seriously you should be open to criticism, champions can take criticism and go above it, the biggest question has been, is Ryan Garcia ready for the big things, can he take the challenge we can only conclude if he has fought a top caliber fighter and won a title, but right now he is a fighter in struggle for a place in boxing.

I think that's the most cases for those kid who were born rich, they're mostly sensitive because they've been spoiled since they born and maybe Ryan is one of them, that's why he's reacting like he was betrayed by Canelo and maybe that's the also reason why he revolt and find another one to train him.

Yes, he should definitely learn to be open to some criticisms and be used about the noise surrounding him because that's quite normal while you're moving up in the boxing industry.

Some people don't have guts to accept criticism - they are too sensitive what other people think and say about them .. To be honest if you want to be a real fighter ( Mentally and physically ) you have to stop giving importance to people's option. To me criticism is  healthy - one should listen to the criticism  - if it concerns you, take it otherwise leave it there and move on..

Right, there are those certain people who are like that and sensitive enough when they are criticized publicly and for Garcia's case, that's his weakness and he should work on that one well because someday one of his opponents will use that weakness to get in his head and that could result in defeat.

He should learn to how to accept it until he get used to it and only pick some few criticisms that could help mold his character.

Ryan Garcia with all his mental demons, is very sensitive at every criticism he will hear and get. Specially from someone who he treats as friend, Canelo goes to the public and reveal something that Garcia didn't like so obviously he moves out of that gym because now he doesn't feel being accepted. But then again, Garcia is still very young that's why he still has this kind of attitude, his mental attitude shows that he has a lot of things to learn from this sports and business.

He really felt backstabbed when Canelo have said and revealed something in public, Garcia may have been hurt badly because who knows he might looked up on Canelo as one of his closest friend that is supposed to help him along his career especially advice him in the years to come but I understand Canelo because I think he just did that to make him open his eyes more in this industry.

Nope, switching trainers/coaches might only have a little to none effect to a skilled fighter. Nevertheless, the kid is still training what he does and he's more likely not going to change anything that compromises his fighting comfortability. Again, he's still training, so no I won't gonna buy that kind of analysis.

Ryan on this fight has all the advantages, and there's not even a huge gap in professional experiences even with years of age gap. So, betting on Tagoe is bearing a lot of risk in this match
 However, upset are inevitable.

I totally agree, Garcia has all the advantage but who knows, maybe Tagoe will be on his best against Ryan and maybe put everything he have in this fight.

That's a huge upset if Tagoe would beat Garcia, and since Garcia has some kind of mental problem, a possible loss might make his problem gets bigger and could end his career. Sorry, my imagination is very negative, but I'm just thinking of a possible scenario here.

It's fine mate because what you were saying is really possible to happen in this fight, you know when a boxer has got some kind of mental problems especially if it was just happened recently then his opponent will really use that as their advantage, and for Tagoe here, it is highly possible that he will use Garcia's weakness to get in his head and upset him in-order to get a victory.

In interview he has talk about a possible Loma fight (this will be good), and he still wants to fight Teo Lopez at 140 lbs. But if he is upset in this fight then it might take sometime for him to recover again. So its going to be 50/50.

Although for me the chance are very slim for an upset, by still we really don't know if Garcia is fully healthy at this point. So this fight is very  important to him because it will give a positive impact and could trigger another run for Ryan.

Upset always happened but even I force myself to think that Tagoe can beat Garcia, I'm really having a hard time imagining it. I'm a fan of betting on the underdog but I can't apply it to this fight where I should put my bet on Tagoe and expect an upset.

Sorry but I don't see Tagoe winning the fight regardless of how it will end up.

Garcia is too much for Tagoe. I don't even know how they end up clashing each other. It's a one-sided match.

Probably just another get busy fight for Garcia, because we have to admit, as much as how they are going to promote this fight, it's not close and as you have said, a mismatch.

But someone needs to fight Ryan in his comeback fight and he has to look good. He can't go and fight the regular champion because this is his first fight coming off from the mental issues he suffer. And maybe Golden Boy thinks that Tagoe is a perfect fit for him, as it will show his talent, speed and power in a comeback fight. Good money for Tagoe and then good "fight" for Ryan, win-win situation.

His promoters will see this as a money fight for Tagoe, but he will come prepared for this fight, Tagoe very well know that he was picked because they think it's an easy fight and attractive for bettors and those who idolize Garcia but Tagoe will not only want money because he knows that if he can upset Garcia he will become an instant celebrity and that means more money to come in, it's not only a fight to make money for him but an opportunity to make more money and become an instant celebrity, let's see if Garcia is now prepared to be back again or Tagoe will blow out everything.

It's a very big challenge for him because he could be hurt badly in this fight.

I just like Tagoe though because he was never afraid to fight a KO artist, probably his camp seem some weakness of Ryan Garcia from his last fight and hopefully they'll be able to exploit that so this fight would be exciting to watch. However, Ryan Garcia will still win this fight, that's my prediction.

That's a huge upset if Tagoe would beat Garcia, and since Garcia has some kind of mental problem, a possible loss might make his problem gets bigger and could end his career. Sorry, my imagination is very negative, but I'm just thinking of a possible scenario here.

Mental problem?  Garcia has always seemed very sharp to me.  Maybe I missed something in the news but I don't see his mental state keeping him down in any fights.  He's one of the quickest punchers out right now.  A little too small to get me interested in his fights, but as far as being a technical fighter goes, he's right up there with Floyd (although lacking quite a bit in other areas from Floyd).  I expect Garcia to win this fight and move on to the next one.  He seems like he's a guy who has a rising career and is just stacking wins at this point on his way to something greater.

Ryan Garcia, one of boxing’s emerging superstars, withdrew on Saturday from his 12-round lightweight bout with Javier Fortuna, citing a need “to manage my health and well being.”

Fortuna promoter Sampson Lewkowicz said that Golden Boy president Eric Gomez told him Garcia was having mental health issues and that is why he withdrew from the bout.

“Eric called me this morning and said (Garcia) has mental health issues and that he decided not to fight,” Lewkowicz said. “I have a signed contract but what do I do with a signed contract? The only thing I need is a solution. Maybe he changed his mind about fighting Fortuna. Whatever it is I wish him a speedy recovery.”

as we have seen in the past boxing matches, upset is very possible to happen even if the favourite is somehow seen as the dominating one inside the ring. we can't really tell their actual capability outside the ring. so in this upcoming fight, garcia should give his best even if we say tagoe is not familiar to many. it will test his caliber as a boxer if he can easily emerge as a winner on this fight and chase much bigger names in boxing.

Although for me the chance are very slim for an upset, by still we really don't know if Garcia is fully healthy at this point. So this fight is very  important to him because it will give a positive impact and could trigger another run for Ryan.

In interview he has talk about a possible Loma fight (this will be good), and he still wants to fight Teo Lopez at 140 lbs. But if he is upset in this fight then it might take sometime for him to recover again. So its going to be 50/50.

“I’m very excited; it’s been a long time. Tagoe is a legitimate contender; I have nothing but respect for him. He has an ample opportunity here; he’s been looking for a tough fight, a fight that will make or break him; and I am looking forward to a dog fight if it happens to be one.

I am not looking past him, whether people think he is a good contender or not, and I respect him, and I know this will be a good fight." - Ryan Garcia

“I want to thank my promoter Lou DiBella and manager Peter Khan for giving me this opportunity to showcase myself to everyone. I know people don’t know me, but after this fight, people will ask, who is this guy!?"

“I know Ryan Garcia, I respect him a lot as a good boxer, but he is not my style.” - Emmanuel Tagoe

Experimenting is not necessary as that would cost him more rounds before he can make up with a good counter-strategy. Why not just do his usual, focus on good points then slowly applied it every round. No room for doing such testing and experiments.

While he is doing that, Garcia might be the first to hit him up badly. Stay serious and focused and think of all the things he did during their practice and training.

Anyways, we honestly don't need to say what should they do as these boxers are experienced ones.

What we need to wait for is how they will execute their strategy on the day of the fight.

This is gonna be a big fight as long as Tagoe will focus more on his strengths and show what he has got to gain, and not to lose. Of course, Garcia won't let that happen easily knowing he's been a tough fighter and undefeated in all his previous fights. And to think that he's been a 15-time national amateur champion at he's young age, then he must be very hard to beat. But of course, Tagoe on the other hand is also one of the top boxers nationwide and fighting with Garcia has always been his dream. So we'll see who will bring it to the next speed level.

Let's see about it soon and what have they got, these two boxers really deserves to win but unfortunately, a draw in this match is almost impossible to happen. Tagoe here have much experience than the young aspiring Garcia but the latter also have some capabilities that even a veteran boxer don't have. We know it won't be an easy fight as these two won't be an easy opponent to each other. Anyways, the time is near and we will see it soon.

the days are really passing by so fast. i believe, we will see a toe-to-toe fight on this. tagoe knows that garcia is the favourite here and he's more popular than him. if he will take that as a challenge, we will do witness a very good fight inside the ring. it may seem to be a cherry pick for garcia but we should not disregard tagoe's boxing record. he may not be known to many, but somehow his record is one for the books also as 32-1-0 vs garcia as 21-0-0.

Tagoe may be a cherry picked fight on this one against Garcia but it's not because he is weak, it is because he can unveil Garcia's true limitations or whatsoever. We can't also forget that this match is for Garcia so that he will lift his name higher, so we can expect a very interesting and tight match.

Let us wait for more betting options on this fight, ATM ML for Garcia is not a good bet.

Since Ryan Garcia is a heavy favorite to the point that Emmanuel Tagoe, with a Moneyline odds of @7, is considered an easy opponent for him, I think we can't see any good betting options for Garcia. It's likely a Winner per Round or when the fight will end but that was a hard pick.

Maybe I will place a risky bet for Garcia to win at TKO on rounds 6-8, depending on my pre-match analysis.

But unfortunately, over just a week to go before the fight, it's still only Moneyline as a betting option available.

Yup, you are right. This fight is intended for Garcia's successful return to the ring after a long layoff. I just don't know how prepared Garcia mentally in this fight. Last time I have read that Canelo, his friend took a swipe at him saying that he is now focused on a fight and the latter took it hard which might affect his preparation for this fight.

Let us wait for more betting options on this fight, ATM ML for Garcia is not a good bet.

Yeah, for us who doesn't have that much capital to bet on a ML to get at least a decent returns, we should at least wait for more betting options like the range per round wherein Garcia will win. A like the round 6-8 too, but I'm thinking that it could be less than that as Garcia is eager to show that he still got it. And maybe he will target the winner of the Kambosos vs Haney after this. So he need to win big here in order to secure a fight with the either of the two.

Chances are still chances, and if Garcia's mental problems still remains up until the day of the fight that chances of upset will be high, as I said Tagoe will surely use that as his advantage to bait the young Garcia.

The kid must solve his mental problems first and that is his priority for now if he wants his career to prosper in the long run because if he won't take this seriously, then that mental problems will really hunt him especially if he lost to Tagoe.

For Tagoe it could be a great surprise that he can win, in fact it is a great advantage that Tagoe can take advantage of in the fight, although it is not the idea and it would be a somewhat dirty strategy, I hope that they only limit themselves to giving a fight based on sports .

The mental problem has been existing for quite a while for Garcia. He rest for a while to solve that problem, and now on his come back, I'm sure that problem is already gone, or it that still remains at least he knows how to manage himself since he already submitted himself for healing.

I expect a more dangerous Ryan Garcia after a layoff in boxing to focus on solving his problem.

We can speculate that he is fully healed with his mental problems, because he was able to go to the gym and train hard and even though their is still questions if he can still fight or not, he can only answer it by moving forward and making a comeback.

So yes, maybe he will show his old self, a more dangerous Garcia who wanted to give a message to the rest of the division that he is back, both mentally and physical.

I'm pretty sure that Garcia is already planning ahead that's why they choose to fight an unknown fighter. If he wins this, that would convince the team that he is ready for a bigger challenge, probably against a real champion with a real chance to beat him.

Is it just me I just noticed but this fight is not getting enough hype or attention, yes it's Ryan's comeback but compared to other fights it's not getting hype, both fighters are nice to each other in the conference Tagoe is very excited for the match he wants to go with the fight in the conference but it's not yet the fight and promoters don't want fighters to fight for free, it seems Tagoe want to hype, we'll see in the weight in.

I'm pretty sure that Garcia is already planning ahead that's why they choose to fight an unknown fighter. If he wins this, that would convince the team that he is ready for a bigger challenge, probably against a real champion with a real chance to beat him.

It is not even worth it to bet on the money line because the returns is not that decent or pretty, but I think that's still fine because it is still a safe bet and for those who doubt or think that maybe Tagoe here will upset Garcia then why not throw a few couple of dollars because maybe that bet will somehow generate you good amount if indeed Tagoe will win.

Hopefully, there will be another betting option availabe next week. Let's just wait, we still have over a week.

Yes, because it's not like the old fights of Garcia where he fights a popular fighter. Tagoe might have a good record but he is not popular in the boxing world, but let's see how the sales would go as the fight is approaching. I'm sure this fight would still be profitable although not as big as the previous fights of Ryan Garcia.

The mental problem has been existing for quite a while for Garcia. He rest for a while to solve that problem, and now on his come back, I'm sure that problem is already gone, or it that still remains at least he knows how to manage himself since he already submitted himself for healing.

I expect a more dangerous Ryan Garcia after a layoff in boxing to focus on solving his problem.

I never know Garcia had depression problems until I have read your discussions about his mental health.
Well, that's kinda serious mental disease, many have took their lives and Garcia also confess that he tried to kill himself before.
Anyway, that's not easy to overcome, I hope his training and passion to the sport makes him forget about that kind of mental disease.
This doesn't change the odds anyway, Garcia will still be the favourite.

The mental problem has been cured already, that's why he is now back in boxing because he is ready to face the big challenges. And of course, he has to start fighting an unknown fighter because he was out for a while and he just want to ensure he is really ready for a big fight.

We'll see if he is really cured we'll see that in the fight if he gets better and he is the same Garcia, people expect too much from Garcia to achieve a lot because of being an internet superstar, but being an internet superstar is very much different from boxing superstar, he should limit his exposure on the internet and concentrate on being a boxer, and don't try to impress people.

I didn't know that he is an internet superstar? Would you mind telling me how he become popular on the internet?

What I know is that Ryan Garcia is a young and a great boxer, that's why he is popular in the boxing world, and with aggressiveness and KO wins, that makes him more popular, in fact, it's hard to spot that he is suffering from a mental problem because he looks so successful.

What’s the current odds for this match?

Fight Winner Odds

Ryan Garcia -1250
Emmanuel Tagoe +700

Tagoe is 8.6, better odds than sportsbet.

That's a trap, I wouldn't take that 8.6 against Ryan Garcia because we know how capable he is especially against a fighter that has not fought big fights in the US. I'm not saying Tagoe has no chance, but if we are talking of a chance, that should be a slim chance.

That kind of odds simply tells that he has a very slim chance, looks like this fight is under the radar because people are not talking about this fight. Just compare this thread to the other boxing fights, they are more active compared to this thread.

More odds will be available by April 9, so probably I'll just wait for the complete list and choose from there, certainly not an ML for Garcia.

We know that Garcia is coming from a long layoff, but it's hard to see him losing against a relatively unknown fighter who hasn't fought anyone at Ryan's level.

Yeah, it could be a trap for us, I know it's very attractive and might be tempting to some because of the huge odds but for sure, you have one foot already on the losing end, very slim change for him to pull an upset against Ryan. We know that Garcia is coming from a long layoff, but it's hard to see him losing against a relatively unknown fighter who hasn't fought anyone at Ryan's level.

That odds can still be change once the match is near, I can’t believe to see huge odds to fighter who don’t have much experience with a great boxer, Garcia can’t underestimated here and should be more careful with that odds. The layoff of Garcia is due to some illness but it doesn’t mean he stop being great, most probably he’s more eager to have a match right now and he will start it against Tagoe.

That's only more than a year, so it's not that too long, just enough time for him to rest and solve his problem which was a mental problem as previously reported. Now, that he is back, I'm sure he is more than ready to entertain the crowd again, and as a boxing fan, I always expect a KO from him.

Maybe it's not too long but there's still an impact on him. Ryan Garcia used to fight at least 2 times a year. After his last fight, he skipped a year without fighting due to the problem which was discussed. Well, he is still young, I'm sure he can get back to being active again, this would be his first attempt after a long layoff, he should not disappoint us.

Yup, you are right. This fight is intended for Garcia's successful return to the ring after a long layoff. I just don't know how prepared Garcia mentally in this fight. Last time I have read that Canelo, his friend took a swipe at him saying that he is now focused on a fight and the latter took it hard which might affect his preparation for this fight.

Let us wait for more betting options on this fight, ATM ML for Garcia is not a good bet.

I'd definitely put my bet on Tagoe, unless if this is a fixed match. I saw how Ryan Garcia plays, and to be honest, he's not someone I'd bet for. I've been watching his Tiktoks and videos on YouTube, he puts priority on fame over his overall record in boxing, I gotta admit that he makes more money but if we're talking about bets, I pretty much will not put my bet on him, just sayin.s

If he starts winning again, the boxing world will give him more upcoming fights, interesting fights that will

give him more money, you are right; he is still young and if he already overcomes that said issue back then there are many
opportunities that will be open to him. He just needs to be more active and his promoters need him to continue pushing
him to face much tougher opponents that will hype up his name.

That's the whole plan why and it's the same reason why they have picked Tagoe, it's because they know that Ryan Garcia could handle him just right and winning on this match will be a good a news because Tagoe isn't just an ordinary boxer just like what his record says.

Ryan Garcia has a promising future waiting for him so I really don't doubt that he will be defeated this time as this fight is also about hyping his name again in the industry and to make room for more opportunities with him in the future.

You can play around, maybe enjoy a bit by risking a little amount on that, but it's always up to you. A trap that everyone knows Garcia has a higher chance of winning, but greediness on the return will make them lose, I hope they'll not go all in with that odds.  :)

It's not that bad to bet a small generous amount on Tagoe winning against Ryan Garcia but for me, I couldn't get myself to bet on that. I mean we already know that it's just a trap that the bookies are trying to set because they know that the Tagoe's chances are only slim and that's why they are making that odds so tempting.

If they go all in, I'm afraid that they will be regretting that decision they made big time!

His promoters task right now is for Ryan to be in a good comeback fight, they don't just need a win they need to win in fashion the early and how impressive he dispose of Tagoe the better, they don't need a split or a unanimous decision they want it done via knock out because the way he wins will determine his next fight who and when he will fight again, Ryan has everything to lose while Tagoe has everything to gain, so the pressure is on Garcia.

Tagoe to reach 12 rounds, I think should have good odds. Ryan Garcia is a knockout artist, so bookmakers should give attractive odds for Ryan Garcia win by decision, I think it's more reasonable that betting on Tagoe to upset Garcia.

Yes, because it's not like the old fights of Garcia where he fights a popular fighter. Tagoe might have a good record but he is not popular in the boxing world, but let's see how the sales would go as the fight is approaching. I'm sure this fight would still be profitable although not as big as the previous fights of Ryan Garcia.

^^ Knock out artist though, doesn't look for an early knock out, it has to come and they don't want to force it otherwise they might get hit by one hail mary punch that will change the complexion of the fight.

So Ryan might be looking for a knockout, but it it doesn't come as expected, he needs to just play it and let Tagoe make that mistake that he can take Ryan's punch and then boom, perfect left hook.

The way I look at Ryan Garcia's fights, he is not that methodical of a fighter. And I think that's very normal in young fighters, especially those who have yet to taste humiliation from an opponent inside the ring. Ryan Garcia does not know what it feels to lose. He is undefeated. So nothing will probably change in his fighting ways. And he is that kind of fighter who is very confident and just fights because he knows he is better than the person in front of him. A KO is not planned or forced. It simply happens.

The closest we have seen Ryan almost losing a fight is against Campbell, he was put to canvass but he rose up immediately and then knock out Campbell.

Maybe if Ryan will be in the same predicament again, we might see him coming back and put a good show and knock out Tagoe for good. He is with a new trainer, so maybe we will see some resiliency in him, but the knock out is still possible in this fight because we are talking about a fighter who has a deadly left hook to boot.

Campbell was not known to have a good knockout power it's just Ryan has weakness on his chin, but that punch is not enough to Garcia in trouble and I don't see Tagoe winning this fight

It's 2 days more before the fight will happen, I'm surprised the odds for Tagoe is increase from 8.40x to 9.60x while Garcia still 1.05x. Seems more and more people were bet for Garcia only, perhaps it might reduced to 1.04x. I'm still waiting for the weight in, hope both of them didn't missed the weight.

What I disappointed is Campbell wasn't more aggressive when Garcia was knocked down. Garcia will feel intimidated and scared, but since there's no move... he can recover his mental and back on the track.

This is going to be another exciting fight, and not a one sided fight. Garcia had a long rest, had a surgery, and mental health treatment. However, the skills is always there and that explains why  he's the heavy favourite here.
While Tagoe is also an elite fighter, but Garcia obviously has all the advantage. Size, reach, agility, and power.
Though an upset is always inevitable, but only with a small chance.

The match is near it looks like based on the odds from gambling site Ryan Garcia has an advantage to the match I see that he easily defeat other fighters that is much older than him and it is a surprise how young he is and he still managed to make a name for himself. I would go with Ryan Garcia with this but it will be a tough match for a fighter that has a lot of experience from him.

That experience is nothing compared to Ryan Garcia's power only 2 days to go the poll is not who will win but what round Ryan will knock out Tagoe, Tagoe tried to be impressive in their face-off trying to provoke Ryan but comes fight night we'll see if he is brave enough to provoke Ryan, looking forward to watching this fight,

just to see if Ryan still has the power he's known for.

Tagoe's only chance to be impressive is on the faceoff and he really did a great job on that.  ;D

Ryan Garcia looks so firm, he is well conditioned by just looking at his form, I'm sure he will have an impressive win against Tagoe, but on the other hand, Tagoe would also get a chance to make an upset win.

I'm sure you'll see that power.  :)

Tagoe can really hold his own, although I somehow doubt he won't fare well against someone like Ryan Garcia. So far, Tagoe has merely a single defeat under his belt. If he can keep that ferocity going, then as they say, sky is the limit. With any luck and a few well placed punches, he might actually win this fight. Just because odds are in Garcia's side of the ring does not mean we won't get surprised.

Garcia has the better odds no doubt.

Being great in boxing can bring you a lot of fans so technically he’s a superstar and talented, because of his winning matches it attract more followers for him. Its sad to see someone suffering from a mental illness but its really good that we can see Garcia again to have a fight. I still expect the same thing from him, he’s great, fast and have a good punches, I’m confident that he will remain undefeated here.

What’s the current odds for this match?

There is something that has me very intrigued, how could they determine that he is already completely healthy? In this fight they must accept some kind of proof that he is in full normal health, right? I don't know to what extent they have a certain tolerance to put up with everything that has to do with this type of problem.
Currently, it should be taken into account that this business is driven by a lot of money, that this can make a difference, only that there are some little events that seem to be far above the real sport.

There's no need for him to prove that he is already healthy, the fact that he accepted this fight, means he believes in himself that he can beat Tagoe. We know that his popularity is at stake here, if he loses his fight, he won't have a bright future ahead in boxing.

In my opinion, we still don't know if he has recovered 100% mentally. Although he has accepted this fight, but the boxer they get? relatively unknown to us, maybe is just a get busy fight and a cherry pick for Ryan to look great again in his comeback. But who knows what is the state of his mind in this fight. Besides there is also this ring rust, but elite boxers can just totally shake the effect early and then fight like he has been his situation again. Anyhow, hopefully Ryan is good to go mentally.

Obviously, it's a cherry-pick.. why would Ryan Garcia choose an unknown fighter when he is even challenging champions? He even challenged Manny Pacquiao when the latter was still active. Ryan Garcia will consider this fight as a preparation for a serious fight, so it's understandable that the odds are not attractive betting on him.

As per Ryan Garcia, he is now working with a jab, he admitted that he hasn't used it in the past. But if he can developed this one, like his mentor and manager, Oscar Dela Hoya, it will be a different version of Garcia.

Just imagine this, he is tall and have the length advantage and with that jab, no one can get inside of him so that will be a very dangerous and difficult fighter to beat. So let's see if he is going to take advantage of his jab in this fight.

“The jab is definitely improving. In some of the past fights, I didn’t really use it,” said Garcia. “I’ll be looking forward to using my jab a little bit better in this fight. We all know that the jab is the key in the sport. It sets up a lot of shots. So I’ve been working on that. I have the talent to use pretty much any type of shot, right? If I could really master the jab, it can take me to another level.”

I am excited about the match does anyone here think that there would be a knock out or both fighters will stay until the end of 12 round? I see that Ryan is really a good puncher and he doesn't only have the power but the fast. The counters would definitely knocked Tagoe.

It's almost the match and both fighters preparing for this fight all I can say is that this is a good fight and interesting to watch cause they are both good fighter and in this juncture ill prefer to choose Ryan Garcia what you said above he is a good puncher and has a good footwork as well. But we can not still predict the winner cause tagoe is a good boxer as well for sure he will trained hard for this match so let see in the live.

Per record they are both great fighters, but to be honest, did we really know Tagoe before this fight was announced? For me, "NO", I never heard of his name in the conversation of great fighters, so I don't expect a lot from him, but let's still watch this game, who knows he might pull an upset.

Actually, Emmanuel Tagoe is a far more experienced boxer compared to Ryan Garcia. With only 1 loss, Tagoe's record is impressive overall although his current rankings tell it all how the gap is the distance between him and Ryan Garcia.

Bookies might think that the latter as much younger, can dominate Tagoe without a problem that's why in whatever aspects, Tagoe is the underdog in this match.

The fight is just over a day to go. We will now see the result of this fight, an upset by Tagoe or dominance by Garcia.

I expect dominance by Garcia, he always dominates fighters who are not on his level he has fast hands and this will be a big problem for Tagoe, I don't consider Tagoe a level A fighter because there's no boxer in his resume that can math up boxers on Ryan Garcia's resume, of all Garcia's match this is the most exciting one and it's a day to go after a long wait.

Tagoe's boxing stats are impressive, don't underestimate it. But against Garcia, we can really expect that he might not has the stuff to beat this prime and young boxer even though Garcia is not active in the ring for about a year. Bookies provide the odds to Garcia that it seems impossible for Tagoe to beat him.

There might be bettors who are willing to risk placing a bet for Tagoe as the odds are really good risks. Upset is still possible as Tagoe is not that dumb to just allow Garcia to control the whole fight. His experience will teach him how to counter against a prime boxer.

The fight tonight will now show us if Tagoe is really nothing against Garcia. I hope even a bit, he won't give Garcia a sure win.

I've watched the weight in.

I thought Tagoe is bigger than Garcia, but I'm wrong lol. I see Garcia is overconfident and I don't know why he act like fighting with a champion. Tagoe is non known boxer, no one is really expecting Tagoe win here and no need to create the hype. The fight will happen tomorrow, let's see how their spirit for TOMORROW :P

Both of them are overconfident, Tagoe even said to the media that Ryan is an easy fight and he can't stand Tagoe's smoke, Lol. But we will see, I didn't know that this is in a catch weight though, but no problem, both of them have agreed and make the weight so no issues at all. So we will see if what he is saying is true, or if King Ryan is back and take the 135-140 lbs.

I see Garcia is overconfident and I don't know why he act like fighting with a champion.

I don't see anything wrong with that. It just shows Ryan Garcia is considering Emmanuel Tagoe, not an easy opponent to deal with. I like that attitude compared to being an easy-go boxer just because Garcia is the heavy favorite. If that's how he treats Tagoe then definitely, he will go all-in and that's what we want to see.

Tagoe's chance of winning this fight is seen as slim by the bookies but not totally we can't conclude that this is an easy fight for Ryan Garcia.

It's just roughly around 8 hours before the event will start. The event has undercards so expect around 2 hours of waiting before the main event depending on the outcome of those first matches.

Its so excited to watch cause these two boxer are really good and now let see who is the strongest among these two professional boxer. We all know that Garcia is more favorite to the crowd than Tagoe but we can not say he will easily win in this match cause based on what I saw earlier Tagoe trained hard and he has a chance to win this match, but all our doubts will be answered the match is over

The scorecards are in. Judges Tom Carusone and Ellis Johnson both score the bout 119 to 108, while Lisa Giampa has it a tad closer at 118-109, all in favor of Garcia.

Latest update: Ryan Garcia is back via unanimous decision win against Tagoe, not the kind of fight that we want to see, we want an explosive Garcia and knock out Tagoe but Ryan is having a hard time because Tagoe is always on the run and hugging Ryan I like it better this way Ryan shows aggressiveness and endurance it's hard to chance a fighter who is running away, Tagoe is a big disappointment on this fight.

That's what those boxers do when they felt the power of their opponent except for the few warriors who actually clash with their opponent in the middle of the ring even though their opponent's punches are explosives. We saw earlier a fighter that doesn't really suffice our expectations which is not really bad at all because Ryan stayed undefeated and can still showcase his boxing skills for us in his future big fights.

Fighting for survival, that's what on Tagoe's mind going into the fight. Ryan is bigger than him and has heavy hands so we can't blame Tagoe for fighting scared. With DAZN handling his career now, I hope that they will maximize his potential and not rush him with a championship fight at this stage of his career. Good that he is not calling out champions anymore lol.

Nice... I didn't see that coming, I was thinking that Ryan Garcia could KO Tagoe but Tagoe was literally playing a survival mode. Nice with by Garcia, this fight tells the fans that he is prepared to engage in a real fight. Congrats @bisdak40, that's a wonderful odds.

Yeah, it was very clear that Tagoe strategy is not to engage Ryan and just run, and as you can see the crowd is not very happy and you can hear the boos. But you can't do anything about it, if the other one doesn't want to fight toe to toe then it's not Ryan's fault. Nevertheless, a win is a win so he is back and it seems that he has matured though, no more name calling after the fight.

I even forget that this fight was scheduled for today. I missed it badly, I could have had an opportunity to win like bisdak. haha. Anyway, better luck next time for me, that 4.75 odds is really a good one, can't have that most of the time especially in boxing fights.

It takes two to Tango and Tagoe is not cooperative, he is not there to win he is just there to hang on, he doesn't want a knockout coming from Ryan on his resume, he wants one of the guys who extends Ryan to a full 10 rounds, it's very disappointing to see a match like this, but what can you expect from a b or c level fighter.
Ryan still has to fight a fighter coming from top levels to assure himself that the demons are all gone, baed on this fight it's not yet, you are not getting a good mark fighting guys like this.

It is expected that he will just hang on with Ryan because he is afraid to get knock out. And too much for him talking about him giving Ryan a hard time, hhehehe. He is obvious just a cherry pick for Ryan to knock out though, but it didn't happen but still good for him to take this win and boost his confidence again.

On the below article, it discusses the flaws of Garcia -

So for the next boxer who will fight Garcia, he may want to check out those above pointers.
But he may change his tactics as it was like a comeback fight after a long break.
Though it is a cherry pick for Garcia, Tagoe managed to finished the 12 rounds but he was more on the Rigo's style here.

Tagoe is trying to avoid those solid punches from Garcia. Those punches that landed on him keep bringing him down. It's nice to see Garcia is back on his rhythm expect more quality fights after this. Garcia is still young and now that he is back, for sure, promoters will take these opportunities to call for another sensational fighter to take him.

Congrats to all those who won too bad we don't see toe-to-toe engagements between the two, but likewise, a win still a win.

Tagoe tried to entertain Garcia and tried to exchange some of that blows but in the first few rounds he suddenly realized that he cannot withstand those punches and he can't keep up with his speed, so the only last resort is to try and survive the fight without getting a defeat by a KO. Later on, it's like I'm seeing Rigo again hehe.

Now, Ryan Garcia is back. We'll see if they can get a fight with Kambosos Jr.

Garcia had speculated to finish off the fight 3-4th round but he had missed it out due for Tagoe is really keeps on evading and running and its true that i do see Rigo on him but somewhat he do really make out

some good counters too and this guy does have that stamina considering on lasting 12 rounds.The fight ends up on UD and i dont see that Garcia is really in good shape yet those punches are little bit off
and most of them are swings not into that typical precise shots made. Just because of new trainer?

Tagoe managed to exposed the weakness of Ryan Garcia that is nice that he managed to do it but the problem is if Garcia is now fulfilling this shortcomes he has but I think a few months of training is not enough though even if he can train those weaknesses I think it is not yet or far to be perfect.

I like to ask, what was the weakness you are talking about?

Sorry, because I believe Ryan Garcia really dominated the fight and Tagoe was just there to survive and take a good cut on that fight.
Did Tagoe even hurt Ryan Garcia? If Tagoe goes for a toe to toe fight, for sure that would not last 12 rounds.

But, I don't think so since Ryan Garcia can change his style and even he fights a boxer it will depend if they can make up with him with his speed.

I thought that Garcia could really make that happen because he managed to knock down Tagoe in the 2nd round, but the latter became so fast on escaping Garcia's punches while he's trying to shake that effect and he realized that he can't just defeat Ryan Garcia with his current power.

In the first 2 rounds, yes a good counters can be seen from Tagoe but after he knocked down he don't usually go and exchange punches as it could really put him in a dangerous situation where he could be knocked out. Also, I think that he already had that stamina because he didn't fight Garcia for a toe-to-toe because if he did then he wouldn't last 12 rounds as he would be gassed out first.

Garcia dominated the fight? Please watch the replay and you will see he is having difficulty.

I think you are just referring to the boxer's name and don't bother to watch even the highlights. Tagoe put Ryan on his limits and we should give him credit for that. Ryan is not even satisfied with his performance even though he wins.

Agree with the above, OP can now consider locking this thread as we might see other analysis that is supposedly not associated on the fight.

I agree! Ryan Garcia himself isn't really satisfied to his own performance about the fight and he also admitted that he have a lot of aspects that he needed to improve to make his punch more fatal because he already have the agility to do it. Even if Tagoe was defeated by Garcia, he needs to have that credits because he managed to expose the latter's weaknesses and one of those weaknesses was the lack of defense that got him knocked down when he faced Campbell before.

Either way, Garcia's victory isn't that much of a big deal because it was just a UD. IMO :)

I don't think he as exposed, it's that that Tagoe just make the fight difficult for Ryan because of style clash.

On the contrary, Ryan has admitted that he doesn't like his performance so he will try and go and improved the next time he fights. And this is going to be work on with his new coach and for sure Goosen has seen a lot of flaws from Ryan that he will have to addressed on the next training season with him.

It's fine mate, there's no use to think anymore because the fight is already done and wether we like it or not, Tagoe exposed him on what Ryan Garcia needs to improve and I'm seeing that it could benefit Garcia because he will know more what is needed to be done especially his jab.

The important thing is that Garcia have admitted that he lacks in that specific aspect and Tagoe did a good job to make the fight difficult for him.

If you have a nice track on how Garcia fights on his previous matches then you could really able to notice the difference of his jabs when it comes to precision and swiftness but this one do really lacks of that but somehow you could really still see that it is really fast but not really that much on the same when he was still before.

Ring rust and this is where people do speculate about it but it doesnt matter though and as been said that it did really show off on what are the flaws or problems that needs to adjust and
thanks to Tagoe to be the guinea pig. :D

I think that is one weapon they wanted Garcia to developed and surely he used it a lot in this fight. And also we have to say that moving from one coach to another really affected the way he fight in this one.

And that's why it was a sort of 'different' version of him, that's why boxing fans and experts then try to find fault on his game plan and execution. And because he didn't get a knock out victory. But still, the kid is growing and for sure big fights for him are being set up by GBP after the Tagoe fight.

Lots had been saying that this was because of the new coach/trainer on why he fight up that way.You could really see his footsteps arent really that the same as before or he just simply underestimating Tagoe?

Cant really be denied the difference in power and speed but we are expecting  something more than that because thats not how Garcia punches but well what matter most is he ended up on UD.

Adjustments could be made later on if there are really some lapses or major changes which it isnt appealing.

Anyways, he still have the power and agility needed. He can still make up for his mistakes and improve to be a much more better boxer than his latest performance.
