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.

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.

[izsara]

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

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.

[YOSHIE]

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.

[Masplanc]

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 he looks young.  Tagoe is an experienced fighter but I doubt if it will be easy for him to defeat Ryan.

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?

it's been over a year he hasn't played after the last game he won against Campbell and now he's back playing with quite a bit of ambition.
Even though he is quite young he does have quite good self-control and this is very good to watch.
In my opinion, he is a fighter who is quite unique and has his own unique style of fighting. He has good intuition and can control the rhythm of fighting, so it will be very difficult for the enemy to bluff Ryan.
what is more important than him is his left hand which is very strong and I really want to see his death blow in the fight against Tagoe

[stadus]

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.

[crzy]

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.

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

though Tagoe is unfamiliar to most boxing fans, he already earned good record even if most of them were just in his home country. so you can't disregard his experience inside the boxing ring. ryan garcia has his own advantage because he is already popular among international boxing fans. with his youth, he can use this as a very good advantage to fight older opponents.
maybe, the reason why he was inactive for the past couple of years was because of this pandemic. a lot of fights got delayed and delayed so for me that's understandable. however, during those dull years he should keep himself in shape and active so it is not that hard to regain his strength.

[chaser15]

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.

I think it should be right?

It's kind of irrelevant if your own promoter doesn't believe you will win lol.

I also don't think he will pressure as he already knows what's the stake there if he loses.

Can he beat Tagoe via KO?

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.

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's been a while now since he fought Campbell last year, it was an intense close fight! I also read somewhere that he was supposed to fight JoJo Diaz (a former world champion) last year but sadly he suffered a severe hand injury while training for the fight and had to undergo surgery, that's why the fight didn't happen. Now, he will face a 33 year old experienced boxer. If Garcia can manage to knock Tagoe out then it would really promote his name even more.

Can he beat Tagoe via KO?

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.

Earlier I watched Tagoe's recent fights, well the man's good but certainly he doesn't have that speed/agility that Garcia has to keep up to him and also his KO rates are much more lower compared to Garcia's rate. IMO, Garcia has the upper hand here in this fight and yes the kid has learned his lesson against Campbell so I suppose that he will likely avoid it so it won't happen to him again.

Ryan's current record is 21-0 and this is not something to be taken lightly because not many people can do this.
His motivation is also quite good and his ambition is still not extinguished. On the other hand, the speed and accuracy of his punches cannot be taken lightly, even Campbell fell to his knees against this young fighter.
Tagoe also has a good chance. Moreover, Tagoe's record can be said to be quite good, but if we look at most of the wins that Tagoe has scored in his country and indeed this could be something different when against someone who is not from his territory.

It happened when he fought Campbell didn't it? I even saw him almost lost 2 rounds 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.
