[BOXING]: RYAN GARCIA vs EMMANUEL TAGOE - April 9

[Saisher]

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.

We can only believe what his trainer and his promoters bring out to the public until we see the actual fight, we will see the outcome in the minutes of the first round and second round

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.

There are always bettors that will always take their chances both fighters trained hard and can land big punches it goes out to execution

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.

Ryan is a sure bet but still I want Tagoe to give him a good fight, he has come a long to lose easily

[btc_angela]

Of course, we don't want a one side beating here, Tagoe should show us something and not allow Ryan to take control and win the fight easily. There is no pressure on his side, all he has to do is perform better than expected and then see how it goes for Ryan. If he choke and shows signs of ring rust then maybe Tagoe will pull an upset. But if Ryan is physically and mentally prepared, expect a knock out early.

Here is the official weigh-in:

Move to 1:40 to see Ryan, that kid has some swag but obviously, both obviously are very ripped and ready to go.

If some of you are questioning why the fight is not the desired weight of 135 lbs, it was agreed that this fight is going to be on a catchweight of 139 lbs.

Maybe in the next fight we will see Ryan moving up to 140 lbs as obviously he can't fit that huge frame of his to 135 lbs.

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

Who's much bigger is non-sense when they are targeting a catchweight. Tagoe is not popular only here in the forum lol. He is popular in the boxing community and he won't be considered to be the next opponent for Garcia if he's not popular. He only has 1 defeat in his entire career.

I'm with Ryan Garcia here to win the fight but I don't like to treat Tagoe as a trash boxer. There's no creation of hype here for him to win as basically, it won't have a direct effect after all. Can't believe just because you didn't know the boxer, you are putting too much negativity on him. I respect your view as everyone is entitled to it.

Garcia seems overconfident every weight in but I guess, despite all the underestimation, he will still have a hard time facing Tagoe though Garcia would still have an edge because he's young and always aggressive. Ryan will take this as another opportunity to make noise on the boxing community again.

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.

[Distinctin]

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.

As per record, Emmanuel Tagoe is more experienced than Ryan Garcia and yes with only 1 loss, and that surely is an advantage to him because we count experience here. But going into Tagoe's past fights, he didn't even fought near Ryan Garcia's league and surely he will be overwhelmed here. I'm not Garcia's fan but comparing them makes me go into the latter's side. Also, don't forget that this fight is cherry picked so I don't think they will picked any opponent that Garcia cannot defeat.

Ryan's confidence is justified he is Ryan Garcia he must show that he is on the right comeback trail, both of them hug in their weigh-in but I expect an action-packed fight, Ryan will prove to the boxing world that he is ready and Tagoe wants to shock the world, this is his one time shot to greatness, but unfortunately, he is fighting a hungry Ryan Garcia this time, cherry-picked fight?
We'll see that when the bell rings.

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

He was always like that since I've followed this kid, that may be the reason why Reynoso and him part ways because the former doesn't like his attitude of not being focus. He loved the attention he got on social media and calling out champions likes Kambosos as if he has the belt of that division.

Today's fight is for Garcia to look good on his ring return and the betting here is on what round he would knockout Tagoe. Since the odds of Garcia winning by KO is not so attractive, I would go for Garcia winning by decision @4.50. Not really expecting a lot on this bet ticket but it's worth a try.

Few hours from now and we will see if Tagoe has something under his sleeves to counter Garcia. It is true that Garcia is highly favorite here but we should not ignore the fact that Tagoe has good boxing record also. He knows he is up against with the more popular boxer so let us see if he will do his job to challenge Garcia inside the ring.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
