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

[btc_angela]

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.

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'd rather see Ryan Garcia fighting Teo Lopez so he could teach this guy a lesson.

Loma is just too focused for him, I'd say it's a 50/50 fight but if he will fight Teo ( if Teo agrees) and beat him, that would be 2 straight losses for Teo, and for sure Teo will not make an excuse again. However, that will only happen if Garcia will beat Tagoe first which is definitely not hard to do for him.

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.

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.

Yeah, that is the catch in this fight, he might be the next victim of Garcia if he thinks that he can take his punch.

It's a opportunity so he just grab it. There could be some motivation from behind, and the obvious one is money. Well Garcia was knock down in his last fight, but was able to get up and knock out his opponent, so I don't think that is weaknesses, on the contrary, he should his resiliency and his ability to recover fast even after he has knock down surprisingly by Campbell. Doest Tagoe possesses the same or even more power than Campbell? I doubt it.

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.

For sure you may have missed the news:

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.”

https://www.ringtv.com/620707-ryan-garcia-battling-mental-health-issues-withdraws-from-javier-fortuna-bout/

This was last year's news, so now this is his comeback fight that's why the argument is that he could be affected somewhat in this fight, or if he is over with his issues. And that's why they chooses Tagoe, sort of an easy fight for Ryan to bring back his faith in himself.

I agree. Even though these heavy favorites has the control inside the ring and it already looks that they will win, there's still a chance that these underdogs will upset them and it doesn't really matter if the chances are slim as it is still a chance and the fight isn't yet concluded until until the announcer do so.

Tagoe might be an unknown boxer for most of us but based on his experience, I really think that this man could really test Garcia's strengths and capabilities.

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.

“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

After being inactive for more than a year and amid Ryan Garcia's alleged mental problems that he is facing comes a fight against Emmanuel Tagoe and will happen this 9th of April.

The two have been respectful with each other on their recent kick-off press conference with the same goal in mind and that is to win.

This will going to be an interesting fight, Garcia is looking forward to freshen up his name and defeating Tagoe will help him climb the ladder to face Kambosos Jr. while Tagoe here is also looking forward for a win to open more doors of opportunity in his career.

[Viscore]

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.

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.

Indeed, I will also assume that we will going to see a tough toe-to-toe match next month on this fight and certainly, Tagoe will take this as a challenge just like what he said on the last press conference. I know he will go all out because Garcia is his ticket in the industry to be famous and get more professional fights that have a higher pay cut than he ever did before.

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.

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.

[goinmerry]

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.

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.
