It would be a bad sign if Ryan faced someone like Fortuna or Emmanuel Tagoe in his prep bout in January because that would reinforce the view among savvy boxing fans that he he’s nothing but an Instagram/social media fighter on the same level as YouTubers Jake Paul and KSI. In other words, boxing trash instead of quality stuff.
At this point in Ryan’s career, he needs to start fighting good opponents at 135 & 140 rather than the hilly and little-known fodder he’s raving about to make him She looks better than she does now.
“He’ll probably have to fight someone everyone knows, everyone respects to some extent, and maybe a guy is at least as good as [Javier] Fortuna or better,” said Akin Reyes to boxing DAZN about the tuning fight for Ryan Garcia in January.
“We don’t have people saying, ‘Look at Gervonta Davis fighting January 7 in Washington, DC, and now look who Ryan Garcia is fighting for his correction.’
It’s pathetic that Ryan fought Fortuna in his final fight rather than one of the talented opponents at 135 lb.
