This two is supposed to fight same month last year, but Ryan has to pull out because of his mental health issues.
Ryan was offered to fight Isaac Cruz as ordered by the WBC as a title eliminator, unfortunately, Golden Boy says no to the fight.
Anyhow, this is still a good tune up fight for Ryan before he go with Davis (that is if he will GBP will allow it)
GBP just want to go to the motions of having this fight, as mentioned it was postponed so it make sense that they will have to continue it despite Javier losing to Jojo Diaz.
So yeah, the odds is on the side of Ryan to beat Javier and then move on to more lucrative target in this stack division. The most awaited is the Davis vs Garcia, but we will see. As mentioned by Leonard Ellerbe during the post fight interview from Davis win against Romero, GBP is reluctant to have their cash cow be pitted against Tank, although Garcia was in the ringside and even beat against Davis, him and Spence had a gentleman's bet of $10K. And so obviously, Garcia lost the bet here.
