Do Ryan and Bernard Hopkins has a beef?
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/6bytr02m4_M
Probably this is a sign that Golden Boy and Ryan Garcia are really not in terms. I don't know what is the terms between Ryan and Golden Boy, but if it seems that this could be his last fight with Oscar's promotion.
Or is this the way that they wanted to promote this fight as everyone knows that as much as Oscar Duarte looks good in paper, this is a total mismatch and so they need to create more hype in this fight?
Topic: [Boxing] Ryan Garcia vs Oscar Duarte (December 2) - page 4. (Read 1089 times)
Duarte is far from being elite, this is just a test for him. GBP pick a good fighter for Ryan. Sort of more to build his confidence back. We can only see improvements on Ryan if let's say a Teo Lopez fight or any of the top 5 boxers in this division.
Teofimo revealed that he turned down a $1.5 million offer to fight Ryan Garcia. Perhaps it was a bit of a lowball offer from Golden Boy, but I also don't think Teo is worth nearly as much as he thinks he is. The long layoff due to Covid and personal issues followed by a loss to Kambosos and a lackluster split decision win against Sandor Martin really hurt his value.
Ryan still has several options but at 140 the only champion he is capable of beating, in my opinion, is Rolly Romero. That should be his next target if he beats Duarte.
~
But the odds shows that Garcia is the favorite, Duarte is a long shot, a huge 4:1 underdog in this fight. So I don't see this going into full 12 rounds, and it could end in a knockout win by Ryan Garcia. Even the over and under, it's listed at 8.5 rounds.
Ryan Garcia is the favorite but he is coming back to this fight against Oscar Duarte after an upset loss in the last fight and the import thing is that Ryan Garcia has changed his fight camp completely after the loss and now he is with the new trainer and he was complaining about his weight cut, so it is interesting to see how he returns after the loss with a new head coach.But the odds shows that Garcia is the favorite, Duarte is a long shot, a huge 4:1 underdog in this fight.

This will be a good one to bet if you happen to believe on Duarte's boxing skills.
Your money can easily be multiplied if upset will happen on this match.
Also, we will see if there will be improvement on Garcia's side. Is he ready to face elite boxers?

Duarte on the other hand, has very good record as well. So Garcia's camp should have not taken this fight lightly.
Duarte is only 27 years old with 26-1-1 record. So not bad at all, he has the capacity to upset Garcia in my opinion.

And that is somewhat what most of the fans see, a good record, high percentage of knockout. But has he face a fighter with Ryan Garcia's caliber before? And in addition, this is Oscar's first time to go to 140 lbs, so maybe there will be questions if he can bring his power to the new weight class.

You've got a point there mate, but this is Garcia's fight and he should win it. If things go sour and it goes the full 12 rounds, for sure the judges will favor Garcia if nothing significant that somehow could sway the fight in favor of Duarte.
I've read on his social media that he will go for the Davis rematch but not sure about what weight because if that would still be held at 135-pound then the outcome would still be the same but I don't also think that Davis would go up in weight to fight him so most likely he would a rematch would not happen if Garcia won't go down in weight.
It just what the fight will be like because if Garcia can't finish with knockout victory and it ends in the 12th round then there is also chance that Duarte will win.
But let just wait, we'll really see how it goes and can see whether Garcia will be what we expect or not.
Indeed, there are rumors that Garcia could have rematch with Davis, but yes, it is also true that there are weight issues between the two that make it possible that they will never be the same.
But if there is rematch, it will be quite dangerous for Garcia because if he loses again to Davis, you can be sure that Garcia name will decline drastically.

Which means sport bookies knows that again, this fight is not going to last, the judges scorecard won't dictate who will win. And Ryan Garcia is the clear favorite and so with that, this is a comeback fight for him to show that he still be a great fighter at this new weight class and will be announcing his arrival with a great victory against Duarte.

Boxing is not a beauty pageant your skill and power and your behavior are what will get you more support and fans boxing is mainly a man's sport so looks don't matter, Garcia gained a lot of fans because of his speed and skill that he showed off in his social media account and the way he fights but if he keeps losing like the way he loses against Gervonta I don't think he can maintain his followers and supporters, you will only retain your supporters if you keep on winning but once you take a lot of losses your reputation and popularity will slide.
That's right and the pressure is on this guy because he was all hyped and it was proved by Davis in their last fight now that he already got his first loss, he should strive to improve himself by not exaggerating in his videos rather he needs to show the world how skillful he is in this upcoming fight. Honestly, he cannot afford to lose this one and expect to have a blockbuster fight once again, he needs to keep winning in order to convince the fans that he deserves to be watched and supported in all of his fights.
I do think that Ryan Garcia still has the hype behind him, even if he get his first lost against Tank Davis. I mean Davis is one of the best on that division, we can argue that he is, besides the unified champion in Devin Haney. So there's nothing that he can do in that weight and there are many stipulations that go against him when he sign the contract. So they are slowing rebuilding his name again by fighting a good knockout artist but haven't been in 140 lbs in Oscar Duarte. It's just me though, even if he afford to lose, maybe he can salvage his career but it might take sometime again. Just like what AJ is right now, back to back loses from Usyk, and yet he is still wanted to fight and will have to go against Wilder in the future as both of them have tune up fights schedule.
Well, Ryan has over 10 million followers on Instagram which made him rich even if he stops boxing. So I can't blame him for his exaggerated videos because he's got a lot of fans on social media. But I'm a hardcore boxing fan so I want him to get knocked out again.
I think majority here is at least a knowledgeable boxing fans, not hardcore but know their boxing. Maybe it wall started with the Manny Pacman bandwagon or they really love the sports of boxing.
I don't know if Tank Davis is one of the best in the division because he's unproven. He's been in the division for years already but he never thought about fighting for the belts except talking and hyping himself. Haney, Shakur, Loma, and even Kambosos fought for the belts and proved their place in the division. I heard Kambosos and Loma might fight for the vacant IBF belt if Haney wins over Prograis. I guess Tank can get a free belt since his paper belt can be elevated by the WBA as its real champion if Haney vacates all his belts in favor of staying at 140.
I do agree, Tank doesn't have the belt at least at 135 lbs because Haney have it. He fought Garcia for the obvious reason of the biggest paycheck that he will get and I think he will continue to do that. So we might not see him fighting the likes of Haney or Shakur yet, yeah, I also saw that news about Loma and Kambosos, and as far as we remember that is the place before, however, Loma changes everything when he goes to his native country to defend and then Kambosos losing the belt already. But still good though to see them fight, all in-house money again for TR.

The fight is only matter of days because in less than week they will actually meet and this is the first fight for Ryan Garcia after previously experiencing fatigue for the first time against Gervonta Davis.
In this fight, it looks like Garcia will experience some pressure because Oscar Duarte is quite tough fighter.
This is fight to save his name because after the knockout loss to Davis and of course Garcia must win this fight to stay at the peak of his career.
Moreover, this fight is also the beginning for him with the new coach, Derrick James.
Who knows what the final result will be but Oscar Duarte won't just give up and he will put up fight that will really make Garcia feel the pressure for the second time.

Who knows what the final result will be but Oscar Duarte won't just give up and he will put up fight that will really make Garcia feel the pressure for the second time.
The pressure to win is so much on Team Ryan Garcia considering that he is coming from a knockout loss to Tank Davis.
But we should also note that Oscar Duarte is a 135-pound fighter/boxer, meaning this would be his first fight at 140 which Ryan Garcia is comfortable at. I don't know if Duarte still has that power at 140 but definitely, this fight favors Garcia though on paper, this an interesting match but the truth to it is that for me this is still a cherry-picked opponent.
If he wins, maybe there is chance to stay at the top, but if he loses, it is very likely that he will lose the popularity at the peak of his career when he was previously an undefeated boxer.
So that what is meant by not being equal because the difference between the two is around 5 pound and from this difference, Oscar Duarte is also not an easy fighter to beat so the situation will become complicated if Garcia loses.
But this is the fight that Garcia chose and he really wants him to be able to fight Oscar Duarte in the fight after his defeat.
You've got a point there mate, but this is Garcia's fight and he should win it. If things go sour and it goes the full 12 rounds, for sure the judges will favor Garcia if nothing significant that somehow could sway the fight in favor of Duarte.

Hopefully though, Garcia will not be obsessed of chasing that rematch. I mean if he wins here, there are a lot of fighters that he can face and still make a lot of money. Forget about that rematch, and look first for a great win at 140 lbs against Duarte.

The pre-fight odds are reflecting exactly this, people seem to be favoring Garcia heavily, even though he has less fights to his name, but he's younger and ranked higher. They put these two against each other bacause they both have just a single loss, so on paper this looks like a good match, like they both have a lot to lose, but Duarte is going to need some mistakes from Garcia to win. If they both are in good form on the day of the fight he will be at a disadvantage and people know it, which is why bookies are paying much more if you bet on Duarte.
It's not surprising at all since Garcia is a popular boxer and became a champion before getting KO'd by Tank Davis, while Duarte has not won a championship yet, and his current division ranking is not even in the top 3. So, I can't blame people for thinking that this is just a cherry-picked fight for Garcia to increase his ranking after his loss to Davis. Regardless, I still consider this fight interesting for the reason that Duarte is a KO artist.

Garcia still attracts a lot of boxing fans but they need to see a Garcia who can become a multi-title boxing champion, not a social media king, and this will be answered on December 2.
He is a total package, handsome, knows how to use his mouth, and boasted of a lot of followers from his social media account. And if I'm not mistaken, he could be the most followed boxer, or at least top 3 or top 5.
You can remove the 'handsome' part, as I'm quite certain that's not the primary reason why he has numerous fans eager to watch his fights. Besides, most boxing fans are men, and the focus is on a real fighter who can dominate opponents in the ring and deliver an impressive win.
I believe the reason he has a good number of fans is his ability to generate buzz by talking a lot. He easily captures attention and gains traction in the boxing world.
He has the talent definitely and he can back him his talk, not until he faces Tank Davis and he was just over run by Tank. He has a solid career though, even before he become a pro, I think he has some buzz in his name in the amateurs and around the California area.
And when he turn pro, he was compare to Oscar, who is also like him, pretty boy and has the charisma not only to boxing fans, but also non-boxing fans specially the ladies.
But first, if he wants to continue with his fame and the money that it is going for him, he needs to get pass Duarte first in December 2.
One loss shouldn't be the determining factor for him to quit his career. In fact, I commend him for his bravery in facing a boxer who had the potential to defeat him. Unlike other boxers who carefully select opponents to maintain a clean record, Ryan chose to take on a challenging fight against Davis. While he may have garnered some critics, he showcased courage in providing a good fight, even though he lost via KO.
I do agree, and I didn't say anything about a loss that could make him retire, he is still very young, if he is like in his 30's maybe he will retire for good like Hatton when he faces Pacquiao and same with Margarito.
He is young and as I have said, everyone in boxing is being motivated by money and fame, so he will definitely go and continue with his career as he knows he can make a lot of money at his prime years. Just a matter on how he is going to carve his career after that lost to Tank Davis. So if he wins against Duarte at 140 lbs, there are a lot of big names in this divisions that he can fight and get big paycheck after paycheck.

Of course looks might be a bonus but Ryan Garcia boxing skills and charisma that truly package a punch with the fans. I'll go with King Ryan for this match.
For fans expecting a Bromance lol De la Hoyaa had this charisma as well when he started boxing that's why he is called Golden Boy. And seeing Ryan was ditched by his wife, a Bromance opportunity will be likely for those with a pronoun.
Will he ever KO Duarte? Many of the bettors will expect so and Ryan is the fave.
Garcia, Ryan 1.23
Duarte, Oscar 3.90

He is a total package, handsome, knows how to use his mouth, and boasted of a lot of followers from his social media account. And if I'm not mistaken, he could be the most followed boxer, or at least top 3 or top 5.
You can remove the 'handsome' part, as I'm quite certain that's not the primary reason why he has numerous fans eager to watch his fights. Besides, most boxing fans are men, and the focus is on a real fighter who can dominate opponents in the ring and deliver an impressive win.
I believe the reason he has a good number of fans is his ability to generate buzz by talking a lot. He easily captures attention and gains traction in the boxing world.
I'm talking about his social media presence because that factor also includes why Ryan Garcia is popular. Take for example his Twitter (X) account, https://twitter.com/RyanGarcia. It has almost 300,000 followers, do you think all of them is boxing fans? Of course, not, majority of the followers could be ladies, because of his good looks (no homo).
And again we compare him to his boss Oscar Dela Hoya, this is an old 17 year article from the Internet.

De La Hoya, for his part, can’t match Ali’s braggadocio, nor does he try. That’s not to say, however, that people don’t take notice of his looks. But where Ali gained fans by actively outshining the opposition, De La Hoya has actually lost support due to his slick appearance. Why hate a fighter for being beautiful?

So perhaps that's one reason as well why there are some hate on Ryan Garcia.
I think a lot of women are also following Ryan just like Oscar when he was still fighting. Oscar used to be cheered by a lot of women even during his weigh-ins. Although Oscar is more decorated being a gold medalist in the Olympics before becoming a 6 division world champion. But Oscar marketed Ryan just like himself who also started from humble beginnings. Both have similar storylines as both are inspired by their moms and were marketed as sweet handsome kids who have ambitions to conquer. Ryan at 20 years old purchasing his mom a brand new house and a Mercedes became a trend outside the boxing community. Ryan is also more active on Instagram with over 10 million followers and it made him financially well.
