Ryan Garcia

Malik Smith breaks down Saturday's boxing matchup between Ryan Garcia and Javier Fortuna at Crypto.com Arena.

Either way, I don’t love the -225 odds on Garcia to win by knockout, even though he certainly has the motivation and skill to get a statement win. Garcia came back to win in the seventh round, but the knockdown exposed his inexperience. If instead Garcia stands around too much and looks to land his powerful left hand, I would expect Fortuna to put pressure on him and make him fight off his back foot. Garcia’s past four fights have been the real proving ground for him after building up his record, and the results have been a mixed bag. Should Garcia be this much of a favorite against his toughest competition to date? Garcia will get the chance to prove his detractors wrong when he steps into the ring to face Javier Fortuna (37-3-1, 26 KO) Saturday night in Los Angeles.

A win vs. But every time he’s faced an A-level fighter (or even a B-plus level fighter), he’s fallen. With Garcia the -1400 favorite (bet $1,400 to win $100), Fortuna walks into the ring as a +825 underdog (win $825 on a $100 wager). Considering Fortuna was +500 when the fight was first announced and was +600 about three weeks ago, most people have been throwing their money on Garcia. Betting Fortuna at more than 8/1 could be a great play. If you like Garcia, you could get him at +240 to win by decision or -250 to win by stoppage. Ryan Garcia vs. “Ryan is a good fighter, but we hope that this time around he doesn't have any excuses not to fight me,” Fortuna said, referring to the postponement of their clash during the time when Garcia was taking time away from boxing. “It doesn't matter if you are not 100%.

Ryan Garcia looked impressive at 140 pounds and called out Gervonta Davis after the win. But can that fight be made?

After all the trash talk and insults, "Tank" Davis is the only opponent who matters for Garcia. And now that Garcia is once again active, with two fights in four months, along with a statement win over Fortuna, the time is ripe for Garcia and Davis to finally meet in one of the biggest fights in all of boxing. Undisputed lightweight champion Devin Haney has indicated he'll jump up to 140 pounds sooner than later (probably after a rematch with George Kambosos Jr. this fall). If Garcia can't land Davis before the end of the year, those are some of the names he could be looking at, but it would be a consolation prize at this stage. Two explosive punchers with lightning-quick hands and large followings to boot, it's the kind of fight boxing desperately needs. After all, Davis sold out Brooklyn's Barclays Center for his May KO of Rolando Romero and packed over 15,000 into Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles when he outpointed Isaac Cruz in December. But he's going to want to do it ... there's going to be riots if he don't want to do it. "I'm never going back down to 135, I'm going to stay at 140, I'm going to fight 'Tank' Davis if he wants it at 140," Garcia, 23, said.

By Miguel Maravilla After announcing he will be campaigning in the 140lb division from now on, unbeaten boxing contender Ryan Garcia (23-0, 19 KOs) talked.

There appear to be multiple roadblocks to making a Gervonta Davis vs Ryan Garcia fight, but will it happen this year?

A lot of money to put into it. A lot of people who will need to be paid. It’s a lot to overcome. A lot of egos. And with this matchup being talked up so much, maybe there really is just so much money on the table and the timing is borderline perfect. Even at 135, he hasn’t looked like the fighter he was at 130, though he is still very, very good at worst, and that goes for 140, too.

Ryan Garcia (23-0, 19 KOs) manages to secure his 19th career knockout by dominating Javier Fortuna.

El púgil estadounidense de origen mexicano dio un golpe sobre la mesa noqueando al ex campeón mundial Javier 'El Abejón' Fortuna.

Ante Fortuna, García aplicó la famosa frase de redes sociales: "tenía que decirse y se dijo". En esencia, dio un golpe sobre la mesa. Después de aquel éxito, García renunció a combates contra Jorge Linares y el propio Fortuna. Usó la distancia, su alcance y la paciencia como aliados, todos signos de madurez. El muchachito que él había prometido castigar se transfiguró en su verdugo, obligándolo a renunciar, no sin antes hacerle besar la lona en los rounds 4, 5 y 6. 'The King Ry' estuvo a su aire, como si estuviera filmando uno de esos videos que luego se vuelven virales en redes sociales. Nos guste o no, él es mucho más que el chico lindo de Instagram.
