Boxing News 24 will be giving alive updates & results below of this evening's action on the DAZN card.

"Fortuna will make your life a little difficult. He'll attempt to make your life a little difficult, but I don't think he'south at that level. His best weight is 130 lbs," said Paulie Malignaggi on Paulie Television set about Javier Fortuna being undersized to fight Ryan Garcia tonight.

Garcia-Fortuna undercard:

Oscar Collazo vs. Vic Saludar
Diego De La Hoya vs. Enrique Bernache
Miguel Gaona vs. Abdiel Padilla
Alexis Rocha vs. Luis Veron
Lamont Roach Jr vs. Angel Rodriguez
Ricardo Sandoval vs. David Jimenez

"He'due south a solid opponent that brings something to the table paper-wise, but a guy like Garcia is supposed to beat him. If you're only going to fight in one case a year, these are the kind of guys that y'all're only going to be able to fight.

"Hopefully, he [Ryan] stays busy. He fought Tagoe, and now he's going to fight Fortuna. After this, we're going to need a bigger proper noun. They've been talking almost Tank and Ryan Garcia, but I highly, highly dubiety we're going to run across that fight. I just cannot get myself to believe that.

"If I'chiliad Oscar [De La Hoya], I'thou starting to wonder if this guy wants to fight.

"You lot may as well take a risk on him now because if he was a regular prospect and he was a loftier level and was selling a lot, mayhap you lot take your time going to the Tank fight because he's a sure matter, and you're going to effort and use him.

"Because you don't know where he'due south going to go side by side. Is he going to box, do a commercial, if he's going to become an astronaut, if he's going to become a model, if he's going to go an actor if he'due south going to become?" Malignaggi said about Ryan Garcia.

"You don't know what he's going to do next. Yous may be inclined if you lot have him under contract to push him a niggling faster to become something out of him before the time runs out, or you lot lose him to another avenue of success he might accept. He might but abandon boxing.

"So if I'm Oscar [De La Hoya], I practise push the large coin, the big take chances fight now. If this fight [Tank vs. Ryan] doesn't get made, I still tin't say it'southward one guy'southward error or the other guy'southward error. Honestly, who has Tank Davis fought as well?

"The only difference betwixt Tank Davis and Ryan Garcia is Tank Davis fights a footling more than frequently. But ultimately, we don't know the guys he's fighting either.

"The rankings in the organizations come down to how pop you are. The sanctioning bodies will starting time ranking you lot higher based on how popular you are because if you're popular plenty, they're going to move yous.

"If you keep winning, no matter who you're fighting, they'll move you lot upwardly the ranks fast because yous bring coin to the tabular array. If you bring money, you lot bring money to them too.

"I call back there are a lot of hoops to jump through to run into a [Tank] Davis and [Ryan] Garcia. The media are the biggest p****. Why not ask, 'When are you going to fight somebody?' 'Practise y'all actually desire to be a boxer?'

"Or with Tank Davis, 'When are you going to fight somebody that nosotros've heard of when you're headlining these pay-per-view events. Why do we take to larn who your opponents are when nosotros fight them?

"'Why tin can't nosotros already go into a pay-per-view similar information technology used to where a super fighter fought another super fighter. Everybody knew who both guys are, and the reason it was pay-per-view is because both guys were so known and they were head-to-caput, you lot knew it was time to do a pay-per-view.'

"Now you got random guys doing pay-per-views fighting random opponents. Nobody asks that question because nobody wants to become their credentials pulled. It'due south all nigh getting the credential, so you're a kiss a**. You're simply a professional a** kisser. You're non a media guy.

"We oasis't seen enough of Ryan besides the power to see the different levels, the different adjustments that he'd be able to make. I don't call up he has the fastest feet. So a piffling bit of range irresolute and mixing speed on the jabs and and so off the faints.

"He hasn't fought a very high level of opposition. Luke Campbell was a very good fighter, though. I'll say that. That's a solid win. I think it's going to be a fiddling bit of an awkward fight.

"Fortuna doesn't give you a lot, and and then all of a sudden, he throws some bad-mannered shots.

"Information technology'south not a great fight in terms of looking good. I feel he may stop Fortuna but get criticized for the performance. Fortuna is non a guy that's easy to look expert against. I likewise think Ryan isn't the guy to get beat by Fortuna.

"Fortuna will randomly upset you and crush you lot and give you trouble because of his clumsiness. I practise recollect that, ultimately, this is a win that Ryan probably gets. I only don't know that he looks good doing it, and he'south going to go kind of criticized for information technology.

"I don't retrieve Fortuna is an easy guy to await skillful against for anybody. The battle odds business relationship for the fact that one guy will never go a decision anyway if it goes the distance.

"Information technology'south fair [the wide odds in Ryan's favor] because fifty-fifty if Fortuna wins the fight on points, he'll get robbed. Then, he'll never get the determination, and then you take that into account. So yous looking at it now, Fortuna has to win by knockout in club to win the fight.

"I can remember me vs. Broner, for example. Broner was an 11:1 favorite, and I was like normal. I was betting on myself in all kinds of means. Ultimately, when the decision came, I learned why he was 11:1 because he was never going to lose that decision.

"The WBA already sent his copy of the belt there. So, I learned something that dark besides, and besides about the odds. Where does the boxing politics lie here? Tin can one guy get a conclusion confronting the other?

"Sometimes it actually plays out. I picked Bivol to get robbed against Canelo. I idea Bivol would best Canelo and not get the decision just like a couple of other guys that had fought Canelo had gotten, but on that nighttime, Bivol did get a decision.

"Sometimes the politics do steer the other way, but for the near part, those odds are there because 1 guy can't get a decision against the other guy no matter what.

"I think he'southward a good trainer. I think he'south very, very intelligent," said Malignaggi when asked his opinion of Ryan's new motorcoach Joe Goosen. "I remember even in the corner, and I liked to watch him because he was very calm, he made his direct points, and they were directly.

"They weren't confusing, and he always knew. When you would come back to the corner, I always noticed that he was the guy that knew what he was going to tell you, and he understood very well and understood how to give those instructions in a simplified yet very articulate manner.

"I always liked that. When Corrales kept losing his mouthpiece before he knocked out Castillo. When they took him back to his corner and they were washing out his mouthpiece, sometimes Goosen was as simple as, 'Yous improve f**** go him now.'

"Information technology was crazy because Goosen was very astute and very smart in a lot of ways he delivered his information, but sometimes, he knew that he had to go along it simple and even more direct and simply throw out all that extra mumbo-jumbo.

"I like Joe Goosen a lot, and I think he'southward a smart guy. Plus, he always had a unique fashion fashion in the corner. He was always with the hair combed very nicely, and always wearing the Hawaiin button-down shirts," said Malignaggi.
