Ryan Garcia vs. Javier Fortuna | Full Fight Highlights | Ryan Garcia Knockouts Fortuna 6th round KO!

#RyanGarcia takes on experienced Dominican Javier Fortuna this Saturday in a Los Angeles lightweight battle. Will it prove a routine assignment for #KingRy or could he come unstuck? The day is edging closer when we will discover – finally – whether lightweight Ryan Garcia (22-0, 18 KOs) is the real deal, or merely a photogenic wannabe full of hot air and hype. The 23-year-old Californian of Mexican extraction is – without a doubt – one of the most bankable stars in boxing, but it is a status he has reached despite a wafer-thin professional resume. The best win of Garcia’s career remains his thrilling seventh-round TKO of Olympic gold medal winner Luke Campbell back in January 2021, since when out-of-the-ring issues – principally a well-publicized mental health battle, have restricted him to just one appearance, a dominant but somewhat unconvincing points victory against Emmanuel Tagoe in April of this year. Few believe that Javier Fortuna (37-3-1, 26 KOs) will be the man to derail the ‘KingRy’ hype train this Saturday night at the Crypto Arena in Los Angeles, but stranger things have happened, and there is undoubtedly a sense that Garcia is underestimating the tough and experienced Dominican southpaw. Garcia declared this week: “It doesn’t matter if [I am], not 100 percent.” “We are at the point where that doesn’t even matter. I am at the point that it wouldn’t matter if I am at 65 percent, I am destroying Fortuna. He cannot beat me. I am levels above him.” It is actually Fortuna who has fought the better level of opposition, having squared off against world-level operators such as Robert Easter Jr, Adrian Granados, and Joseph Diaz, and accumulated 214 rounds of professional experience compared to Garcia’s 79. A former WBA interim featherweight and ‘regular’ super-featherweight champion, Fortuna believes that his greater experience will hold the key to securing an upset victory. #garciafortuna
