Former WBC interim lightweight champion Ryan Garcia returned after a 1-year hiatus to face Emmanuel Tagoe at the Alamodome. The hiatus seems to have had no change in the champ’s performance, with Garcia securing his 22nd win. However, many fans took to social media to show their disappointment about the lack of showmanship in the fight.

That #RyanGarcia fight gotta be the MOST boring main event fight I’ve seen in a long time. Fought an absolute nobody and went the distance. Ryan didn’t job or box, just threw power shots praying for it to land. He gotta be better than that #GarciaVsTagoe

Favoritism clearly shown towards Ryan the Reff is not correcting him and is ignoring the dirty shots thrown towards Tagoe ! #garciavstagoe 😠

It can be said that the highly anticipated fight has left fans pining for more.
