Many biggies want to see ‘King Ry’ go up against the unified lightweight champ, George Kambosos Jr. Recently, Robert Garcia weighed in on this matchup.
Speaking with the Little Giant Boxing, he said, “I think Ryan beats him and look no disrespect to Kambosos or Centennial. Because Ryan’s just too fast and strong man, he’s fast and strong. I think he knocks him out.”
Ryan Garcia‘s last fight in the professional circuit came in January 2021.
The internet star outclassed Luke Campbell to bag the WBC interim lightweight title. However, he got stripped of the same because of inactivity. That said, this fight with Emmanuel Tagoe will help him get a hang of the ring again, and possibly take him a step closer towards a fight with a biggie.
