Get ready for Ryan Garcia vs. Oscar Duarte with the latest numbers from our friends at FanDuel Sportsbook.
We haven’t seen Ryan Garcia step into the ring since he couldn’t get back up after taking a body shot from Gervonta Davis in the seventh round of their April fight. Standing four inches taller than Davis, it was the first loss of Garcia’s career — one in which he felt dehydrated and weak at the lightweight division.
So he made a decision: He’s going to fight at junior welterweight (up to 140 pounds) from now on. Despite Davis simply being the better boxer that night, it was apparent that moving up was necessary for Garcia at that size.
With the move comes a slew of new opponents — Teofimo Lopez, Regis Prograis, and Josh Taylor — but also brings with it some familiar faces. One of those is Davis, who may not compete at 140, but Garcia has been adamant about having a rematch with him after the first fight was done at a catchweight. Another is Devin Haney, who vacated his belts at 135 pounds to also move up to junior welterweight starting with Prograis on Dec. 9. in San Francisco.
All of these boxers likely share the same sentiment about themselves, but if Garcia has his way, he’ll be running the 140-pound division in no time.
“I’m going to run through the 140 division, and I’m going to become a champion,” Garcia told Boardroom on The ETCs. “That’s my goal — become a champion. … I’m going to earn it just like I earned it in the amateurs, earned it coming up, earned it. Now, I’m going to earn it, and I’m going to get that rematch [against Gervonta], and I’m going to beat him. That’s my goal. That’s what I want to do.”
But first, Garcia must not look too far ahead and get past Duarte on Saturday night at the Toyota Center in Houston. To prep for the bout, Boardroom lays out the latest odds and prop bets from our friends over at FanDuel Sportsbook.
