Ryan Garcia has the chance to bounce back on Saturday night after his disappointing loss to Gervonta Davis earlier in the year.

In addition to the contest itself, it's fair to say that Ryan 'The Flash' Garcia lost a lot of goodwill during his first professional defeat to Davis on PPV in Nevada in April. As one of the most promising young fighters on the circuit, and undefeated former WBC interim lightweight champ, the match-up had been touted as a potential fight-of-the-year contender.
But the Californian was felled as early as the second round and, when he was unable to meet the count after he was toppled again in the seventh, he was comfortably beaten. Many pundits were unimpressed by the nature of the loss, with accusations that he simply gave up in the knowledge that he was well behind on the judges' card.
Saturday's fight in Texas gives him the chance for redemption, and to remind the boxing world why he'd climbed to PPV headliner status during his impressive lossless streak over the course of his seven-year career.
But it's also a chance for Oscar Duarte to really make a name for himself. Since his sole defeat to Adrian Estrella back in 2019, the Mexican-born fighter has worked his way through opponents amassing an impressive 21 knockouts. Confounding the odds to beat Garcia would push him up a good few rungs of the divisional ladder and potentially into the frame for future world title fights.

The picture isn't altogether clear Down Under. The DAZN website itself says that: "The card will stream live on DAZN in over 200 countries across the globe (excluding Australia and New Zealand)".
However, many websites are reporting that DAZN will still carry the Garcia vs Duarte fight and, at the time of writing, the event is not being listed on any other Australian networks or streamers.
As such, we suspect that this fight night will indeed be broadcast by DAZN in Australia, with the card set to start at midday on Sunday, Dec. 3 and prices starting from AU$13.99/month.

In New Zealand, it's exactly the same situation as explained above for the Aussies. DAZN says the fight isn't been shown in the Antipodes, yet nowhere else appears to have picked up the action. So we think DAZN will likely be the place to watch.
For Kiwis, DAZN costs from NZ$14.99/month. The main card is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. NZT on Sunday, with the headline bout at approximately 5 p.m.
