The lightweight division is arguably the most exciting in boxing and Ryan Garcia might just turn out to be the most talented of them all.
He returns to the ring after a 15-month absence in San Antonio this weekend against Ghana’s Emmanuel Tagoe. It’s a big moment for Garcia who is returning after injury and mental health issues. He has changed trainers, swapping Canelo’s Reynoso stable for Joe Goosen.
Tagoe, like all the Accra-born boxers is a tough hombre. Garcia has taken this fight at a catchweight 139 pounds, a trade off to get solid rounds against an experienced fighter with only one defeat. Garcia was outstanding in his last fight against Luke Campbell. He was dropped in the second but resumed his feet and got through the round.
