Luke Campbell takes on Golden Boy star Ryan Garcia
British Olympic gold medallist Luke Campbell is in Texas to fight hyped American star Ryan Garcia. John Dennen previews a great contest to kick off 2021
THERE is something about Ryan Garcia. The young American looks the part, he’s got the Instagram following (a modern prerequisite for stardom), he has handspeed, punch power and the full weight of Golden Boy Promotions behind him. He can fight too.
The 22 year old Californian has amassed a perfect 20-0 (17) record and he does land his shots with electric force. His right cross is fast and hurtful. Garcia’s lead left hook does real damage. He showcased its force in his last bout. In February Francisco Fonseca reached for Garcia with a jab that fell short, just as he readied his right to throw, Garcia intercepted with a vicious countering left hook. Accurate and powerful, Fonseca was knocked out as his back hit the boards of the ring.

Former pound-for-pound king Vasiliy Lomachenko recently sat down for an interview with Snow Queen LA, giving his thoughts on his fellow elite lightweights.
Lomachenko (14-2, 10 KO) shot back at Ryan Garcia’s claim of having “warred” with him in sparring, saying Garcia was “terrified to show his face” and threatening to release footage of their session. He also picked former foe Luke Campbell to defeat Garcia this upcoming Saturday, provided Campbell is still at his best after his bout with COVID.
