Nice fight for Kingry. He does look kinda stupid now for all the Pac and Tank talk.

Only thing that makes no sense is this being for the WBC interim belt when Garcia was supposed to be the mandatory after he beat Campbell. Aside from that, love this fight for him. Fortuna is no joke and will come to win.

KingRy doing it right!

The hope remains a title shot in 2021, with the winner due to face whoever prevails in a May 29th WBC lightweight title clash between Haney and Linares.

Garcia won't fight Haney after.

Styles wise, very dangerous fight for Ryan. Fortuna can fight, has power and is very awkward. This will be much harder thab the Campbell fight. Wouldn't be shocked if he loses.

So an interim belt while theres an active champion....and an active "franchise" champion all at 135.

Davis should fight for the WBC Diamond belt and then we've completed the circle

Interesting that this fight is on a Friday. Is there another fight being lined up for July 10? Possibly Spence vs Ugas?

Garcia could have went straight to a fight with Haney after beating Campbell.

He obviously doesn't want that work, despite what he and GBP try to say

Garcia will have his hands full with Fortuna. A big step in the right direction and gets full credit beating a proven top contender.
