Would rather see Haney vs Fortuna but if Tanajara can pick up a win here he puts himself in the mix big time....

Same here... The WBC should have just ordered Haney vs Fortuna.

Massive step up for Tanajara.

They 100% should have. Tanajara looks to have good fundamentals but that's a friggin massive step up. Despite being boring, he'd be mentioned with the other young up and comers if he pulls it off.

I think this could be a tough matchup stylistically for Fortuna. Tanajara doesn’t have much pop but he has decent hand speed and footwork, if he keeps it at long range I think he can outpoint the naturally smaller man in Fortuna.

What happened to Garcia?

Love it, Tanajara has been asking for a big fight this is just that. What El Finito lacks in power he makes up with technical skills. The kid been getting some of the best sparring @ RGBA with Vergil Ortiz, Jose Ramirez and Mikey Garcia. Honestly, see Tanajara stepping up against Fortuna and coming away with the W and some shine @ the heavily stacked 135 lbs division, Vamos Hector

Yeah, I can definitely see Tanajara taking it so long as the moment doesn't get too big for him. I like his temperament and his skill set. Not a bad matchup honestly.
