Ryan Garcia’s Boxing Odds & Betting Outlook vs Tagoe

Garcia returns after fifteen months away from the spotlight. A period working on his mental health and then hand surgery at a later juncture led to that hiatus.

It has been a bit since the biggest statement win of his career in January 2021 and will be interesting to see what new skills Garcia may have shored up under new trainer Joe Goossen.

King Ry is a big rising star in the sport, and the 23-year-old looks to keep his spotless record intact against a formidable fighter who has been a fringe contender for a while.

The former interim WBC lightweight world champion does not return to any kind of softball test with Tagoe here.

Tagoe is someone who has put together solid wins by all accounts and also captured as well as defended the IBO lightweight world championship.

Emmanuel Tagoe’s Boxing Odds and Betting Outlook vs Garcia

Tagoe is acutely aware that the vast majority of the boxing world is counting him out. But the experienced veteran is assured of the upset happening.

The lone pro loss for Tagoe came in his first-ever bout and he has put together a 32 fight winning streak leading into this weekend.

Tagoe trains under Javiel Centeno, who famously works with George Kambosos Jr. Following Kambosos Jr’s upset win over Teofimo Lopez, Tagoe is presumably hoping the tutelage of Centeno can generate another underdog win that shakes up the boxing landscape.

These 135 pounders match up nicely stylistically with Garcia seeming to have the edge in speed and KO power while Tagoe has the experience advantage and a strong fight IQ underpinning some very good skills.

Also of note, speaking of competitive dormancy, Tagoe has been out of action for even longer; having last competed in November 2020.

The questions of ring rust loom over both men to a degree as we head into fight night.

Ryan Garcia vs Emmanuel Tagoe Pick & Prediction

This prizefight is scheduled for twelve rounds, but I do not see this one going to the final bell.

The prop bet on this fight not going the distance is valued at -700, and I think that is a good one to go with.

Also, Ryan Garcia getting it done via KO or TKO is situated at -550, and I think that is a strong bet as well. Bettors looking for a better price on Garcia should look to DraftKings Sportsbook, which list him at -1600 in the Garcia vs Tagoe odds.

Pick: Ryan Garcia (-2000)
