Ryan Garcia Vs. Javier Fortuna: Odds, Records, Prediction

Ryan Garcia will enter uncharted territory when he steps into the ring against Oscar Duarte on Saturday night. For the first time in his professional career, he'll be coming off of a loss.

LAS VEGAS: It didn't take long for Saul "Canelo" Alvarez to consider Las Vegas his second home. He came here to fight Jose Cotto on May 10, 2010, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, and right away Alvarez felt the support from his Mexican compatriots. Alvarez won that fight by technical knockout in the second round, the first of many trips to Las Vegas.…

Boxing is not a numbers-driven sport - unless you count the number 0, which propels marketability for those who have that number on the right side of their record. The sample sizes in the Sweet Science are too small, the in-game statistics too nuanced, the chance of one big punch erasing a hundred smaller punches too ever-present. But Saul "Canelo"…

There hasn't been, and may not be, a bigger boxing match in 2023. I would argue that there hasn't been a boxing match with this much hype in the U.S. since at least the second rematch of Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder in February 2020.
