Lightweight boxing contender Ryan Garcia (23-0, 19 KOs) maintained his unbeaten record in front of a passionate crowd at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, stopping Javier Fortuna (37-4-1, 26 KOs) in the sixth round to notch his second victory of 2022. ‘KingRy’ took this fight at 140 lbs at the request of Fortuna, who rehydrated up to 157 lbs on fight night, which for an already undersized lightweight suggested he was not in good fighting shape. Truth be told, he didn’t look it either.
Garcia was sharp and active, showcasing his handspeed and accuracy with both hands.
