Comments Thread For: Ryan Garcia vs. Javier Fortuna is Ordered By The WBC, Purse Bid on April 16

Fortuna is ok, but mainly because Ryan can be hit. Campbell landed his Sunday haymaker from deep left field. Fortuna might be a little better skilled and less worn, but he's in Campbell's league. It's a little gain, but no shame fight.

Well the winner should fight the winner of the Haney-Linares scrap.

I think this will be a good fight. WBC did something the promoters wouldn't do. Good for boxing. Looking forward to it.

WBC is solving the mandatory issue that they created.

[Jab jab boom]

“After careful consideration and communication with all parties involved, the WBC confirmed the course of action for the lightweight division,” Translation, wbc called Ryan, hey you’re the mandatory to face Haney, would you like us to mandate that fight? Ryan replies, ummm nope. Ok, how about we somehow create a mandatory shot for your interim title and you fight, maybe fortuna? Ryan, ok. That sounds like a more winnable fight. Deal.

At least Garcia is taking on the 2 guy's Haney dodged, Campbell and now Fortuna, if it gets made I guess.

So they went from Haney having two mandatories to having 0 mandatories

What is all the fuss about. Let the kid fight Fortuna. It is a qualify and dangerous fight. He wins then he continues to build his brand.

A lot of ado over a meaningless belt. But Fortuna is a pretty decent opponent for Garcia at this point. Haney isn't going to fight anyone with a pulse, so a win over Fortuna could lead Garcia straight to Teo Lopez. Why bother waiting to face Haney for yet another phony belt?

Ryan Garcia not doing it get ready for Loma vs Fortuna for WBC intrim
