LOS ANGELES – Golden Boy Promotions head Oscar De La Hoya is looking for a solid comeback performance from star pupil Ryan Garcia on April 9 against Emmanuel Tagoe in order to potentially land the lightweight contender a world title shot against George Kambosos Jr.
The recent split between unbeaten lightweight contender Ryan Garcia and renowned cornerman Eddy Reynoso served as a reminder that even serving as a top trainer doesn’t make you the best fit for every fighter.
LOS ANGELES – One day after Canelo Alvarez threw yet another jab at Ryan Garcia and questioned his discipline and work ethic – which caused his former stablemate to fire back on Twitter to defend himself – Garcia was front and center in front of reporters at Golden Boy Promotions headquarters to ramp up promotion for his April 9 fight against Emmanuel Tagoe in San Antonio.

Oscar De La Hoya, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, would like to see Ryan Garcia and Canelo Alvarez settle their social media dispute by stepping in the ring - at least several years down the line at a catch-weight.
LOS ANGELES – Two of boxing’s brightest stars in Vergil Ortiz Jr. and Ryan Garcia are both signed to Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions. If you leave it up to the principals involved in making a potential fight between the upstarts, the pair of 23-year-old fast-rising contenders would meet for a fight sometime in the not-too-distant future.
Ryan Garcia has suddenly found himself on the defensive against the best fighter in the world. The jabs are being thrown through the media instead of in the ring, as both boxers recently went on record regarding the circumstances surrounding Garcia’s decision to leave trainer Eddy Reynoso’s stable. Garcia and Reynoso worked together for more than three years, during which time the unbeaten lightweight also developed a strong bond with Alvarez (57-1-2, 39KOs), the four-division and reigning super middleweight king and Reynoso’s star pupil.
