You've got a point there mate, but this is Garcia's fight and he should win it. If things go sour and it goes the full 12 rounds, for sure the judges will favor Garcia if nothing significant that somehow could sway the fight in favor of Duarte.
I've read on his social media that he will go for the Davis rematch but not sure about what weight because if that would still be held at 135-pound then the outcome would still be the same but I don't also think that Davis would go up in weight to fight him so most likely he would a rematch would not happen if Garcia won't go down in weight.
His name, popularity and career are greatly influenced in this fight so Garcia must really be able to survive to win no matter what, I sure his new trainer has prepared Garcia to face Duarte.
It just what the fight will be like because if Garcia can't finish with knockout victory and it ends in the 12th round then there is also chance that Duarte will win.
But let just wait, we'll really see how it goes and can see whether Garcia will be what we expect or not.
Indeed, there are rumors that Garcia could have rematch with Davis, but yes, it is also true that there are weight issues between the two that make it possible that they will never be the same.
But if there is rematch, it will be quite dangerous for Garcia because if he loses again to Davis, you can be sure that Garcia name will decline drastically.
But the odds shows that Garcia is the favorite, Duarte is a long shot, a huge 4:1 underdog in this fight. So I don't see this going into full 12 rounds, and it could end in a knockout win by Ryan Garcia. Even the over and under, it's listed at 8.5 rounds.
Which means sport bookies knows that again, this fight is not going to last, the judges scorecard won't dictate who will win. And Ryan Garcia is the clear favorite and so with that, this is a comeback fight for him to show that he still be a great fighter at this new weight class and will be announcing his arrival with a great victory against Duarte.
