Former WBC interim lightweight champion Ryan Garcia He said that he was very surprised by how Oscar Duarte took the blow in their fight.
“I was surprised by his ability to take a punch. I got him clean in the first round, but he just ate all those punches. So in the first and second rounds I thought that he would be shocked in the third, but then Duarte started to press more and more and I thought that I need to somehow interrupt his momentum,” Pro Box TV quotes Garcia.
Let us remember that on the night of December 3, Garcia stopped Duarte in the eighth round.
