One of boxing's brightest stars returns to the ring on Saturday, Nov. 2, as Ryan Garcia faces Romero Duno as the co-feature to Canelo Alvarez vs. Sergey Kovalev at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
The 21-year-old boxing sensation was supposed to fight on Sept. 14, but his slated opponent Avery Sparrow pulled a no-show on the scales during the weigh-in the day before. It was then revealed that Sparrow was arrested for a prior charge and that the Garcia fight had to be scratched.
But Garcia vs. Duno figures to be a better fight anyway. Garcia (18-0, 15 KOs) enters the ring coming off a second-round TKO of Jose Lopez in March. Lopez dropped Garcia with a blistering uppercut, which triggered Garcia's corner to end the bout right then and there.
Garcia may need to deliver that kind of pop and overall power against Duno (21-1, 16 KOs), who has won 12 straight fights after suffering his only pro defeat — a unanimous decision loss to Mikhail Alexeev in May 2016. The 24-year-old Duno is coming off a corner stoppage victory after pummeling Ivan Delgado on that same Sept. 14 card that Garcia was supposed to fight Sparrow on.
Will Garcia continue climbing up the ranks toward a lightweight world title shot, or will Duno steal some shine from boxing's dreamboat and punch his own ticket toward stardom?
