King Ry' has recognised the danger of his opponent, but has said that on Saturday he will present a better version, with corrections in his offensive and especially defensive boxing, according to TV Azteca.
Ryan Garcia's most heated press conference ever with Gervonta Davis
The Mexican-American fighter has expressed his determination to erase the mistakes of the past, giving the fight against Duarte the importance it deserves, for which he has been preparing with Derrick James, moving his camp to Texas to avoid distractions.
The 25-year-old boxer wants to be champion and knows that to achieve it he must avoid easy fights and against Oscar Duarte the challenge seems important.
For his part, 'La Migrana' is a tough guy, who will be looking to capitalise on this unique opportunity against Garcia.
The knockout expert boasts a record of 26-1-1, 21 KOs, making him a tough opponent to watch out for.
He is also aware of what a victory over Ryan would mean for his career, it would give him a boost and would make his name start to sound stronger in the boxing world, something that sounds very good, especially because he has the dream of being the next Mexican boxing idol.
In addition, he wants to take advantage of the good physical and mental moment he is going through to give the surprise this Saturday, December 2 at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.
"This Saturday I'm sure I'm going to win, you're going to see the best version of me on Saturday, I'm very prepared, I have a great team, my family always supports me, I'm going to win, thanks to everyone and long live Mexico", said the Mexican at the conference of the fight organised by Golden Boy Promotions.
