More than seven months after falling disastrously short in his superfight with Gervonta “Tank” Davis, boxing superstar Ryan Garcia returns to action this Saturday (Dec. 2, 2023) to meet dangerous puncher Oscar Duarte at Houston’s Toyota Center.
The DAZN broadcast also sees Ohara Davies battle the ageless Ismael Barroso for interim WBA gold and Shane Mosley Jr. take on Joshua Conley, but the eyes of both the public and DraftKings’ bookies are on the main event. Let’s see what our friends have cooked up this time.

Thoughts: I’m usually not big on unders, but that Under 7.5 at +110 is pretty damn tempting. Seven of Garcia’s last eight fights have ended before the bell rang for the eighth round and Duarte, an aggressive pressure fighter, isn’t going to tuck and run after feeling Garcia’s power the way Emmanuel Tagoe did in the one exception.
If you want more evidence of that being the right play, Under 7.5 would have hit in 10 of Duarte’s last 11 fights as well.
If you want to be aggressive, Garcia in Rounds 1-6 at +250 would be the next logical step. His left hook has produced a number of early finishes and Duarte’s effective-but-basic offense should give Garcia plenty of openings to land it.
If the ambiguity of Garcia’s current mental state have you expecting a more measured approach, there’s still value in the moneyline at -425. Garcia is bigger, faster, and more powerful than Duarte; he’s more than capable of winning comfortably even without keeping his foot on the gas.
