I&rsquo;d guess <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/kingryang\/\">his 4.8 million-follower IG account <\/a>will pop a bit if he&rsquo;s able to dispatch Fonseca in strong fashion. <\/p>\n<p>Garcia, age 21, is the fighting pride of Victorville, California, and we&rsquo;ll see if Fonseca (25-2-2, 19 KO), who has battled Gervonta Davis and Tevin Farmer, can test &ldquo;Kingry&rdquo; more than Duno did.<\/p>\n<p>The 24-year-old Duno came in 21-1 when he collided with Garcia at Staples Center, supporting the Canelo Alvarez-Sergey Kovalev main event, which also ran on DAZN. <\/p>\n<p>Better to say Garcia&rsquo;s fists collided with Duno&rsquo;s face. This video offers a deeper dive into the first round KO win for the Instagram Assassin:<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Garcia said he <em>knew <\/em>he was going to win, and pretty easily at that. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;As you can see, the punch was quick,&rdquo; he says, referring to a zippy left hook. &ldquo;It was the quick left hook, right around the temple, that caught him.&rdquo; <\/p>\n<p>The fighter, trained by Eddy Reynoso and father Henry Garcia, makes a solid point, you need to slow down that sequence fame by frame. Only then do you see that it was NOT a glancing blow that messed up Duno&rsquo;s equilibrium, it only looked that way because of Garcia&rsquo;s top-tier hand speed.<\/p>\n<p>Garcia has a name for that punch, and it honors the ATG Muhammad Ali. Watch the video, and hear what Garcia calls that balance buster of a left hook. <\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Woods <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Woodsy1069\"><em>on Twitter<\/em><\/a><em> for more Ryan Garcia news<\/em><\/p>\n<p><ins class=\"adbladeads\" data-cid=\"25014-4024605408\" data-host=\"web.adblade.com\" data-tag-type=\"4\" style=\"display:none\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script async src=\"http:\/\/web.adblade.com\/js\/ads\/async\/show.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo by Sye Williams\/Getty Images The star prospect returns to action on Friday following last November&rsquo;s quick work against Romero Duno.
