[BOXING] – Ghana’s Emmanuel Tagoe takes ‘beatings’ but pockets whopping $200k in humiliating defeat to Garcia

It was a disappointing evening for Ghanaian boxer Emmanuel ‘Game Boy’ Tagoe in San Antonio, Texas after he was totally dominated by American fighter Ryan Garcia.

 

Tagoe lost via a unanimous decision by all three judges with Tom Carusone (119-108), Lisa Giampa (118-109) and Ellis Johnson (119-108) all ruling in favour of the American.

 

In a video posted on Twitter, spotted by Sports Brief, the 34-year-old lightweight boxer was overwhelmed by his American opponent.

 

Rayn Garcia after the bout expressed disappointment in his opponent, who he feels had nothing to offer.

 

“I had to walk him down, he wasn’t giving me anything,” Garcia admitted of Tagoe’s negative approach to the fight. “I’ll learn more, I know I got a lot more in me,” he said as quoted by citisportsonline.

 

Garcia was making a return to the ring after a 15-month break but looked sharp as he sent the Ghanaian to the ropes multiple times.

 

Tagoe managed to drag the fight to all 12 rounds, and in some moments tried to show speedy quick punches.

However, Garcia was too hot for Tagoe in front of a cheering crowd in Texas.

 

Emmanuel Tagoe will receive a whopping $200,000 from the fight as well as receive 30% of the pay per view.
