Video: Ak, Barak: Eddie Hearn says Ryan Garcia is unproven

Ryan Garcia will meet Luke Campbell for an “interim” lightweight title on Dec. 5 in Indio, Calif. Garcia is the hotter fighter and will be favored but how much has he really proved in his relatively short career? His best opponent might’ve been …

Ryan Garcia will meet Luke Campbell for an “interim” lightweight title on Dec. 5 in Indio, Calif.

Garcia is the hotter fighter and will be favored but how much has he really proved in his relatively short career? His best opponent might’ve been Francisco Fonseca, which means he hasn’t been tested at the highest level.

Campbell is a 2012 Olympic champion with experience in title fights, having lost decisions to Jorge Linares and Vasiliy Lomachenko.

Is Garcia as good as he seems to have been against second-tier opposition? Or can a quality, time-tested opponent like Campbell reveal limitations in Garcia that we haven’t seen?

In this episode of the Ak & Barak Show, DAZN commentators Akin Reyes and Barak Bess interview promoter Eddie Hearn about that topic.

One of the most-avoided fighters in boxing will return next month.

Middleweight beltholder Demetrius Andrade is scheduled to face Dusty Harrison in a 10-round non-title super middleweight fight Nov. 27 in Hollywood, Florida, it was recently announced.

Andrade (29-0, 18 KOs) has been angling for a big fight much of his career but has so far come up empty. He hopes 2021 will finally be his year.

Harrison (34-0-1, 20 KOs) is a capable fighter but considered a level below Andrade. This is by far the biggest challenge of his career.

In this episode of the Ak & Barak Show, DAZN commentators Akin Reyes and Barak Bess discuss the return of Andrade.
