Prediction:
Fortuna is a genuine fighter and a reasonable opponent for Garcia in a fight that fans actually want to see. Defeating Tagoe, Fortuna, and “JoJo” Diaz – assuming the Diaz fight follows the Fortuna fight – will not be a bad year for Garcia all in all, but 2024 requires to be the year where Garcia confronts a great boxer in a division with no shortage of elite talent.
Garcia should have no trouble dealing with Fortuna. Fortuna is small for a 135-pounder, and he can’t compete with Garcia’s speed and power, so it’s interesting to assume what Garcia is about to do and how Fortuna keeps up with him.
