“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 on 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 whooping $200,000 from the fight as well as receive 30% of the pay per view.
