THE REVEAL with Mark Kriegel: דני גרסיה: http://s.sho.com/2m8unol
Danny Garcia opened up about his father Angel, his challenging childhood, and not getting the respect he deserves in an intimate conversation with award-winning reporter Mark Kriegel. The interview is the latest in a recurring SHOWTIME Sports digital series, THE REVEAL with Mark Kriegel, featuring exclusive and in-depth interviews with boxing’s emerging stars.
גרסיה, the WBC Welterweight World Champion, and Kriegel spoke in a wide-ranging conversation prior to his long-awaited unification showdown with fellow undefeated WBA Welterweight Champ Keith Thurman on יום שבת, מרץ 4 on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS, מוגש על ידי אלופי פרמייר באגרוף, מרקליס המרכז, live on CBS from 9-11 p.m. ו/6-8 p.m. PT.
Below are bites from THE REVEAL:
Garcia on his father’s incarceration while he was a child:
“I was just a kid, I was confused. אני לא יודע מה קורה. I didn’t understand until I got older. I think that’s what motivated me today to be the best fighter I can be.
“The things I’ve been through as a kid – waking up on your birthday not even knowing it’s your birthday, not having a birthday cake – so it’s just a lot of things we went through in life that made me who I am today.”
Garcia on his father’s approach to tough parenting and coaching following a loss in the amateurs:
“I love him for that because we have a perfect chemistry. I needed him, he needed me. I was a talented kid, but he made me believe in myself. I just loved boxing, I was just having fun…but to him, he was working, he was providing for the family. This was our way out. And once he told me that I never looked at it like that again. I took it serious and I just became the best fighter I could be.”
Garcia when asked by Kriegel who is the most dangerous fighter in the division:
“Danny Garcia. You know why? Danny Garcia has always been the underdog and overlooked his whole career. And I’ve never been given the credit I deserve ever since I was a little kid. אבל אתה יודע מה? It’s OK. I want people to overlook me so that when my hand is raised at the end of the night, what can they say?"

Just The Third Unification Between Undefeated Welterweights In Boxing History
BOXING CHAMPIONSHIP SHOWTIME ב- CBS, מוגש על ידי אלופי פרמייר באגרוף, Live on CBS From Barclays Center In Brooklyn
NEW YORK (פבואר. 15, 2017) – Sugar Ray Leonard vs. טומי Hearns. Felix Trinidad vs. אוסקר דה לה הויה. Floyd Mayweather vs. מני Pacquiao.
That is the elite company welterweight champions Danny Garcia and Keith Thurman will join when they meet in just the 10הunification in division history on יום שבת, מרץ 4 on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS, מוגש על ידי אלופי פרמייר באגרוף, מרקליס המרכז, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™, live on CBS from 9-11 p.m. ו/6-8 p.m. PT.
גרסיה, the WBC titleholder, and Thurman, the WBA champion, will unify the exact same titles that Leonard (WBC) and Hearns (WBA) unified in their 1981 מאבק של השנה.
And while Hearns was undefeated and Leonard entered with one loss, גרסיה (33-0, 19 קוס) and Thurman (27-0, 22 קוס) will meet in just the third unification between בלתי מנוצח welterweights in boxing history, the ראשון since Trinidad vs. De La Hoya in 1999, a bout billed as “The Fight of the Millennium.”
גרסיה vs. Thurman will be broadcast in Primetime on CBS, the first unification on network television in any division in over two decades (הערה: Terry Norris vs. Paul Vaden at 154-pounds on Dec. 16, 1995 על FOX). It’s also just the second primetime boxing presentation on the CBS Television Network in nearly 40 שנים.
While Danny Garcia and Keith Thurman are joining a who’s who of legendary 147-pounders, their showdown also presents current implications in boxing’s glamour division. With the retirement of pound-for-pound kingpin Floyd Mayweather, Garcia and Thurman, both just 28 שנים, meet with a chance to become the new face of the stacked 147-pound division, and perhaps earn a spot on the mythical pound-for-pound list.
יותר מ 80 percent of the total punches landed by Garcia are power shots, putting his high-octane power punch output nearly 10 percent higher than the welterweight average.
Keith Thurman ranks No. 4 amongst all current boxers in percentage of power punches landed, connecting at 48.2 percent according to Compubox. That’s more than 10 percent better than the welterweight average.
Both fighters are young, hungry and undefeated. Their bout on מרץ 4 is the quintessential career-defining fight. It is a chance for both to add to their growing legacy and potentially, ultimately, be forever linked with every boxing great in the coveted International Boxing Hall of Fame.
