THE REVEAL with Mark Kriegel: דאַני גאַרסיאַ: 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.
גאַרסיאַ, 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 שבת, מאַרץ 4 on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS, presented by Premier Boxing Champions, פון באַרקלייַס צענטראַל, live on CBS from 9-11 פּ.ם. און/6-8 פּ.ם. פּט.
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. I didn’t know what was going on. 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. אבער איר וויסן וואָס? 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
SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS, presented by Premier Boxing Champions, Live on CBS From Barclays Center In Brooklyn
נייַ יארק (פעברואר. 15, 2017) – Sugar Ray Leonard vs. טאָממי העאַרנס. Felix Trinidad vs. אָסקאַר די לאַ הויאַ. פלויד מייַוועאַטהער ווס. מאַני פּאַקקוויאַאָ.
That is the elite company welterweight champions Danny Garcia and Keith Thurman will join when they meet in just the 10טהunification in division history on שבת, מאַרץ 4 on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS, presented by Premier Boxing Champions, פון באַרקלייַס צענטראַל, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™, live on CBS from 9-11 פּ.ם. און/6-8 פּ.ם. פּט.
גאַרסיאַ, the WBC titleholder, and Thurman, the WBA champion, will unify the exact same titles that Leonard (וובק) and Hearns (וובאַ) unified in their 1981 פייט פון די יאר.
And while Hearns was undefeated and Leonard entered with one loss, גאַרסיאַ (33-0, 19 קאָס) and Thurman (27-0, 22 קאָס) will meet in just the third unification between ונדעפעאַטעד welterweights in boxing history, די ערשטער since Trinidad vs. De La Hoya in 1999, a bout billed as “The Fight of the Millennium.”
גאַרסיאַ ווס. Thurman will be broadcast in Primetime on CBS, the first unification on network television in any division in over two decades (טאָן: Terry Norris vs. Paul Vaden at 154-pounds on Dec. 16, 1995 אויף פוקס). It’s also just the second primetime boxing presentation on the CBS Television Network in nearly 40 יאָרן.
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 יאר אַלט, 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.
מער ווי 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 מאַרץ 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.
טאָן: Welterweight Unifications (9) In Boxing History
· Jackie Fields (נבאַ) W DQ 2 Joe Dundee (וועלט) 7-25-29
· צוקער Ray לעאָנאַרד (וובק) קאָ 14 Thomas Hearns (וובאַ) 9-16-81
