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. Բայց դուք գիտեք, թե ինչ? 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?«
