皮克斯基尔, 纽约州. (十二月 1, 2015) – 凯文·杰维尔体育管理公司宣布不败的古巴轻重量级的前景签署 路易斯 “狮子” 加西亚 的独家管理合同.

近八年前,加西亚 (12-0, 9 科斯) 从古巴叛逃到墨西哥与其他拳手 阿列克谢·阿科斯塔. 加西亚 (12-0, 9 科斯), 谁在Cork定居, 爱尔兰, made his professional debut in 2008. He now lives in Peekskill, 纽约.

“这是一个较大的变化，当我搬到爱尔兰比它六周前，当我搬到这里,” the 28-year-old Garcia explained. “It was a lot harder in Ireland because I didn’t speak a word of English. I learned English from the street, watching TV and reading. It’s not a big change for me to move around because I traveled all over the world when I was a member of the Cuban National Team.”

加西亚并没有由于以前的管理问题，争取在近四年来, 但他的计划的回报 这个星期六 夜晚, 十二月 5, against an opponent to be determined in a six-round bout at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. His last fight was a win by eight-round unanimous decision over previously undefeated (12-0) 亚历山大 - 约翰逊 上月 30, 2011 在卡巴松, 加利福尼亚州.

“这不是我的决定不打了过去四年,” Garcia added. “Something happened with my now former manager and promoter. I trained all the time, 对打了很多, and did as much as I could do in the gym. I still had a contract until it expired. I’ve known Kevin for 2-3 岁月. He asked me why I wasn’t fighting and I told him everything. He said to call him when my contract expired because he wanted to manage me and that’s what I did.

“美国为我提供了一个很好的机会, 比英格兰和爱尔兰更好, and I’m going to finish my boxing career here. I’m fighting December 5^日 and taking things step by step. I’m not going to rush. There are a lot of great fighters in the light heavyweight division and I hope to be in the mix next year.”

之前，他最后对约翰逊·加西亚的两个打架令人印象深刻 2010 前世界冠军的技术击倒 拜伦·米切尔 (28-6-1) 和 豪尔赫·罗德里格斯奥利维拉 (19-1), 分别, 在第二和第六轮.

“我离开拳击有不好的味道在我嘴里，但我一直在寻找重新进入拳击,” 说 凯文·责任, 谁共同管理加西亚 帕特里克·布朗. “I knew him from Ireland and I always wanted to manage this kid. He called to tell me his contract had expired and we worked out a deal that brought him here to live in New York.

“I honestly don’t see any rust watching him spar. I know sparring isn’t fighting but everybody in the gym stops to watch him workout. 老实说，我认为，, 一旦他在他的皮带一些好打架, 他会在轻重量级顶级竞争者. 路易斯·加西亚是我合作过的最好的战斗机。”

加西亚, 世界青少年锦标赛金牌得主, 叛逃，因为他醒悟被剥夺了一个点上后， 2008 古巴国奥队, 尽管他最终击败奥运银牌得主 Emelio科雷亚, JR. in the Cuban Olympic Qualifier. Correa is the son of 1972 奥运冠军 Emelio科雷亚, SR., 谁还在参与古巴业余拳击时，他的儿子被选中了加西亚，代表古巴在 2008 奥运会. Correa lost in the championship final to 詹姆斯DeGale, 英国人谁目前是国际拳击联合会 (IBF) 超中量级锦标.

这不是典型的防守至上的古巴拳击手, 加西亚被称为一个清晰的冲床​​，许多业内人士认为，有比谁已经叛逃任何的古巴拳击手较大的上涨空间, outside of 吉列尔莫·里贡多·奥尔蒂斯 和 Yuriorkis松赞干布一, 无论谁成为多世界冠军的专业人才.

加西亚正在走出先拳击在皮克斯基尔和威彻斯特拳击俱乐部的怀特普莱恩斯 (纽约), 在那里，他是由受过训练的 缺口 “指关节” Delury 和他的助手, 前世界冠军挑战者 拉里·巴恩斯 (44-3, 17 科斯). A former No. 1 排名世界次中量级的竞争者, 巴恩斯’ 只有三个损失作为一个亲要世界冠军 菲利克斯 “铁托” 特立尼达和多巴哥, 索尔Mamby 和 路易斯·拉蒙 “尤里男孩” 校园.

“他是一个伟大的孩子, 非常聪明和尊重,” Delury评论. “有从被关闭4年一定的防锈, 但路易斯生活的好, healthy lifestyle and he hasn’t suffered any damage in the ring. 他 28, 教育, and a true gentleman. It’s been a pleasure working with him. Luis is a gifted boxer. He’s extremely exciting to watch and has a perfect blend of offense and defense.”
