Kevin Dever Sport Management tekens onoorwonne Kubaanse lig swaargewig Luis Garcia

Skryf 'n opmerking
(L-R – Kevin Duty, Luis Garcia en Patrick Brown)
PEEKSKILL, N.Y.. (Desember 1, 2015) – Kevin Dever Sport Management het die ondertekening van onoorwonne Kubaanse lig swaargewig vooruitsig aangekondig Luis “The Lion” Garcia 'n eksklusiewe bestuurs- kontrak.
Byna agt jaar gelede,Garcia (12-0, 9 Uitklophoue) oorgeloop van Kuba na Mexiko met mede-bokser Alexei Acosta. Garcia (12-0, 9 Uitklophoue), wat in Cork gevestig, Ierland, made his professional debut in 2008. He now lives in Peekskill, New York.
“Dit was 'n groter verandering toe ek verhuis na Ierland as ses weke gelede, toe ek hier ingetrek,” 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.”
Garcia het nie geveg in byna vier jaar as gevolg van vorige bestuurs- kwessies, maar sy terugkeer is geskeduleer Saterdag nag, Desember 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) Alexander Johnson Desember 30, 2011 in Cabazon, Kalifornië.
“Dit was nie my besluit om nie die afgelope vier jaar veg,” Garcia added. “Something happened with my now former manager and promoter. I trained all the time, sparred baie, 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 jaar. 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.
“Amerika bied my 'n goeie geleentheid, beter as Engeland of Ierland, and I’m going to finish my boxing career here. I’m fighting December 5ste 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.”
Garcia se twee gevegte voor sy laaste teen Johnson was indrukwekkend 2010 tegniese uitklophoue van die voormalige wêreldkampioen Byron Mitchell (28-6-1) en Jorge Rodriguez Olivera (19-1), onderskeidelik, in die tweede en sesde rondes.
“Ek het die boks met 'n slegte smaak in my mond, maar ek was op soek om terug te kry in die boks,” gesê Kevin Duty, wat mede-bestuur Garcia met Patrick Brown. “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. Ek dink eerlik dat, sodra hy het 'n paar goeie gevegte onder sy gordel, hy sal 'n top-aanspraakmaker in die lig swaargewig-afdeling wees. Luis Garcia is die beste vegter wat ek nog ooit gewerk het.”
Garcia, 'n Wêreld Junior Kampioenskap goue medalje, oorgeloop omdat hy ontnugter na 'n plek wat ontken die 2008 Kubaanse Olimpiese span, ten spyte hom verslaan uiteindelike Olimpiese silwermedaljewenner Emelio Correa, Jr. in the Cuban Olympic Qualifier. Correa is the son of 1972 Olimpiese kampioen Emelio Correa, Sr., wat nog betrokke was in die Kubaanse amateur boks toe sy seun is gekies oor Garcia Kuba verteenwoordig in die 2008 Olimpiese Spele. Correa lost in the championship final to James DeGale, die Brit wat tans die Internasionale Boksfederasie (IBF) super middelgewig titlist.
Nie 'n tipiese verdediging-eerste Kubaanse bokser, Garcia is bekend as 'n skerp ponser dat baie insiders geglo het meer onderstebo as enige Kubaanse boksers wat het oorgeloop, outside of Guillermo Rigondeaux en Yuriorkis gambo'n, wat albei verskeie-time wêreldkampioen as professionele geword.
Garcia is uit te werk van die Eerste Wees Boxing in Peekskill en Westchester Boxing Club in White Plains (NY), waar hy opgelei deur Nick “Kneukels” Delury en sy assistent, voormalige wêreld titel uitdager Larry Barnes (44-3, 17 Uitklophoue). A former No. 1 ingedeel welterweight aanspraakmaker in die wêreld, Barnes’ slegs drie verliese as 'n pro was om wêreldkampioene Felix “Tito” Trinidad, Saul Mamby en Luis Ramon “Yuri Boy” Kampus.
“Hy is 'n groot kind, baie slim en respek,” Delury kommentaar. “Daar is 'n paar roes uit om af vier jaar, maar Luis woon 'n goeie, healthy lifestyle and he hasn’t suffered any damage in the ring. Hy is 28, opgevoede, 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.”
