Kevin Dever Sports Management potpisuje Neporaženi kubanski poluteškoj Luis Garcia

Ostavite komentar
(L-R – Kevin Duty, Luis Garcia je i Patrick Brown)
PEEKSKILL, N.Y.. (Decembar 1, 2015) – Kevin Dever Sports Management je najavio potpisivanje neporažena kubanske poluteškoj Prospect Luis “The Lion” Garcia na ekskluzivni ugovor menadžerske.
Prije skoro osam godina,Garcia (12-0, 9 KOs) prebjegao iz Kube u Meksiko sa kolegama boxer Alexei Acosta. Garcia (12-0, 9 KOs), koji su se nastanili u Cork, Irska, made his professional debut in 2008. He now lives in Peekskill, Njujork.
“To je bio veći promjenu kada sam se preselila u Irskoj nego što je bio prije šest tjedana, kada sam se preselio ovdje,” 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 nije borio u gotovo četiri godine, zbog prethodne menadžerskih pitanja, ali njegov povratak je planiran ove subote noć, Decembar 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 na dan 30, 2011 u Cabazon, Kalifornija.
“To nije bila moja odluka da se ne bore u protekle četiri godine,” Garcia added. “Something happened with my now former manager and promoter. I trained all the time, nadmeću puno, 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 godina. 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 mi pruža dobru priliku, bolji nego u Engleskoj ili Irskoj, and I’m going to finish my boxing career here. I’m fighting December 5th 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 dva borbe prije nego što je prošlog protiv Johnson bili impresivni 2010 tehnički knockouts bivšeg prvaka svijeta Byron Mitchell (28-6-1) i Jorge Rodriguez Olivera (19-1), odnosno, u druge i šeste runde.
“Ostavio sam boks sa gorak ukus u ustima, ali sam tražio da se vratim u boks,” rekao je Kevin Duty, koji je co-upravlja Garcia sa 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. Iskreno mislim da je, kada on ima neke dobre borbe pod pojasom, on će biti glavni kandidat u poluteškoj podjela. Luis Garcia je je najbolji borac sam ikad radio.”
Garcia, World Championship Junior osvajač zlatne medalje, prebjegao zato što je bio razočaran nakon što je porekao je mjesto na 2008 Cuban olimpijski tim, bez obzira na njega porazivši eventualno olimpijski srebrne medalje Emelio Correa, Jr. in the Cuban Olympic Qualifier. Correa is the son of 1972 Olimpijski šampion Emelio Correa, Sr., koji je još uključen u kubanskim amaterski boks kada je njegov sin je izabran preko Garcia da predstavlja Kubu u 2008 Olimpijske igre. Correa lost in the championship final to James DeGale, Brit koji trenutno je Međunarodni Boxing federacije (IBF) super srednjoj kategoriji titlist.
Nije tipičan za odbranu prvi kubanski bokser, Garcia je poznat kao oštar udarač da su mnogi vjerovali insajderi su imali više gore nego bilo koja kubanskih boksera koji su dezertirali, outside of Guillermo Rigondeaux i Yuriorkis Gamboa, koji su obojica su postali više-svjetskim prvacima kao profesionalci.
Garcia se radi iz prve Budite Boxing u Peekskill i Westchester Bokserski klub u White Plains (Njujork), gdje je trenirao Zarez “Zglavci” Delury i njegov pomoćnik, bivši svetski Naslov Challenger Larry Barnes (44-3, 17 KOs). A former No. 1 rangirana velter konkurent u svijetu, Barnes’ samo tri poraza kao profesionalac bili u svijetu prvaci Feliks “Tito” Trinidad, Saul Mamby i Luis Ramon “Yuri Boy” Studentski grad.
“On je divno dijete, vrlo pametan i poštovanja,” Delury prokomentarisao. “Ima nekih rđe od toga off četiri godine, ali Luis živi dobro, healthy lifestyle and he hasn’t suffered any damage in the ring. On je 28, obrazovan, 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.”
