Kevin Deber Xestión do Deporte asina Invicto cubano-pesado Luís García

Leave a comment
(L-R – Kevin Deber, Luís García e Patrick Brown)
Peekskill, N.I.. (Decembro 1, 2015) – Kevin Deber Xestión do Deporte anunciou a sinatura invicto dos medio-pesados ​​perspectiva cubana Luís “O León” Garcia para un contrato exclusivo de xestión.
Case oito anos,Garcia (12-0, 9 Kos) desertou de Cuba a México co compañeiro boxer Alexei Acosta. Garcia (12-0, 9 Kos), que se estableceu en Cork, Irlanda, made his professional debut in 2008. He now lives in Peekskill, Nova York.
“Foi un cambio maior cando me mudei para a Irlanda do que hai seis semanas, cando me mudei para aquí,” 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.”
García non loitou en case catro anos debido a cuestións xestionar anteriores, pero o seu retorno é programado este sábado noite, Decembro 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 decembro 30, 2011 en Cabazon, California.
“Non foi miña decisión de non loitar nos últimos catro anos,” Garcia added. “Something happened with my now former manager and promoter. I trained all the time, pelexaron moi, 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 anos. 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.
“América me ofrece unha boa oportunidade, mellor que a Inglaterra ou Irlanda, 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.”
Dúas loitas de García Antes da súa última contra Johnson foron impresionantes 2010 nocautes técnicos do ex-campión mundial Byron Mitchell (28-6-1) e Jorge Rodríguez Olivera (19-1), respectivamente, nas segunda e sexta rodadas.
“Deixei de boxeo con un gusto malo na miña boca, pero eu estaba mirando para volver ao boxeo,” dito Kevin Deber, que co-xestiona Garcia con 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. Creo sinceramente que, xa que ten algunhas boas loitas no seu currículo, vai ser un contedor superior na división dos medio-pesados. Luís García é o mellor loitador que eu xa traballei.”
Garcia, un medalhista de ouro do Campionato Mundial Júnior, desertou porque estaba desilusionado tras ser negado un lugar no 2008 Cuban Equipo Olímpica, a pesar del derrota eventual medalhista de prata olímpico Emelio Correa, JR. in the Cuban Olympic Qualifier. Correa is the son of 1972 Campión olímpico Emelio Correa, Sr., que aínda estaba implicado no boxeo afeccionado cubano cando o seu fillo foi seleccionado sobre García para representar Cuba en 2008 Xogos Olímpicos. Correa lost in the championship final to James Degale, o británico que actualmente é a Federación Internacional de Boxeo (IBF) campión de super-medios.
Non é un boxeador cubano típico defensa-primeiro, García é coñecido como un perforado nítido que moitos insiders cría tiña máis cabeza que calquera boxeadores cubanos que desertaron xa, outside of Guillermo Rigondeaux e Yuriorkis Gamboun, que ambos se fan campións mundiais en tempo múltiple como profesionais.
García traballa fóra do Be First Boxeo en Peekskill e Westchester Boxing Club en White Plains (Nova York), onde é adestrado por Entalhe “Knuckles” Delury eo seu asistente, o ex desafiante ao título mundial Larry Barnes (44-3, 17 Kos). A former No. 1 clasificado contedor welterweight no mundo, Barnes’ só tres derrotas como profesional foron campións do mundo Felix “Perico” Trinidad, Saul Mamby e Luis Ramón “Yuri Boy” Escola.
“El é un gran rapaz, moi intelixente e respectuosa,” Delury comentou. “Hai un pouco de ferruxe de estar fóra de catro anos, pero Luís vive un bo, healthy lifestyle and he hasn’t suffered any damage in the ring. El é 28, educado, 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.”
