Kevin Dever Sports Management undirritar Undefeated Kúbu ljós þungavigtar Luis Garcia

Skildu eftir athugasemd
(L-R – Kevin Duty, Luis Garcia og Patrick Brown)
Peekskill, N.Y.. (Desember 1, 2015) – Kevin Dever Sports Management hefur tilkynnt um undirritun undefeated Kúbu ljós þungavigtar horfur Luis “The Lion” Garcia að sérstakri stjórnunar samning.
Næstum átta árum,Garcia (12-0, 9 Kos) Lagið frá Kúbu til Mexíkó með náungi Boxer Alexei Acosta. Garcia (12-0, 9 Kos), sem settust að í Cork, Írland, made his professional debut in 2008. He now lives in Peekskill, New York.
“Það var stærri breyting þegar ég flutti til Írlands en það var sex vikum þegar ég flutti hingað,” 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 hefur ekki barist í næstum 4 ár vegna fyrri stjórnunarstörfum málefni, en áætlað endurkomu hans er laugardag nótt, 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 í Cabazon, California.
“Það var ekki mín ákvörðun að berjast á undanförnum fjórum árum,” Garcia added. “Something happened with my now former manager and promoter. I trained all the time, sparred mikið, 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 ár. 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.
“America býður mér gott tækifæri, betri en Englandi eða Írlandi, 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.”
Tveir berst Garcia fyrri til hans síðasta móti Johnson var áhrifamikill 2010 tæknilegar knockouts fyrrverandi heimsmeistari Byron Mitchell (28-6-1) og Jorge Rodriguez Olivera (19-1), sig, í annarri og sjötta umferðir.
“Ég fór á box með slæmt bragð í munni mínum, en ég var að leita að komast aftur inn í box,” sagði Kevin Duty, sem samstarf stýrir Garcia með 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. Ég held nefnilega að, þegar hann hefur sumir góður slagsmál undir belti hans, hann verður að vera efst keppinautur í ljós þungavigtar deild. Luis Garcia er besti bardagamaður sem ég hef unnið með.”
Garcia, World Junior Championship gullverðlaunahafi, Lagið vegna þess að hann var vonsvikinn eftir að hafa verið neitað blettur á 2008 Kúbu Olympic Team, þrátt hann sigra endanlega Olympic silfur Minnispeningur Emelio Correa, Jr. in the Cuban Olympic Qualifier. Correa is the son of 1972 Olympic meistari Emelio Correa, Sr., sem var enn þátt í Kúbu áhugamaður box þegar sonur hans var valinn yfir Garcia tákna Kúbu í 2008 Olympics. Correa lost in the championship final to James DeGale, Brit sem nú er International Boxing Federation (IBF) frábær middleweight titlist.
Ekki dæmigerður varnar- fyrst Kúbu Boxer, Garcia er þekktur sem skörpum puncher sem margir innherjar talið hafði meira kosti en allir Kúbu Boxer sem hefur Lagið, outside of Guillermo Rigondeaux og Yuriorkis Gamboa, sem bæði hafa orðið margar sinni heimsmeistarar sem fagfólk.
Garcia er að vinna úr Vertu fyrstur box í Peekskill og Westchester Boxing Club í White Plains (NY), þar sem hann er þjálfaður af Nick “Knuckles” Delury og aðstoðarmaður hans, fyrrum veröld titill Challenger Larry Barnes (44-3, 17 Kos). A former No. 1 raðað welterweight keppinautur í heimi, Barnes’ aðeins þremur tap sem atvinnumaður var að heimsmeistarar Felix “Tito” Trinidad, Saul Mamby og Luis Ramon “Yuri Boy” Campus.
“Hann er frábær strákur, mjög klár og virðingu,” Delury athugasemd. “Það er einhver ryð frá því að vera burt fjórum árum, en Luis býr góður, healthy lifestyle and he hasn’t suffered any damage in the ring. Hann er 28, menntuðu, 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.”
