(L-R – Kevin tugas, Luis Garcia lan Patrick Brown)
PEEKSKILL, N.Y.. (Desember 1, 2015) – Kevin Dever Management Olahraga sampun ngumumaken tondo asto saka suwé Kuuban prospek abot cahya Luis “Singa” Garcia menyang kontrak kepemimpinan eksklusif.
Saklawasé wolung taun kepungkur,Garcia (12-0, 9 KOs) mbelot saka Kuba kanggo Mexico karo fellow boxer Alexei Acosta. Garcia (12-0, 9 KOs), sing dienggoni ing Cork, Ireland, made his professional debut in 2008. He now lives in Peekskill, New York.
“Iku owah-owahan ageng nalika aku dipindhah menyang Ireland saka iku enem minggu kepungkur nalika aku dipindhah kene,” 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 wis ora perang ing saklawasé papat taun amarga masalah kepemimpinan sadurungé, nanging bali kang dijadwal punika Setu iki wengi, 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 ing Desember 30, 2011 ing Cabazon, California.
“Iku ora kaputusan ora perang patang taun kepungkur,” Garcia added. “Something happened with my now former manager and promoter. I trained all the time, sparred kathah, 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 taun. 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 nawakake kula kesempatan sing apik, luwih saka Inggris utawa Ireland, 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 loro gelut sadurunge pungkasan marang Johnson padha nyengsemaken 2010 knockouts technical saka mantan juara dunia Byron Mitchell (28-6-1) lan Jorge Rodriguez Olivera (19-1), mungguh, ing babak kapindho lan enem.
“Nilar boxing karo rasa ala ing tutuk nanging aku iki looking kanggo njaluk bali menyang tinju,” ngandika Kevin tugas, sing co-saged Garcia karo 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. Aku sajujure mikir sing, sapisan wis sawetara gelut apik miturut marang sabuk, kang bakal dadi contender ndhuwur ing divisi abot cahya. Luis Garcia punika fighter paling aku wis tau kerjo karo.”
Garcia, a medali emas World Championship Junior, mbelot amarga piyambakipun disillusioned sawise kang rek titik ing 2008 Kuuban Team Olympic, senadyan wong ngalahaké akhire Olympic medali perak Emelio Correa, Jr. in the Cuban Olympic Qualifier. Correa is the son of 1972 Juara Olympic Emelio Correa, Sr., sing isih melu ing boxing amatir Kuuban nalika putrané kapilih liwat Garcia makili Cuba ing 2008 Olimpiade. Correa lost in the championship final to James DeGale, ing keluar sing saiki iku Boxing Federation International (IBF) Men titlist super.
Ora nimbali-page boxer Kuuban khas, Garcia dikenal minangka puncher asri sing akeh insiders pracaya wis luwih regane saka boxers Kuuban sing wis mbelot, outside of Guillermo Rigondeaux lan Yuriorkis Gamboa, sing loro-lorone wis dadi macem-macem-wektu juara donya minangka profesional.
Garcia apa metu saka Aja First Boxing ing Peekskill lan Westchester Boxing Club ing White Plains (NY), nang kono wis dilatih dening Nick “Knuckles” Delury asistene, judhul Challenger mantan donya Larry Barnes (44-3, 17 KOs). A former No. 1 ditingkat flyweight contender ing donya, Barnes’ mung telung losses minangka pro padha juara donya Felix “Tito” Trinidad, Ida Sang Prabu Saul Mamby lan Luis Ramon “Yuri Boy” Kampus.
“Kang bocah gedhe, banget pinter lan hormat,” Delury komentar. “Ana sawetara teyeng saka kang mati papat taun, nanging Luis urip apik, healthy lifestyle and he hasn’t suffered any damage in the ring. Dheweke iku 28, educated, 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.”
