Kevin Dever Sports Ġestjoni jiffirma Undefeated heavyweight dawl Kuban Luis Garcia

Ħalli kumment
(L-R – Kevin Dazju, Luis Garcia u Patrick Brown)
Peekskill, N.Y.. (Diċembru 1, 2015) – Kevin Dever Sports Ġestjoni ħabbret l-iffirmar ta 'prospett heavyweight dawl Kuban undefeated Luis “Il Lion” Garcia għal kuntratt ta maniġerjali esklussiv.
Kważi tmien snin ilu,Garcia (12-0, 9 Kos) defected minn Kuba lejn il-Messiku ma 'Boxer sħabi Alexei Acosta. Garcia (12-0, 9 Kos), li kostanti f'Cork, Irlanda, made his professional debut in 2008. He now lives in Peekskill, New York.
“Kienet bidla akbar meta mort l-Irlanda milli kien sitt ġimgħat ilu meta mort hawn,” 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 ma iġġieled kważi erba 'snin minħabba kwistjonijiet maniġerjali preċedenti, imma ritorn skedata tiegħu huwa din is-Sibt lejl, Diċembru 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 fuq Diċembru 30, 2011 fil CABAZON, California.
“Ma kienx deċiżjoni tiegħi mhux il-ġlieda l-aħħar erba 'snin,” Garcia added. “Something happened with my now former manager and promoter. I trained all the time, sparred ħafna, 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 snin. 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 joffri me opportunità tajba, aħjar minn Ingilterra jew l-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.”
Garcia żewġ tissielet qabel l-aħħar tiegħu kontra Johnson kienu impressjonanti 2010 knockouts tekniċi tal-eks champion tad-dinja Byron Mitchell (28-6-1) u Jorge Rodriguez Olivera (19-1), rispettivament, fit-tieni u s-sitt rawnds.
“I xellug boxing b'togħma ħażina fil-ħalq tiegħi imma I kien qed ifittex li terġa 'lura fis boxing,” qal Kevin Dazju, li ko-tamministra Garcia ma 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. I onestament naħseb li, ladarba huwa għandu xi ġlied tajba taħt ċinturin tiegħu, hu ser jkun konkorrent top fid-diviżjoni heavyweight dawl. Luis Garcia huwa l-aħjar ġlied stajt qatt ħadem ma.”
Garcia, a medalist deheb World Championship Junior, defected għaliex kien diżillużi wara li jkunu miċħuda post fuq il- 2008 Kuban Olimpiku Tim, minkejja lilu jisfratta eventwali medalist fidda Olimpiku Emelio Correa, Jr. in the Cuban Olympic Qualifier. Correa is the son of 1972 Champion Olimpiku Emelio Correa, Sr., li kien għadu involut fl dilettanti Kuban boxing meta ibnu kien magħżul fuq Garcia li jirrappreżentaw Kuba fil- 2008 Olimpjadi. Correa lost in the championship final to James DeGale, l Brit li bħalissa huwa l-Federazzjoni Internazzjonali Boxing (IBF) titlist middleweight super.
Mhux Boxer Kuban tipiku-difiża ewwel, Garcia huwa magħruf bħala zgħir iqarmeċ li ħafna insiders jemmnu kellhom aktar rasu minn xi boxers Kubani li stajt defected, outside of Guillermo Rigondeaux u Yuriorkis Gamboa, li t-tnejn saru ċampjins tad-dinja multiple-żmien bħal professjonisti.
Garcia qed taħdem barra mill-Ikunu Ewwel Boxing fil Peekskill u Westchester Boxing Club fil-White Plains (NY), fejn huwa mħarrġa minn Nick “Knuckles” Delury u assistent tiegħu, titolu isfidant ex dinja Larry Barnes (44-3, 17 Kos). A former No. 1 kklassifikati konkorrent welterweight fid-dinja, Barnes’ biss tliet telf bħala pro kellhom ċampjins tad-dinja Felix “Tito” Trinidad, Saul Mamby u Luis Ramon “Yuri Boy” Campus.
“HES kid kbir, ħafna intelliġenti u rispettuż,” Delury ikkummenta. “Hemm xi sadid milli off erba 'snin, imma Luis jgħix tajjeb, healthy lifestyle and he hasn’t suffered any damage in the ring. Hu 28, edukati, 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.”
