Ku dhawaad ​​sideed sanno ka hor,Garcia (12-0, 9 KOs) goostay Cuba inay Mexico la feeryahanka la shaqayn jiray Alexei Acosta. Garcia (12-0, 9 KOs), kuwaas oo degay Cork, Ireland, made his professional debut in 2008. He now lives in Peekskill, New York.
“Waxay ahayd isbedel weyn markii aan u dhaqaaqay Ireland badan waxa uu ahaa lix toddobaad ka hor markii aan halkaan u dhaqaaqay,” 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 ayaa lama ayan diririn in ku dhawaad ​​afar sano ay sabab u tahay arimaha macalin hore, laakiin uu ka soo laabtay qorsheeyey waa Saturday this habeen, December 5, against an opponent to be determined in a six-round bout at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

“Ma waxay ahayd go'aankeyga ma ahan in ay la dagaallamaan afartii sano ee la soo dhaafay,” Garcia added. “Something happened with my now former manager and promoter. I trained all the time, sparred badan, 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 sano. 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 ii bixisaa fursad wanaagsan, yaa ka khayr badan England ama 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 ayaa laba dagaal hor inta uusan ugu danbeysay ee Johnson wacdarro 2010 group farsamo ee horyaalka hore ee aduunka Byron Mitchell (28-6-1) iyo Jorge Rodriguez Olivera (19-1), siday u kala horreeyaan, in ay wareeg labaad oo lixaad.

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. Waxaan si daacad ah u maleynayaa in, mar uu leeyahay qaar ka mid ah dagaal wanaagsan uu suunka hoos, Kaasu wuxuu ahaan doonaa tartamaya sarre ee horyaalka iftiin la saadaalinayaa. Luis Garcia waa dagaalyahan ugu fiican ee aan abid lasoo shaqeeyey.”

Correa lost in the championship final to James DeGale, hay'adda nabadsugida, kuwaas oo hadda waa Boxing International Federation (IBF) titlist dhexe super.
Ma feeryahanka caadiga ah difaaca-hore Cuba, Garcia waxaa loo yaqaan puncher ah tegayo lahaa in dhuun dad badan ayaa rumaystay dheeraad ah oo ka yeellay wax ka badan feertanka, Cuba oo badan goosteen, outside of Guillermo Rigondeaux iyo Yuriorkis ariga aha, oo labaduba waxay noqdeen badan jeer ku guuleysatay koobka adduunka sida xirfadlayaasha.
