(L-R – Kevin boikarabelo ba, Luis Garcia le Patrick Brown)
PEEKSKILL, N.Y.. (December 1, 2015) – Kevin Dever Sports Management o profetile ya go saena Krrish Cuba leseli heavyweight tšepo Luis “The Lion” Garcia ho a ikgethileng a ya tsamaiso konteraka.
Hoo e ka bang lilemo tse robeli months ago,Garcia (12-0, 9 Kos) defected ho tloha Cuba ho Mexico-'moho le rōna Boxer Alexei Acosta. Garcia (12-0, 9 Kos), ba ba ile ba lula Cork, Ireland, made his professional debut in 2008. He now lives in Peekskill, New York.
“E ne e le khōloanyane fetola ha ke ile ka fallela Ireland ho feta e ne e le libeke tse tšeletseng fetileng ha ke ile ka fallela mona,” 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 ha loana hoo e ka bang lilemo tse 'nè ka lebaka la ho fetileng bolaodi litaba tse, empa hae ho lokiselitsoe khutlela ke ena Moqebelo bosiu, December 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 ka December 30, 2011 a Cabazon, California.
“Ho ne ho se qeto ea ka se ke ua ho loantša nakong e fetileng lilemo tse 'nè,” Garcia added. “Something happened with my now former manager and promoter. I trained all the time, sparred e ngata, 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 lilemo tse. 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 e fana ka 'na monyetla o motle oa, molemo ho feta ho England kapa Ireland, and I’m going to finish my boxing career here. I’m fighting December 5go th 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 ba babeli ho tlisa lintoa pele ho hae ea ho qetela khahlanong le Johnson ba ne ba tsotehang 2010 botekgeniki knockouts tsa pele lefatše 'mampoli Byron Mitchell (28-6-1) le Jorge Rodriguez Olivera (19-1), ka ho latellana, a la bobeli le botšelela garela.
“Ke ile ka tloha papali ea litebele le e mpe tatso molomong oa ka empa ke ne ke batla ho khutlela ka papali ea litebele,” a re Kevin boikarabelo ba, ba CO-khona Garcia le 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. Ke ka botšepehi nahana hore, -hang a o na le ba bang ba molemo ho tlisa lintoa tlas'a lebanta la hae, a tla ba holimo contender leseling heavyweight arola. Luis Garcia ke molemo ka ho fetisisa oke Ke 'nile ka leha e le neng ile a sebetsa le.”
Garcia, Lefatše Junior Championship khauta medalist, defected hobane o ne a nyahamisitsoe ka mor'a ho a latola ea sebakeng se ka 2008 Cuba Olympic Team, ho sa tsotellehe mo hlōla ba tla qetella ba Olympic silevera medalist Emelio Correa, Refresh. in the Cuban Olympic Qualifier. Correa is the son of 1972 Olympic 'mampoli Emelio Correa, Katha., ba ne a ntse a ho akarelletsa Cuba tsenwe papali ea litebele ha mora oa hae o ile a khethoa ka Garcia ho emela Cuba ka 2008 Liolimpiki. Correa lost in the championship final to James DeGale, le Brit ba hona joale ke International Boxing Federation (IBF) bartolomeo middleweight titlist.
Se ke ua e tloaelehileng ea tshireletso-pele Cuba Boxer, Garcia o tsejoa e le le a hlasimollang puncher hore ba bangata ba insiders lumela o ne a ho feta bo shebile ho feta leha e le efe Cuba boraditebele ba nile ka defected, outside of Guillermo Rigondeaux le Yuriorkis Gamboe, a ileng a fetohile multiple ea nako e lefatše baemeli ba litsebi.
Garcia a sebetsa ka ntle ho ba oa Pele Boxing a Peekskill le Westchester Boxing Club a White Plains (NY), moo a koetlisitsoeng ke Nick “Knuckles” Delury le mothusi oa hae, pele e neng e lefatše sehlooho challenger Larry Barnes (44-3, 17 Kos).

O ile a 's 28, ba rutehileng, 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.
