Kevin Dever Sports Management ami Undefeated Cuba ina heavyweight Luis Garcia

Fi kan ọrọìwòye
(L-R – Kevin Duty, Luis Garcia ati Patrick Brown)
PEEKSKILL, N.Y.. (December 1, 2015) – Kevin Dever Sports Management ti kede awọn fawabale ti undefeated Cuba ina heavyweight afojusọna Luis “The kiniun” Garcia si ohun iyasoto ti iṣakoso guide.
O fere mẹjọ odun seyin,Garcia (12-0, 9 KOs) defected lati Cuba si Mexico pẹlu elegbe afẹṣẹja Alexei Acosta. Garcia (12-0, 9 KOs), ti o nibẹ ni Cork, Ireland, ṣe rẹ Uncomfortable ọjọgbọn ni 2008. He now lives in Peekskill, Niu Yoki.
“O je kan ti o tobi ayipada nigbati mo ti gbe lọ si Ireland ju ti o wà mefa ọsẹ seyin nigbati mo gbe nibi,” 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 ti ko ja ni fere merin years nitori si ti tẹlẹ ti iṣakoso oran, ṣugbọn rẹ se eto pada ni yi Saturday night, 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 on December 30, 2011 ni Cabazon, California.
“O je ko mi ipinnu ko lati ja ti o ti kọja mẹrin years,” Garcia added. “Something happened with my now former manager and promoter. I trained all the time, sparred a pupo, 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 years. 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 nfun mi kan ti o dara anfani, dara ju England tabi 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 ká meji njà saju si re kẹhin lodi si Johnson wà ìkan 2010 imọ knockouts ti tele aye asiwaju Byron Mitchell (28-6-1) ati Jorge Rodriguez Olivera (19-1), lẹsẹsẹ, ni awọn keji ati kẹfa iyipo.
“Mo fi silẹ pẹlu Boxing a buburu lenu ni ẹnu mi sugbon mo ti a nwa lati gba pada sinu Boxing,” wi Kevin Duty, ti o gbe-seto Garcia pẹlu 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. Mo ti nitootọ ro wipe, ni kete ti o ni o ni diẹ ninu awọn ti o dara njà labẹ rẹ igbanu, o yoo jẹ a oke contender ninu awọn ina heavyweight pipin. Luis Garcia ni ti o dara ju Onija Mo ti sọ lailai sise pẹlu.”
Garcia, a World asiwaju Junior goolu medalist, defected nitori ti o ti ate lẹhin ti a sẹ a iranran lori awọn 2008 Cuba Olympic Team, pelu u bori eventual Olympic fadaka medalist Emelio Correa, Jr. in the Cuban Olympic Qualifier.

Correa lost in the championship final to James DeGale, awọn majẹmu ti o logan ni awọn International Federation Boxing (IBF) Super middleweight titlist.
