“Against a southpaw, the left hook to the liver is there, a punch I’m known for,” Remillard commented after the fight. “He was a little sloppier than I expected. Ich fühlte mich gut; Ich bin 24/7 in the gym. Maybe I’ll have one more fight this year to get in some rounds, and then get ready for a big 2018. I want a rematch with Garcia, bei 135 oder 140 Pfund, 100-Prozent. He owes me a rematch. The guy he beat wasn’t me.”

“This win was humungous for me,” said an overjoyed Arias, after his first six-round fight. “I had a game plan, but once he hurt me in the first round, my heart took over and I just fought. I like to fight for the people, so I held on in the first instead of taking a knee.”
Mykquan Williams (R) celebrated his high school graduation a little early
Crowd favorite “Wunderbar” Mykquan Williams (7-0, 4 KOs) gave himself an early high school graduation present as the East Hartford fighter defeated Nicaraguan welterweight Ariel “La Guerra” Vasquez (13-18-2, 9 KOs) in the former’s first six-round bout.

Vor fast acht Jahren,Garcia (12-0, 9 KOs) aus Kuba übergelaufen nach Mexiko mit anderen Boxer Alexei Acosta. Garcia (12-0, 9 KOs), , die in Cork angesiedelt, Irland, gab sein professionelles Debüt in 2008. He now lives in Peekskill, New York.
“Es war eine größere Veränderung als ich nach Irland, als es war vor sechs Wochen, als ich hierher zog,” 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 hat sich in fast vier Jahren wegen der früheren Führungsfragen gekämpft, aber seine geplante Rückkehr ist an diesem Samstag Nacht, Dezember 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 im Dezember 30, 2011 in Cabazon, Kalifornien.
“Es war nicht meine Entscheidung, nicht die letzten vier Jahre kämpfen,” Garcia added. “Something happened with my now former manager and promoter. I trained all the time, kämpfte viel, 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 Jahre. 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 bietet mir eine gute Gelegenheit,, besser als England oder Irland, 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.”
Garcias zwei Kämpfe vor seinem letzten gegen Johnson waren beeindruckend 2010 technischen Knockouts von Ex-Weltmeister Byron Mitchell (28-6-1) und Jorge Rodriguez Olivera (19-1), beziehungsweise, in der zweiten und sechsten Runden.
“Ich verließ Boxen mit einem schlechten Geschmack im Mund, aber ich war auf der Suche, um wieder in Boxen zu bekommen,” sagte, Kevin Pflicht, die Co-Manager Garcia mit Patrick Braun. “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. Ich denke ehrlich, dass, sobald er hat einige gute Kämpfe auf dem Buckel, er wird ein Top-Anwärter in der Halbschwergewicht sein. Luis Garcia ist der beste Kämpfer, den ich je gearbeitet habe.”
Garcia, ein World Junior Championship Goldmedaillengewinner, gelaufen, weil er enttäuscht war, nachdem er einen Platz auf der verweigert 2008 Kubanische Olympiamannschaft, obwohl ihn besiegen eventuelle Olympia-Zweite Emelio Correa, Jr. in the Cuban Olympic Qualifier.

“Er ist ein großes Kind, sehr klug und respekt,” Delury kommentiert. “Es gibt einige Rost entfernt, ab 4 Jahre, aber Luis lebt eine gute, healthy lifestyle and he hasn’t suffered any damage in the ring. Er ist 28, gebildet, 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.”
