Crowd favorite “Minunat” Mykquan Williams (7-0, 4 KO) gave himself an early high school graduation present as the East Hartford fighter defeated Nicaraguan welterweight Ariel “La Guerra” Vasquez (13-18-2, 9 KO) in the former’s first six-round bout.

(L-R – Kevin Duty, Luis Garcia și Patrick Brown)
Peekskill, N.Y.. (Decembrie 1, 2015) – Kevin Dever Sport Management a anunțat semnarea neînvinsă perspective grea lumina cubanez Luis “Leul” Garcia pentru un contract de exclusivitate de conducere.
Acum aproape opt ani,Garcia (12-0, 9 KO) fugit din Cuba în Mexic cu colegii boxer Alexei Acosta. Garcia (12-0, 9 KO), care sa stabilit în Cork, Irlanda, și-a făcut debutul profesional în 2008. He now lives in Peekskill, New York.
“A fost o schimbare mai mare, atunci când m-am mutat în Irlanda decât a fost în urmă cu șase săptămâni, când m-am mutat aici,” 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 nu a luptat în aproape patru ani din cauza unor probleme manageriale anterioare, dar întoarcerea sa programat este sâmbătă noapte, Decembrie 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 decembrie 30, 2011 în Cabazon, California.
“Nu a fost decizia mea de a nu lupta în ultimii patru ani,” Garcia added. “Something happened with my now former manager and promoter. I trained all the time, sparred mult, 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 an. 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 îmi oferă o bună oportunitate, mai bine decât Anglia sau Irlanda, and I’m going to finish my boxing career here. I’m fighting December 5lea 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 a două lupte înainte de a ultimei sale împotriva Johnson au fost impresionante 2010 knockout tehnice ale fostului campion mondial Byron Mitchell (28-6-1) și Jorge Rodriguez Olivera (19-1), respectiv, în al doilea și al șaselea runde.
“Am plecat de box cu un gust neplacut in gura mea, dar am fost în căutarea pentru a obține înapoi în box,” a spus Kevin Duty, care a co-gestionează Garcia cu 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. Cred sincer că, odată ce are unele lupte bune sub centura lui, el va fi un concurent de top în divizia grea lumina. Luis Garcia este cel mai bun luptator am lucrat vreodată.”
Garcia, un medaliat cu aur la Campionatul Mondial Junior, fugit pentru că el a fost deziluzionat după ce a fost refuzat un loc pe 2008 Cubanez echipei olimpice, în ciuda el a învins eventuala medaliat cu argint olimpic Emelio Correa, Jr. in the Cuban Olympic Qualifier. Correa is the son of 1972 Campion olimpic Emelio Correa, Sr., care a fost încă implicat în boxul amator cubanez atunci când fiul său a fost selectat pe Garcia să reprezinte Cuba în 2008 Jocurile Olimpice. Correa lost in the championship final to James DeGale, britanicul care în prezent este Federația Internațională de box (IBF) super-mijlocie titlist.
Nu este un tipic boxer cubanez-apărare primul, Garcia este cunoscut ca un puncher clare că mulți insideri crezut avut mai susul decât orice boxeri cubanezi care au fugit, outside of Guillermo Rigondeaux și Yuriorkis Gamboo, care ambele au devenit multiple în timp campioni mondiali în calitate de profesioniști.
Garcia este de lucru din mai întâi de box din Peekskill și Westchester Box Club în White Plains (NY), unde este antrenat de Nick “Knuckles” Delury și asistentul său, challenger titlu fostul mondial Larry Barnes (44-3, 17 KO). A former No. 1 clasat pe locul pretendent semimijlocie în lume, Barnes’ doar trei pierderi ca un profesionist ar campioni mondiali Felix “Tito” Trinidad, Saul Mamby și Luis Ramon “Yuri Boy” Campus.
“E un copil minunat, foarte inteligent și respectuos,” Delury comentat. “Există unele rugina de la a fi pe patru ani, dar Luis trăiește un bun, healthy lifestyle and he hasn’t suffered any damage in the ring. E 28, educat, 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.”
