“Broner vs. Garcia is one of the year’s biggest matchups in boxing and we anticipate an electric atmosphere at Barclays Center,” va dir Brett Yormark, CEO de Brooklyn Sports & Entreteniment. “This will be our fourth major card in 2017 as BROOKLYN BOXING continues to deliver dramatic moments, baralles competitives, and many of the sport’s biggest names to fight fans.”
Broner and Garcia, two world-class fighters in their prime, meet at a critical time in their respective careers in one of the most intriguing matches in boxing. Both Broner and Garcia have had spectacular victories at Barclays Center in Brooklyn during their careers. Broner successfully defended his welterweight title against Paulie Malignaggi at Barclays Center on June 22, 2013, and Garcia, coming off a lengthy layoff, defeated Elio Rojas via fifth-round TKO at the arena on July 30, 2016.
Broner, a three-division world champion by the age of 23, and one of the youngest four-division world champions in boxing history, remains one of the most accomplished and popular athletes in the sport today. Among the top 140-pounders in the world, Broner is undefeated at or below 140 pounds with his only two losses coming against welterweight world champions Marcos Maidana and Shawn Porter. Amb només 27 anys, Broner (33-2, 24 KOs) still believes he is the future of the sport and looks to prove it against Garcia onDissabte, Juliol 29.
Hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio, Broner has achieved more in his young career than most fighters can hope for in a lifetime. After earning world titles at 130, 135 i 147 lliura, Broner won a belt in a fourth weight division – 140 lliura – a l'octubre 2015 when he defeated Khabib Allakhverdiev via 12º round stoppage to become the second youngest four-division champion in boxing history at 26 (behind Oscar De La Hoya, 24). Broner will turn 28 years old on Juliol 28, the day before his bout with Garcia.
García, 29 years old and undefeated (36-0, 30 KOs), is a recently crowned lightweight champion and one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the sport. He will move up in weight for the second time in just three fights to challenge Broner. García és membre d'una coneguda família de la boxa, i destaca per la seva esportivitat i la seva presència imponent al ring, perfeccionat pel seu germà i entrenador aclamat per Robert García. He has held world titles at 126, 130 i 135 lliura, but has never fought above 138.
García, de Moreno Valley a través de Oxnard, Qualif., va tornar al ring després d'una absència de dos anys i mig anys al juliol 2016 without missing a beat. After defeating Rojas, Garcia became a three-division champion by beating previously undefeated lightweight world champion Dejan Zlaticanin with a vicious third-round knockout this January. Garcia has stopped 19 del seu passat 21 oponents incloent romana “Rocós” Martínez, Juan Manuel Lopez, Orlando Salido and Bernabe Concepcion.
