PROXY MEXICAN OPPONENT OF BOOM-BOOM DOUSED COLD WATER ON AN EXCITING NIGHT OF BOXING (PHOTOS) By Rene Bonsubre, Jr. PhilBoxing.com Sun, 04 Mar 2012  Tagbilaran City ? The outcome of the main event was expected and a lot of people were relieved that it was finally over. Fans did not get to see the Genaro Garcia that was advertised and billed as a tough test for Rey ?Boom Boom? Bautista. What they saw was a Mexican who was obviously scared and couldn?t punch. He had no business fighting inside the ring opposite the popular hometown boy. But the fans who gathered at the Carlos P. Garcia Sports Complex - estimated to be more than the 30,000, bigger than the crowd that saw AJ Banal vs Big Yoo two years ago - managed to give a polite applause and still enjoyed the entire fight card. The lack of action in the opening round made the crowd restless. In the second, two hooks sent Garcia down. He managed to get up but a short right sent him down for good. Referee Bruce McTavish counted him out at the 1:24 mark.
