DANNY GARCIA HAS CANDID CONVERSATION ABOUT THE ROLE OF HIS FATHER & THRIVING AS AN UNDERDOG IN THE REVEAL WITH MARK KRIEGEL PhilBoxing.com Thu, 23 Feb 2017  Danny Garcia opened up about his father Angel, his challenging childhood, and not getting the respect he deserves in an intimate conversation with award-winning reporter Mark Kriegel. The interview is the latest in a recurring SHOWTIME Sports digital series, THE REVEAL with Mark Kriegel, featuring exclusive and in-depth interviews with boxing?s emerging stars. Garcia, the WBC Welterweight World Champion, and Kriegel spoke in a wide-ranging conversation prior to his long-awaited unification showdown with fellow undefeated WBA Welterweight Champ Keith Thurman on Saturday, March 4 on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS, presented by Premier Boxing Champions, from Barclays Center, live on CBS from 9-11 p.m. ET/6-8 p.m. PT. Below are bites from THE REVEAL: Garcia on his father?s incarceration while he was a child: ?I was just a kid, I was confused. I didn?t know what was going on. I didn?t understand until I got older. I think that?s what motivated me today to be the best fighter I can be. ?The things I?ve been through as a kid ? waking up on your birthday not even knowing it?s your birthday, not having a birthday cake ? so it?s just a lot of things we went through in life that made me who I am today.? Garcia on his father?s approach to tough parenting and coaching following a loss in the amateurs: ?I love him for that because we have a perfect chemistry. I needed him, he needed me. I was a talented kid, but he made me believe in myself. I just loved boxing, I was just having fun?but to him, he was working, he was providing for the family. This was our way out. And once he told me that I never looked at it like that again. I took it serious and I just became the best fighter I could be.? Garcia when asked by Kriegel who is the most dangerous fighter in the division: ?Danny Garcia. You know why? Danny Garcia has always been the underdog and overlooked his whole career. And I?ve never been given the credit I deserve ever since I was a little kid. But you know what? It?s OK. I want people to overlook me so that when my hand is raised at the end of the night, what can they say?? # # # Tickets for the live event, which is promoted by DiBella Entertainment, start at $50 (not including applicable fees) and are on sale now.
