Deerfield Beach, FL (July 25, 2018)?Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin?s rematch is all set for Mexican Independence Day on September 15th in Las Vegas, but what better way to add a little war to the card than having two Mexicans do battle.
Roberto Garcia just witnessed Jaime Munguia?s unanimous decision over Liam Smith on Saturday night and if Munguia is ready to return to the ring on September 15th, Garcia is ready as well.
?What better way to celebrate Mexican Independence Day than to have two Mexican?s do battle,? said Garcia. ?We are both warriors. One veteran taking on one youngster. We both come to fight. Let?s get it on.?
Garcia is thankful to Zanfer Promotions (Munguia?s co-promoter with Golden Boy) for giving him his career defining fight against Julio Cesar Chavez?s son, Omar Chavez.
Garcia won that fight on Aug. 12, 2017 in a 10-round unanimous decision to win the WBC Silver Middleweight title.
Garcia lost his title in his first defense after traveling to England and losing a unanimous 12-round decision to Martin Murray on June 23, 2018.
?Two warriors doing battle, ?Thunder vs Lightning? , both fighters coming forward all night , I?ll KO the ?Kid? somewhere late in the fight or I win by unanimous decision.?
No doubt the fight would be epic.
