Where does Danny Garcia get the inspiration to fight?
The 26 year old Light welterweight boxer has constantly been considered as a B-Side boxer and most of the time, viewers don't expect him to win. But during these times Garcia always had proven them wrong. He was able to beat Amir Khan and Lucas Matthysse during their fights.
This coming Saturday, Garcia will be fighting another fight but not as a class B fighter, now he will be in the main event of a Showtime-televised card at the Barclays Center in New York. He will; be fighting with Rod Salka in a non title fight.
Although Garcia has acquired is stature as the best super lightweight in the world, Salka on the other hand is a massive favorite of the crowd.
Garcia's Promoter Oscar De La Hoya is doing his best to promote him for fights. When De La Hoya was asked whether a fight with Mayweather is an option, he said "Look, we're focusing on the job at hand. Floyd Mayweather has Maidana in front of him in September. Danny Garcia has Salka in front of him [Saturday]. So it's really difficult now in these days to look ahead and plan for the future on all these fights, these mythical fights that everybody wants to watch, because we're experiencing something that hasn't been experienced in a long time in boxing."
He added "There are a lot of upsets in boxing today. There are a lot of these fights where people don't expect an opponent to win because of the champion, because of the stature of the champion. But we must pay attention to the fights at hand because you never know what's going to happen in boxing. ... One punch can turn everything around and so it's hard to look ahead and make plans."
There has been a rumor that says that Garcia won over his last fight because he was close to the promoters. With regards to this, Garcia said "When I was the underdog against Khan and against Matthysse, I couldn't understand it."
He Continued "How was I the underdog? But the media and people always want to choose the fighter with more fame and more publicity. That's what makes the underdog when you're fighting somebody who had probably a bigger name than you in the sport. But I never had in my mind that I was the underdog. I just trained hard, rose to the occasion and won in spectacular form."
