MONDAY MUSINGS: DON’T WRITE OFF GARCIA; THE DECLINE OF MARTINEZ
Despite having a break-out year in 2012 the jury is still out for current unified light welterweight champion, Danny Garcia.
The argument of not being sold on Garcia is one that does hold weight given that he has not yet faced the best in the division. On the other hand, though, the complete dismissal of a fighter who has fought just as good opposition as the other top fighters in his weight class, is somewhat mind-boggling.
Garcia’s top four fights and wins are more impressive than not.
He struggled in his first fight with Erik Morales, then inflicted punishment upon Amir Khan on way to a fourth round TKO before knocking out Morales in a rematch, also in the fourth round. His win over Judah, while many may see it as unimpressive considering the late rally from Judah in the final four rounds, did teach us something. Read more »
