Angel Garcia, father of WBC/WBA junior welterweight champion Danny Garcia, is not impressed with WBO champion Ruslan Provodnikov of Siberia.
On March 15th in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, Garcia will defend his title against Mauricio Herrera. The signature win on Herrera's record was over an undefeated Provodnikov in 2011. But Angel sees no reason to be impressed with Herrera's victory over Provodnikov. The outspoken trainer believes Provodnikov's style is easy to figure out.
"What's his name? How do you say that? The guy is not even a world star fighter. Everybody keeps saying he's a killer. They made him seem like a killer, ESPN did that. He ain't no killer. All he do is come in with an overhand right hook. It's as simple as that. Anybody can beat him. All you have to do is bang, bang, bang and then step over and grab him....bang, bang, bang and then step over and grab him," Angel told BoxingScene.com.
