Robert Garcia, trainer of WBC interim-middleweight champion Marco Antonio Rubio (59-6-1, 51KOs), feels confident about their game plan to shock WBA/IBO middleweight champion Gennady "GGG" Golovkin (30-0, 27KOs) on Saturday night at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.
Golovkin is a huge favorite in the fight. Garcia expects Rubio to display his inner-warrior as a Mexican fighter, but wants him to be cautious and fight smart by always taking Golovkin's power into consideration.
"The show is called Mexican Style and Triple G does bring that style....comes forward, good puncher, a lot of bodyshots...that's exactly what Mexicans love to see. But with my fighter, you know, he's not only Mexican style - he has Mexican blood running in him - something Triple G doesn't have. Hopefully that makes a little bit of difference in the fight. We have to fight smart, we can't go out there and be wild to please the crowd. We have to be smart because Golovkin does have tremendous power," Garcia told BoxingScene.com.
