Danny Garcia: record, next fight and profile →
Keith Thurman has taunted Danny Garcia ahead of their much anticipated WBC and WBA world title unification showdown on March 4th insisting: “You ain’t fought a real welterweight!” Garcia embarks on his second year in the 147 lbs division with Thurman undoubtedly his toughest test up at the weight during this time frame.
PHILADELPHIA – Danny Garcia would’ve picked Kell Brook to beat Errol Spence Jr. After watching Brook absorb a beating against Gennady Golovkin, though, Garcia isn’t so sure. Now the unbeaten WBC world welterweight champion considers Brook-Spence an even encounter either fighter could win.
PHILADELPHIA – Danny Garcia is looking forward to testing Keith Thurman to the body. Thurman (27-0, 22 KOs) has been hurt by body shots during his career, most memorably against Luis Collazo in a July 2015 fight Thurman eventually won by technical knockout. That isn’t lost on Garcia (33-0, 19 KOs) as he prepares for their March 4 welterweight championship unification fight at Barclays Center in Brooklyn (CBS).
PHILADELPHIA – Angel Garcia knows the odds on his son’s fight against Keith Thurman. Danny Garcia’s father/trainer also knows his son has won countless fights he was supposed to lose from the time he was a young kid growing up in the rough Juniata Park neighborhood in North Philly. Thus the fact that handicappers have installed Thurman as about a 2½-to-1 favorite over Danny Garcia doesn’t faze the polarizing Angel Garcia one bit.
