By Thomas Gerbasi - For most boxers, fighting at Madison Square Garden is the Holy Grail, the destination they’ve been looking to reach since they first put on the gloves. For Seanie Monaghan, it’s simply home.
“I don’t really think about the venue too much,” said the Long Islander, who is back in the MSG Theater this Saturday to face veteran Matt Vanda on the Mikey Garcia-Juan Carlos Burgos undercard. “I’m very comfortable in Madison Square Garden and I think it’s more of a comfort thing than a ‘wow, I’m fighting in Madison Square Garden thing’ at this point. It feels like I’m fighting at home. This is going to be my sixth time fighting in the Garden, including the Golden Gloves, so I’m totally at ease right now. My weight is good, I’m in really, really good shape, I’m confident, and I’m ready to go.”
The unbeaten (19-0, 12 KOs) Monaghan approaches pretty much everything in his career with the same quiet confidence. Nothing fazes him too much, in or out of the ring, and that goes for the lead-up to this weekend’s bout as well, as a late change of opponent did nothing to throw him off from the task at hand, which is to keep winning, no matter who stands across the ring from him.
