[Rome-By-Ko]

I would much rather had seen Garcia fight a Mayfield,but Garcia deserves a soft touch imo..Not a bad match up all and all..

so when they promote this in pr is he gonna be speaking english to the puerto rican fans? this can go very bad because i dont think puerto rico has embraced him. he needs to get rosetta stone asap

This is the truth lol If he really wants to be accepted he should try to learn to speak fluent spanish.

At least Danny has pride that his parents come from P.R. found this on BoxRec.

== Biography ==
'''Danny Oscar Garcia''' was born in northern Philadelphia to a mother from Bayamon, Puerto Rico and Angel Garcia, originally from Naguabo, Puerto Rico, who was a former boxer himself. It was his father who introduced him to boxing, taking him to a gym as soon as he was ten years old, which is the required minimum allowed by local law. Since this stage, Angel Garcia also became his trainer. Being raised in the city with the second largest Puerto Rican community in the United States, Garcia identifies with his heritage, stating early in his career the desire to become the "next great Puerto Rican fighter". He looks up to Hall-of-Famer [[Carlos Ortiz]] as his favorite boxer and considers [[Carlos Ortiz vs. Len Matthews|Ortiz's fight against Lenny Mathews]] in Philadelphia among the most memorable he has seen.

This is all because a couple days ago Gabe Rosado came out saying "Puerto Rico loves me" blah, blah "The people in Puerto Rico have no champion right now, would you (Rosado) like to be their champion?" Garcia came to mind immediately and I know I saw Garcia doing interviews in Spanish. Also, what about Cotto? I mean, I know he don't got no belt right now, but damn! What a slap in the face! Cotto is still the #3 PPV name out there. WTF.

Danny deserves to fight in front of his people now. I like the fact that he wants to fight in Puerto Rico, because a lot of ricans are saying there's no world champions there.

Well, he's the closest you'll come so you better embrace that.

someone should donate points to me for kknowing they would promote it using the ruslan defeat goldenboy is trash

About to note the same thing. If you can't match him up with Prov, put him up with the guy who beat him years ago. Golden Boy must love triangle theories.

[ShoulderRoll]

He's entitled to an easier opponent after Matthysse and it will be a nice showcase for him in PR.

Plus Herrera is not that bad of a fighter, he has given tough fights to Mayfield and Alvarado and got that win over Ruslan.

Puerto Ricans have bad luck fighting Mexicans on the Island

ask Juanma, Calderon and Bomba Gonzalez...

but Danny aint a real rican so maybe it doesnt apply jajaja

Get outta here with that fake Rican crap.

They better embrace him! Wtf, they're going diss a great fighter just because he doesn't speak fluent spanish? And support these bums from the island just because they're from the island? If so then they're a bunch of idiots over there. Danny is getting plenty of love though from the people I speak to in Puerto Rico so let's see how everything plays out.
