Robert Garcia is from my home town and I have had the pleasure to meet him. The margarito fight was his first major fight and in my opinion the lights were too bright for him. He fought completely out of his character and down right like an amateur. He has been getting good work lately. Shawn Porter used him as his main sparring partner to prepare for Alexander. Hopefully he does well in this fight and can at at the very minimum have a gabriel rosado gatekeeper role in the game. Omar Figueroa is from weslaco as well...2 relevant boxers from a town with a 35K population is reviving boxing in south texas
