Comments Thread For: Angel Garcia: Full Welterweight Probably Next for Danny

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

For some time, trainer Angel Garcia has said that it would be a gradual process as his son moves up from junior welterweight to welterweight.

Danny Garcia is the 140-pound champ, but his fight last year with Rod Salka had a weight limit of 142 pounds and his upcoming bout with Lamont Peterson has a contractual weight limit of 143 pounds.

Angel Garcia says a move all the way up to 147 is probably next.

“That’s what Danny wants to do. He wants to go up to welterweight,” Garcia told BoxingScene.com on April 9. “He been junior welterweight for eight years, since 2008, the USA Olympic Trials. He was ’40. And he’s still ’40. Discipline. That’s what tells you what kind of fighter he is.” [Click Here To Read More]

Severe beating awaits Danny at 147.

I think Danny will stop Peterson and then it would be nice if he is kind enough to give Khan a rematch to see him knock out Khan at welterweight too, if Khan is serious about fighting welters and not light welters as he seems more interested in at this time.
