Second fight he iced him, which isn't anything extraordinary by any standards when it's at that point of Eriks career.
Khan was dominating him and on the way to a 5th or 6th round stoppage but Garcia's simplicity of just throwing a big punch was his only chance
Highly overrated Zab Judah gave him h*ll but he was able to pull out the W
Mathysse is a legit win, but he didn't find success in the fight until he messed with his eye
Herrara beat him soundly.
Rod Salka. Pathetic.
Lamont Peterson showed like many others how slow and one dimensional he is
Paulie was nothing impressive at all. Especially given that Paulie wasn't hurting him at all but Garcia like always played it safe and conservative until that boring fight came to an end
Robert guerrero with very mediocre power and very leaky defense was landing shot's all night making Garcia play it safe like always and fight on the backfoot
Bottom line, he fights a gutless fight because he is very average and doesn't have many tools or capabilities in his offense/defense.
His strategy is always
1. Throw hayemaker left hook
2. Reset
3. Repeat steps one and two
Now he is taking a completely conservative, very very low offense approach to fights and stinks out the whole joint. He just isn't anything great and I bet Devon Alexander or Chris Algieri would beat him in a wide UD very easily
He does have the "wins" on his resume and I'll give him that. He should be rated as one of the top guys at welterweight. I just think he is the big money fight that everyone wants because he is so beatable
