Garcia: I’ll Show Puerto Rico They Have a True Champion

•Mar 6, 2014

Danny Garcia’s parents were born in Puerto Rico. He still has family there. So when Roman “Rocky” Martinez lost his world title last year, ostensibly leaving the island without a world titleholder, Garcia begged to differ. “I hear a lot of people saying Puerto Rico has no champions??” Garcia tweeted in November. “Wrong! You got me. 100% Puerto Rican.” Garcia, a Philadelphia native, says he went to Puerto Rico as a kid and also returned in recent years.

Maurico Herrera know that he’s the B-side in Danny Garcia’s upcoming fight — Garcia’s first since his big win last year over Lucas Matthysse, and a homecoming bout in Puerto Rico for a star whose parents were born on the island.

Danny Garcia is going from beating well-known names such as Zab Judah, Amir Khan and Lucas Matthysse to facing a lesser-known opponent in Mauricio Herrera. Not only that, but the March 15 fight will be a homecoming of sorts, with Garcia headlining in Puerto Rico, where his parents and grandparents are from. Is there any danger of a letdown for Garcia in the ring now that he’s such an overwhelming favorite to win? Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy Promotions very well might just have been doing his job as promoter of selling the fight, but he told reporters on March 5 that the ingredients are there — including the opponent.
