Tecate Ties in Garcia vs. Juanma with Pacquiao vs. Rios
It doesn’t take much motivation or marketing to get fans interested in the June 15 featherweight showdown between Miguel Angel ‘Mikey’ Garcia and Juan Manuel ‘JuanMa’ Lopez. The bout – which takes place at the American Airlines Center in Dallas and will air live on HBO – already has boxing fans buzzing about its potential as a Fight of the Year candidate. That won’t allow the event’s handlers and leading sponsor to allow the promotion to run on auto-pilot. Quite the contrary, as Top Rank and Tecate have found a new way to promote the show while also enticing fans about another event down the road – and on the other side of the world.

Mikey Garcia, JuanMa Lopez Ready To Light Up Dallas
By Jake Donovan - There is still a little over a month left before Miguel Angel ‘Mikey’ Garcia and Juan Manuel Lopez square off in Dallas, but the brass at HBO is already loving the forthcoming crossroads bout. “Mikey’s knockout ratio is 84%. Juan Manuel’s is 86%. I would hazard to guess that this fight isn’t going the distance,” predicts Peter Nelson, Director of Programming for HBO Sports. Whether it goes all 12 rounds or ends with the first punch thrown, the major crossroads bout figures to be fun for however long it lasts. Garcia is just now entering his prime, as evidenced in his dominant technical decision points win over Orlando Salido this past January. The win netted the unbeaten featherweight his first major championship, winning the very belt that once belonged to his forthcoming opponent. “It’s not an easy fight,” Garcia said of his future opponent. “But it’s the kind of fights you have to take as a champion.” The road to getting towards the title was meant to be a lot easier than the title fight itself. However, Garcia (31-0, 26KO) made it look near effortless in wresting the title from Salido, who had won five straight heading into the contest. Each of Salido’s five wins over that stretch ended inside the distance, beginning with a title-winning knockout effort over Lopez in the first of their eventual two-man crew.

Garcia: Juanma Has Nothing To Lose, He is Dangerous
If you’ve convincingly beaten the man who twice throroughly beat the man you’re about to fight, it’s natural to feel confident about winning. Mikey Garcia is too smart and too mature, though, to grow overconfident as he prepares for the first defense of his WBO featherweight title against former champion Juan Manuel Lopez on June 15 in Dallas. Garcia (31-0, 26 KOs) realizes Lopez (33-2, 30 KOs) desperately needs to dethrone him if the popular Puerto Rican challenger is to regain his star status and Garcia is approaching their HBO “Boxing After Dark” main event accordingly.
