By Dan Ambrose: Top Rank promoter Bob Arum has set up a fight between WBO super featherweight champion Mikey Garcia (33-0, 28 KO’s) and Juan Carlos Burgos (30-1-2, 20 KO’s) in a fight televised by HBO on January 25th at Madison Square Garden. Arum wasn’t interested in matching Mikey against Cuban Yuriorkis Gamboa, which would seem to have been a much better fight than this mismatch. Burgos is a fighter that has held to draws in his last two fights against Roman Martinez and Yakubu Amidu.
Arum said to RingTV “That [Garcia-Burgos] is done for Madison Square Garden. The contracts have been sent out today.”
