Danny Garcia will DESTROY Thurman says Angel G

garcia100

By Dan Ambrose: Trainer Angel Garcia has seen enough of WBA welterweight champion Keith “One Time” Thurman’s past fights to know in his mind that his son WBC 147lb champion Danny “Swift” Garcia will destroy Thurman when the two of them meet up in the first quarter of 2017. That’s when their manager Al Haymon plans on matching them against each other.

While a lot of boxing fans see the Garcia-Thurman fight as being a competitive one, Angel believes that his son is going to destroy Thurman to take his WBA title from him. Angel specifically sees Danny’s body punching as being a problem for Thurman, because he was hurt in the past with a body shot in his fight against Luis Collazo. Angel thinks Garcia can hurt Thurman in the same way to take him out of there.

Danny Garcia: I’ll fight Canelo after Thurman

garcia73

By Dan Ambrose: After wasting the last three years of his career fighting largely weaker, WBC welterweight champion Danny Garcia is now saying he wants Keith Thurman and Saul Canelo Alvarez in back to back fights after he gets past contender Samuel Vargas (25-2-1, 13 KOs) in their fight on November 12.

Garcia is already slotted to face Thurman in a unification fight in early 2017. What’s interesting is that Garcia is now looking past the Thurman fight towards a match against former WBC middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez. The unbeaten Garcia (32-0, 18 KOs) thinks he can beat Canelo. He says he’s a better fighter than the last guy Canelo fought in Liam Smith.

Danny Garcia not underestimating Samuel Vargas

By Allan Fox: Danny Garcia (32-0, 18 KOs) won’t have his WBC welterweight title on the line next month in his 10 round fight against #6 WBA Samuel Vargas (25-2-1, 13 KOs) on November 12 at the Liacoursas Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Garcia isn’t underestimating the 5’9” Vargas even though the fight is seen as a major mismatch and just a tune-up fight. Garcia is expecting Vargas to be a tough fight for him.

Premier Boxing Champions will be televising the fight on Spike. It’s unclear whether Showtime would have agreed to televise a mismatch like this as a main event on their network, but Spike is willing to put it on. This is Garcia’s last step before he faces WBA welterweight champion Keith “One Time” Thurman in early 2017.

Thurman to Danny Garcia: Enjoy your last cherry of 2016

Keith Thurman

By Dan Ambrose: WBA World welterweight champion Keith “One Time” Thurman decided to get in a little dig at WBC 147lb champion Danny Garcia on Wednesday after learning that he’s going to be facing little known Samuel Vargas in his next fight on November 12. Garcia’s fight against Vargas isn’t going to be a title defense despite the fact that Garcia still defended his World Boxing Council 147lb title since winning the belt last January against Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero.

It looks like the WBC is going to allow Garcia more time before he eventually is required to defend his WBC belt. Thurman and Garcia are expected to face each other in early 2017 in a unification fight. However, if Garcia isn’t going to defend his title before that time, then it begs the question of why the WBC is allowing Garcia to hold onto his title with their organization.

Danny Garcia vs. Samuel Vargas on November 12

1-Danny Garcia_Workout3

By Jim Dower: Danny Garcia (32-0, 18 KOs) will be fighting next month against little known #15 WBC fringe contender Samuel Vargas (25-2-1, 13 KOs) in a scheduled 10 round non-title fight on on November 12 on Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on Spike at the Liacouras Center, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Vargas is ranked #6 by the WBA. Vargas has never beaten a contender before.

For many fans, this is terribly disappointing news, because they were hoping the 28-year-old Garcia would break out of his three-year funk of facing poor opposition and would start facing quality opponents once again. Garcia’s fight against the Canadian based Vargas is being called a tune-up fight to get Garcia ready for a unification match against fellow PBC fighter WBA welterweight champion Keith “One Time” Thurman in early 2017.
