By Chris Williams: Getting booed from start to finish, WBO super featherweight champion Mikey Garcia (34-0, 28 KO’s) did what he had to do for him to beat Juan Carlos Burgos (30-2-2, 20 KO’s) tonight by a 12 round unanimous decision at the Madison Square Garden Theater, in New York, New York, USA. There weren’t any knockdowns in the fight, but Mikey almost went down in the 2nd round when he was hit by a left hook that he never saw coming from Burgos.
Like always, Mikey showed good power with both hands, and he probably would have scored a stoppage if he had pushed hard for it in the 2nd half of the fight. But Mikey looked like he didn’t want to take any chances of getting caught with something while going for the knockout.
