Professional career

Featherweight

Early career

García is known as a patient fighter with good punching power, a natural right-hander who likes to switch to southpaw during some of his fights. He turned pro in 2006 and signed with Bob Arum's Top Rank.[15] Garcia was undefeated in his first 20 professional fights, winning them all with 17 of them coming by way of knockout.

In April 2010, Miguel Ángel beat the veteran Tomas Villa by T.K.O. in the first round, to win the USBA Featherweight Championship.[16] He then beat Matt Remillard to win the WBO NABO Featherweight Championship. This would not only be the last boxing bout but also the last event Nick Charles would broadcast, Charles would die a few days later from cancer.[17]

In his next fight HBO asked García to turn down a world title shot against Billy Dib to fight on the undercard of Julio César Chávez, Jr. vs. Sebastian Zbik. After his win over Rafaël Guzmán, García sent his well wishes to Genaro Hernández who was struggling with cancer, Hernández would die a few days later.[18] Months later he beat Juan Carlos Martinez in under four rounds at the Madison Square Garden in New York City.[19]

García vs. Salido

Garcia's first major step up in competition came on January 19, 2013 against WBO Featherweight champion and Ring No. 1 ranked featherweight, Orlando Salido. Garcia dominated the bout from the very beginning, keeping Salido at range with the jab. Garcia knocked Salido down four times early on in the fight, building up a large lead on the scorecards. During the 8th round, Salido accidentally clashed heads with Garcia, causing Garcia's nose to break. The fight was stopped between rounds, with the decision going to the scorecards. Garcia won a wide unanimous decision, to win his first world title.[20]

Garcia vs Lopez

Garcia was scheduled to make his first title defense against Juan Manuel Lopez in Dallas on June 15, 2013.[21] Garcia failed to make 126 lb weight limit coming in two pounds overweight. He was stripped of the title. The fight went ahead after Garcia paid Lopez a penalty of $150,000 for missing weight. Garcia claimed the reason for not making weight was due to missing several days of training. On fight night, Garcia re-hydrated to 142 pounds, whilst Lopez weight 137.5 pounds on the HBO scales. In front of a crowd of 5,605 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, Garcia dominated the fight from the opening bell, dropping Lopez in round 2 following a right straight hand. In round 4, Garcia landed a left hook to Lopez, knocking him down again. At 1 minute and 35 seconds of round 4, referee Raphael Ramos waved the fight off, giving Garcia the win.[22][23][24]

Super featherweight

Garcia vs. Martinez

Garcia challenged Puerto Rican WBO junior lightweight champion Rocky Martinez for Martinez's title on November 9, 2013 in his first fight since failing to make weight and having to relinquish his featherweight title. The fight was ordered by the WBO on August 1, 2013 when Garcia became the mandatory challenger.[25] Garcia went down in the second round from a Martinez counter right hand. Garcia, however, recovered and dominated the rest of the fight before knocking out Martinez with a left hook to the body in the eighth round. The victory meant Garcia became a two weight world champion.[26][27][28]

Garcia vs. Burgos

On January 25, 2014, Garcia made his first title defense against mandatory challenger Juan Carlos Burgos at Madison Square Garden in New York City on HBO Boxing After Dark. After being staggered in the second round, Garcia took control of the fight and won close to every round for the remainder of the bout. At the end of the fight, Garcia won via unanimous decision (118-110, 118-110, 119-109), improving to 34-0. In the post fight interview, Garcia called out Yuriorkis Gamboa for a potential fight.[29]

Contract dispute

Garcia had been unhappy over his purses, which had been increasing to career-high six-figure levels fight after fight, sued Top Rank in 2014 to get out of the agreement, and the parties had been fighting it until 2016. Although in arbitration with his promoter, Garcia has expressed plans of returning to the ring under a new contract with Top Rank. On April 8, 2016, it was confirmed that Garcia and Top Rank, who where locked in a dispute over his promotional contract, had reached a settlement, according to Bob Arum. Top Rank vice president Carl Moretti told ESPN.com. "All parties came to a mutual agreement, details of that agreement are a confidential matter. We all move on and do what we do." Although Garcia's Top Rank contract was up in August, they reached a deal.[30]

Light welterweight

Garcia vs. Rojas

Top Rank announced on June 28, 2016, after 2 and a half years off, Garcia would be returning to the boxing ring against former world featherweight titleholder Elio Rojas on July 30 on Showtime in a 10 round bout at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on the undercard of Santa-Cruz-Frampton. This would be a one-fight deal with promoter Lou DiBella and Showtime. They met at approximately 138 pounds. The weight had not been contractually hashed out, however Garcia planned to move down with the hopes of challenging for a world title in the 135-pound lightweight division.[31] Garcia scored four knockdowns, before finishing Rojas in the 5th round via knockout. Garcia hit Rojas face-first with a left hand and dropping him with a right uppercut-left hook combination. Rojas, who was only fighting for the second time in four years, beat the count, but referee Claudio waved it off at 2 minutes, 2 seconds.[32]

Lightweight

Garcia vs. Zlatičanin

Garcia announced he would be fighting at lightweight to challenge undefeated WBC champion Dejan Zlatičanin (22-0, 15 KOs). Zlatičanin claimed the vacant title by knocking out Franklin Mamani in June and also holds decision victories over the likes of Petr Petrov and former multiple weight world champion Ricky Burns. The fight would take place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and again serve as a co-feature to the anticipated rematch between Carl Frampton and Leo Santa Cruz on January 28, 2017.[33] Garcia stopped Zlatičanin in round three to win the title and give Zlaticanin his first professional defeat.[34] The end came after Garcia hit a two punch combination starting with an uppercut which led Zlatičanin open for a final right hook which dropped him backwards on the floor, a knockout of the year candidate. The referee stopped the fight immediately. Garcia became a three-weight world champion with this knockout win. Garcia's purse for the fight was $375,000 compared to the $320,000 that Zlatičanin received. In the post fight interview, Garcia said that he would like to unify the division and also mentioned fighting undefeated Terence Crawford at light welterweight.[35][36]

Return to light welterweight

Garcia vs. Broner

On May 25, 2017 it was announced that talks were underway for a fight between Garcia and four-weight world champion Adrien Broner (33-2, 24 KOs) on July 29, 2017 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.[37] A deal which would include a catchweight of 140 pounds, the super lightweight limit, with Showtime the likely network to broadcast the fight. On Monday 22 May, Broner was sentenced to 72 hours at the Kenton County Detention Center in Covington, Kentucky, on a contempt charge, after failing to make multiple court appearances.[38][39] Garcia said he would be returning to lightweight after the fight, adding that the Broner fight was 'too good and too lucrative' to pass up.[40] If Broner misses weight, he would be fined $500,000. He said he would be more disciplined because he won't give up half a million dollars and claimed he had a reason to not miss weight.[41] On July 20, 8 days before the official weigh in, Broner reportedly weighed 144 pounds and said that he would 'comfortably make weight tomorrow'.[42] On July 21, the WBC announced that their Diamond light welterweight title would be at stake for the fight.[43] Garcia weighed in a career high 139.5 pounds and more than Broner, who weighed 138.7 pounds.[44]

  12. ^ In a video that was published to YouTube on July 22, 2016, from the 2:24 mark of the video to the 3:00 mark of the video, Garcia talked about his father working as a strawberry picker when he said, "It was hard, difficult leaving family behind in Mexico, coming out here to work, living in one-bedroom apartment, with four or six men. You know, I was pretty young still, but I remember um, seeing him come home, just covered in, in red stains from the strawberries. You know, ripped jeans. Uh, a lot of times with patches, just random patches, from different groups, organizations or whatever, just to, you know, repair and patch up the, the, the pants, so you know he could go to work, you know. And he wanted a better life for everybody, you know. He wanted to make sure that he made money to make, make everyone's life better." Garcia and the interviewer then drove to a strawberry field. From the 7:18 mark of the video to the 7:36 mark of the video, when they got to a strawberry field, Garcia said, "Now you get to see some of the real strawberry fields. Can you imagine, being here for, twelve hours doing this, picking strawberries?", as Garcia said this Garcia proceeded to crouch down in a row of a strawberry field, and Garcia pretended to go from patch to patch, picking strawberries. Garcia then stood up, and Garcia said, "Back-breaking work man." Later, from the 8:42 mark of the video to the 9:00 mark of the video, while looking across a strawberry field, Garcia said, "You know I know this, this where my dad, worked. This where my mom, worked. My mom worked picking strawberries for, I mean, I don't know, ten, twenty years. My dad, same thing, so it's, it's, it's nice to know that, you've made it out of something like this, but you never forget, you know."

You know, there is, there has to be a God. There's reasons. There's moments where. There's uh miracles that that, you know, for some reason, sometime, science can't explain, how someone, so, something hap-, how science, science cannot explain everything, and those certain miracles are work of God, acts of God. Certain times, that's when, I do believe that there is a God, but when, other, random regular things, you know, everyday things, you can't say that that's God. You know, that's just shit happens, Frank, (Frank is Garcia's chef) but he says no that there's everything, you know, set in stone. There's a plan for it. I told him, looky look, doesn't work like that. If you can, fuckin' think for yourself. You can come up with your own conclusions, that means you can make your own decisions. You can dictate where your life is gonna to go. Don't tell me that it's God controlling it."
