Fans can only hope this fight has as much excitement and drama as some of its predecessors. Here's how you can watch this bout.
You won't see a lot of talking or braggadocios and flamboyant
behavior from the 25-year-old from Ventura, Calif. He has simply plowed
through his opponents with reckless efficiency.
He is undefeated, but Garcia hasn't just been winning his fights—he's been dominating them. As of now, not one opponent has appeared to befuddle or have Garcia in major peril.
Here he is destroying Matt Remillard in April 2011.
His 84 percent KO percentage is extremely impressive, but before his masterful performance against Orlando Salido in January, Garcia hadn't faced any major name in the sport.
The fight crowned Garcia with the WBO title and legitimized his prior victories.
Garcia dropped Salido four times in the first four rounds, but he suffered a broken nose from an accidental head butt that halted the fight.
