Garcia, who says he believes he’s the face of boxing, breaks all of it down within the interview with some excerpts under.
Garcia on what he remembers from his newbie fights with Devin Haney
“That he was only a child attempting to get into the game. Like, he wasn’t identified in any respect. He simply got here in out of nowhere and began boxing and all people was beating him so once I first fought him I used to be like ‘one other child, he sucks, bye.’ Like, I beat him very straightforward the primary time. However clearly he began evolving and received higher after which all of the sudden he began beating individuals.
“Once I’m locked in, I damage him each time. There’s occasions the place I didn’t lock in and he ended up beating me on factors, nevertheless it was very mediocre wins, nothing that stands out. Once I beat him individuals had been speaking about it even after that.
“There’s guys which are like nice, good, after which there’s that man. I’m that man. So once I combat it’s not mid. When he fights, it’s mid…there’s a unique power, we’re not the identical. I’m about to point out you in the case of combat evening.”
On calling out Haney after he beat Prograis
“It felt prefer it was time. I’m additionally in the most effective place I’ve been in for a very long time. It carried over from Duarte and simply received even higher so that is the time, I really feel like I’m stepping proper into my prime, and I really feel like in my coronary heart I’m the face of boxing. And I say that due to my upside and the way I could make something have a better attain.
“I contact locations that Canelo can’t contact and I contact locations that no fighter proper now can contact, simply me. I’m a advertising machine and I’ve the desire to be the most effective at every part I do…Will this combat solidify me as a world champion? Sure. Do I would like that? Sure. Am I going to do it? Sure. That’s only a bonus.”
On how he would grade his final efficiency in opposition to Oscar Duarte
“I’d give myself an A-. Solely half I tousled was perhaps staying within the pocket perhaps a bit of too lengthy. However aside from that folks prefer to make enjoyable of the protection, I can present you 1,000,000 movies of Mayweather turning his again. I might make a complete reel spotlight of it. I don’t want to elucidate myself, I wasn’t getting hit. I received hit perhaps one little factor, perhaps two photographs, a hook, however for essentially the most half he was lacking and it disrupted his rhythm.”
On how troublesome of a combat he expects from Haney
“Under no circumstances. Not sophisticated. I’ve been boxing my entire life, there’s nothing I’m going to see that I’ve not seen earlier than so it’s not going to be sophisticated, it’s simply I received to execute. You may’t don’t have any mercy on Devin. That’s the issue Lomachenko had. Regis is simply not fighter, he’s nonetheless an newbie for my part, you realize, the way in which he fights. He began late, it’s exhibiting that he began late. You’re not that man, so I’d knock him out inside three rounds, sleep. It might be very unhealthy for Regis.
“Devin’s going to get badly damage. That’s why there’s not going to be a rematch.”
