Danny Garcia: I Hope To Be at 147 By Next Summer

[L68]

By Miguel Rivera

WBC/WBA junior welterweight champion Danny Garcia (29-0, 17KOs) is hoping to make his welterweight debut by next summer. Garcia is returning this weekend at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. He will take on IBF junior welterweight champion Lamont Peterson in a catch-weight bout. None of their titles are at stake as the two boxers agreed to face each other at 143-pounds.

This is the second fight in row where Garcia is fighting above the junior welterweight limit, but he doesn't intend to move up to the welterweight division in the near future.

"I hope that by the summer I'll already be in the next division. My entire career has been at 140 and the time [to move up] is coming up. I sense the difference in the gym with the extra pounds, especially in sparring sessions," Garcia told Primera Hora. "This fight is important for my legacy. The fans were asking for it and it will be a great event. We are focused, ready and eager to fight again."




another year and a half

Is he waiting out Floyd and Manny?


I dont understand why he doesnt just say he's staying at 140 if that's what he's gonna do. He said he was moving up to 147 in 2012....now, 3 years later and still at 140, he's saying he's moving up in the summer of 2016


Dude, just stay at 140 and fight at 140 then. All these about moving up to 147 if pointless if that's not what you wanna do

Danny's dad doesn't want him in the ring with Floyd. Danny had the chance after the fight on Floyd's undercard. He declined it

He said by the summer

Exactly. Meaning this summer.

Where are you guys getting 2016 from

Either you guys have poor reading comprehension skills, or trying too hard to hate (and failing at it)

Right there.

 

[King P]

Right there.

Breh, read the quote by Swift himself

"I hope that by the summer I'll already be in the next division.

By the summer: aka THIS Summer.

Whoever wrote this article needs to step their comprehension skills up

He will be taking his first (or second ) loss at 147 just like AB.

Does Garcia even want a shot at Mayweather? Based on recent history, the answer would be no. Garcia had a chance to be the man to win the Mayweather Sweepstakes before Mayweather picked Marcos Maidana, but Garcia, and his father Angel, didn't push very hard for the fight. It seems as though they are waiting for Mayweather to retire so they won't have to face him. Don't get me wrong, Garcia has a tough fight with Peterson on Saturday. Mayweather has an even tougher fight with Manny Pacquiao, May 2nd. But if they can both win their respective fights, unless there is controversy of some sort, I see no reason Mayweather should pick anyone other than Garcia for September. That is if Garcia would accept the challenge.

lloyd christmas garcia dosent wanna be great

 

[ChocolateGiddyUp]

Swift was never goin get the Floyd fight..Khan was always ahead of him N then Chino jumped the line by beating AB N then the rematch

Errybody crying that he moves up going be crying bout his next opp at 147 cuz its not goin be a killer right off the bat

I believe so as well.

The jump from 140 to 147 is about equal to the jump from 154 to 160 due to the natural size of the Welterweights
