Back from mental health break, Danny Garcia back to his ‘old self’ and hungry for another world title

Back from mental health break, Danny Garcia back to his ‘old self’ and hungry for another world title

More than a third of Danny Garcia’s 39 professional bouts have been against men who at some point in their career held a world championship (in one case, an interim world title). He’s gone 12-3 in those fights with four knockouts, evidence that this is a guy who wasn’t appreciated enough during his prime. Garcia never got the truly huge fight against either Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao, but his résumé is a road map of the best 140- and 147-pounders of the last decade. He was one… Source link

Jeff Garcia retreats after Mina Kimes proven right about 49ers

Jeff Garcia retreats after Mina Kimes proven right about 49ers

It’s so ironic, and also … let me find just the right word … so darn gratifying. A man who spent the whole week demeaning a woman, going on any platform that would have him to criticize her, turning tail and hiding when he got pushback for being sexist and loud and wrong.
