“Danny’s dad gets me hyped up talking about his son coming forward, throwing a lot of punches and taking the belts from me.”
Garcia: “On December 5, no stone will be unturned. We’re going to give it 110% and take these titles from him in his hometown.
“I’ve been an underdog my whole career. I’m used to playing that role. I just have to go in there and be myself. I have to believe in myself 100% and fight round by round. I’m going to show what a true champion is made of.”
