Garcia (28-2, 21 KOs), a native of Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico who fights out of Weslaco, Texas, enters this fight riding a five-year, 14-bout unbeaten streak. Garcia possesses impressive power in both fists, where 75% of his victories have come by way of knockout and many of those stoppages produced by devastating body shots. During his impressive streak, Garcia has captured the Caribbean Boxing Federation interim welterweight title and the Texas welterweight title.

Roberto Garcia was virtually unknown when he walked into Freddie Roach's Wild Card Gym in Hollywood California.  He started to get attention when he stepped in the ring to spar with the best the gym had to offer.  Through his boxing skill and punching power he quickly earned the respect of everyone in the gym, including Freddie Roach.  He has since sparred with only the best fighters in the 154 pound weight class including Alfredo Angulo and many others. 

 

Fighting Roberto Garcia might prove to be a horrible decision for Margarito as a comeback fight after such a long lay off.  Many boxing insiders give Garcia a big chance to pull off the win in what should be an all action bout.  Be sure to catch it.
