It's been a long time since Daniel Garcia, the "king of left-wing punches", has not appeared on stage as world champion in the first two tiers since losing to Errol Spence last December. Now, Garcia is considering his next plans, and he's been working in the 147-pound middleweight for five years and admits that it's difficult to control his weight at that level.
Since losing to Keith Thurman in 2017, as of a year ago, he lost to Spence, and Garcia lost to Sean Porter in the middle, in short, his career has experienced ups and downs. Garcia has been on the sidelines in the dying middle of 2021, with the 33-year-old making it clear that he would not retire while saying his days at 147 pounds were over.
It's no secret that Garcia wants to rise to higher levels, the question is, who will he play against after the upgrade? At present, all the titles of 154 pounds over the middleweight are controlled by Jimmel Charlo and Brian Castano respectively, and the two sides have initially decided to implement the second battle next February to determine the undisputed champion, so Garcia's plan to attack the world championship again will not be satisfied for the time being, what will he plan? Garcia really thought about it and offered to fight Cuban star Ellis Randi Lara.
Lara vs Garcia is a surprise at first glance, and it doesn't hurt if Lala is still at 154 pounds, the point is that he has been promoted to the 160-pound middleweight, which seems to be a bit far away from Garcia, but Garcia said he is willing to play against Lara at the agreed weight.
Garcia said: "I'd love to do that, Lara is now a middleweight boxer, right? We can play against each other at 155 pounds in the agreement, can I do it, and will Lara play against me at 155 pounds? It was a great game for me. ”
Lara is 38 years old, adjusted her weight to 160 pounds in May this year, achieved a "seamless transition" in her career, destroyed Thomas Lamana in just one round, won the WBA ordinary middleweight championship title, and now ranks third in the overall ranking of her level, behind Gennady Golovkin, Chris Yubank Jr., and Lara has joined the United States citizenship, which is considered to be a double harvest of career and life, will he meet Garcia?
Garcia wants to challenge Lara, especially in the agreement weight of 155 pounds (the lowest middle welter) confrontation, more like his wishful thinking, because Lala is not stupid enough to make a wedding dress for the other party, if it is really in a 155 pound duel, considering Lara's age and state, it will be difficult to compete with the opponent, it seems that good things have made Garcia think of it alone.
Garcia said: "The matches have to match, I can't get tired physically and mentally, just wait now until I feel good and I will start training after Christmas and try to get back into boxing in March or April next year. ”
From a conventional point of view, after Garcia rose to 154 pounds, more need to wait for Charlo vs Castano to win twice, then consider challenging each other, but whether it is Charlo or Castano winning, Garcia has no certainty of victory, so he thinks of the old Lala, Garcia's abacus can be described as very fine, one is not to wait, the second is that the challenge must be assured, the third is that Lala after the peak period is just right, or in response to the previous sentence - good things make Garcia think, He treats everyone else as air.
