On February 27, 2022, Beijing time, in a WBA sub-lightweight boxing challenge qualifier elimination match held in the Metropolitan Area of Las Vegas, the Dominican boxer Hector Luis Garcia defeated American rookie Chris Colbert 3-0.
The match was originally a defending title for the WBA Sub-Lightweight Ordinary Boxing Champion, and it was supposed to be up to Chris Colbert to challenge the current WBA Minor Lightweight Ordinary Boxing Champion Roger Gutierrez, but unfortunately, Because Logue Gutierrez contracted the new coronavirus before the game, he had to be hospitalized. So, 16 days before the race, the organizers of the race temporarily called hector Luis Garcia, now 30, to save the game.
Imagine that opponent Chris Colbert is young and strong (25 years old), the number one challenger in the WBA's second lightweight, and has been preparing for the game for three months. Probably not even Hector Luis Garcia himself thought it was possible to win the game.
However, after the game began, Hector Luis Garcia's performance in the first leg surprised everyone. As soon as he came up, he began to punch Chris Colbert hard, and seeing that Chris Colbert did not react, Hector Luis Garcia began to attack Chris Colbert with his left fist continuously.
In the second leg of the match, the returning Chris Colbert began to exchange with Hector Luis Garcia, but he still did not get any bargains, and the rhythm of the game was still firmly controlled by Hector Luis Garcia. Hector Luis Garcia took advantage of the rhythm of the match and punched Chris Colbert hard with his right-handed hook punch near the end of the round.
In the third leg of the match, Chris Colbert insisted on the offensive start of the previous round, but he had no good way to face hector Luis Garcia's counterattack, and could only suddenly pounce on Hector Luis Garcia to hug him when Hector Luis Garcia counterattacked.
In the fourth leg of the match, Hector Luis Garcia continued to push aggressively on Chris Colbert, hitting Chris Colbert's body with a heavy punch, and Chris Colbert was frequently beaten back.
In the fifth and sixth rounds of the match, Hector Luis Garcia continued to hit Chris Colbert in the head, but Chris Colbert did not have much awareness of counterattack. He was even blocked in the corner of the ring several times.
In the seventh round of the match, around a minute and thirty seconds into the game, Hector Luis Garcia first covered with two stab punches and then knocked Chris Colbert to the ground with his left fist. It was the first time chris Colbert had been knocked down in his entire career, and although Chris Colbert stood up when the referee read the seconds to five, most people knew chris Colbert was already struggling to win the game.
In the eighth and ninth rounds of the match, Hector Luis Garcia continued to put pressure on Chris Colbert. Although he did not knock down Chris Colbert again, he repeatedly forced Chris Colbert to the edge of the ring.
In the tenth leg of the match, Chris Colbert seemed desperate against the attack of Hector Luis Garcia, and in addition to the regular cuddle, Chris Colbert even pushed and shoved. Such a trick made referee Kenny Baylors look down, so he gave Chris Colbert a warning.
The final two legs of the match also ended with a one-sided advantage over Hector Luis Garcia. In the end, the three referees on the scene gave scores of 118-109, 118-109, 119-108, so Hector Luis Garcia beat Chris Colbert 3-0.
After the victory, Hector Luis Garcia was so pleased with his performance in an interview that he told Showtime tv through an interpreter: "When I was told I was going to play in this game three weeks ago, I had a hunch that my life might change, so I took the time to train and play at my best. ”
Hector Luis Garcia also faced a headwind in this match, with his coach Ismail Salas not directing on the sidelines as Ismail Salas was in Glasgow, England, conducting The Game in which Robisi Ramirez was playing. But assistant coach Bob Santos did a good job of conducting the job.
Hector Luis Garcia also expressed his gratitude after the game, saying: "I am very grateful to Bob Santos and Ismail Salas, one of whom gave me confidence and one who gave me guidance. Because of their help, I won this game. ”
After winning the game, Hector Luis Garcia could take a break and then immediately have plenty of time to prepare, leaving him plenty of time to challenge Roger Gutierrez.
