Official highlights
Excellent fight and win since his rival displayed a very aggressive style
and because he is a talented boxer too. In spite of being a southpaw boxer Garcia was totally overwhelmed by the speed and accuracy of JoJo who was able to connect an incredible number of punches which were mainly power ones. The fight didn’t end early just only because JoJo hasn’t enough power in his right hand. However he is an excellent boxer with a boxing technique second to none.
agree. he’s avery technical boxer
