Nice right hook from Garcia.
Garcia es an excellent boxer with a bright future. He has all the figures to be sensational in this sport but still needs more hours in the ring. He is young, tall, accurate, fast and a power puncher with very good boxing skills. His jab is very good but should use it more frequently in order to keep always the fighting distance more beneficial for him. He was a little bit exposed when fighting at short distance only.
