Official highlights
Against this level of opposition Garcia looks absolutely lethal. Poor old Granados, warrior that he is, he never stood a chance in this one.
Beautiful right and left hooks from Garcia.
Garcia’s best eprformance for quite some time.
DSG is my second fav fighter out of this ww crew. He’s not the most gifted or the most Anything really. But he’s a winner. & he has pedigree. Garcia simply outclassed Granados in this bout. Good softer touch/bounce back win.
Granados was very brave but in survival mode from round 2 till the end. He has not chances at all since Garcia is a better technician and his punches are quite hard and usually accurate. However, in this fight he missed many. .
