The future of Sergio Garcia (35-3; 15 KOs) is up in the air despite his remarkable success Argentinian Emiliano over Exequiel Pucheta by TKO in the sixth round Last Saturday. If ‘El Nino’ is clear on one thing, it’s that he fought last at home. Vicente Trueba de Torrelavega Pavilion He has seen his many successes. “This is my farewell and I want to give a show to people and finish well”says the Cantabrian boxer at MARCA.
To talk about Garcia we have to talk about the best boxers Spain has seen in the last decade. At 32, Sergio has a clear road map: “I can’t fight anymore at home. Should we consider it retired? may be; When an opportunity presents itself and you can plan ahead, you do itBut it should be something that interests me. If not, I am happy and satisfied with my career,” he said.
Sergio is not talking about unachievable goals now, but the truth is that his pedigree allows him to aim far above average. In England he still has a great poster, and in the United States they haven’t forgotten his fight against Fundora, who is today the world champion. Hence ‘El Niño’ expects some minimums: “It has to be a televised fight, which we don’t have in Spain, so we talk about the United States or the United Kingdom. If boxing is broadcast in our country, the sport will have more fans.” However, Torrelevguns doesn’t ring any bells: “I’m not sure if anything will come of it.”
The reason for his retirement was none other than to be more with his family: “I need time for my family”. It also detects He was not there for “two years of very expensive evenings spent at Torrelavega.”. In this sense, he continues: “Because of the position I’m in (for example, without an EBU ranking), I don’t want to row another two years, especially because of my age. If an interesting fight comes up later and I take advantage of it, I skip several steps and we talk about other situations. “It’s still too early to retire, but I’m not a rookie who has to start over.”
Garcia has gotten stronger since his last fight. “There was a financial motivation” for one last dance, he admits. “But it’s also a matter of knowing if I can still do something at a higher level.”. The fight with Yoenis Tellez left a bad taste in the Cantabrian’s mouth, but if he comes to the end of his career, “I had a great time.”
“Boxing has given me so much that I’m unhappy, I’m grateful. The best thing it’s given me is the many good moments I’ve had,” the former European champion told us. We ask you to remember your great nights: “I remember the fight between Chaka (Isaac Real) and Ted Cheeseman, the Spanish Championship (against Clavero) and Fundora. There are four that I remember well. I felt really good against Fundora and that fight allowed me to enter the world title race.” Another story of Tony Harrison in Las Vegas: “We planned some things that didn’t work, we had to go for him and it ended up being the best.” Many on a similar race.
