Countdown to sensation! Garcia vs. Spence Jr. for the WBC Diamond belt
On March 16 at AT & T Stadium, Arlington Texas, a supernova contest between the lightweight champion of the World Boxing Council, Mikey García (39-0 / 30ko) and the IBF welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr (24-0 / 21ko), for the glittering, shimmering prize of the prestigious WBC Diamond belt.
Spence Jr is a resident of Texas and is considered one of the best welterweights of today, with power and great skills.
Garcia who`s also superb, has fought several times in Texas, most recently in San Antonio when he defeated Sergey Lipinets as a super lightweight.
While moving up to that division represents a major challenge for Mikey, he recognizes that it is those difficult fights that motivate him the most, since his desire is to go down in history as one of the greats who managed to overcome all challenges that come his way.
Born in California, he graduated as a policeman, has been a television host and faced a legal battle for two years that kept him away from boxing. But now, he`s seeking diamonds forever!
Facing Errol will be a complex mission, because in addition to having more height and greater reach to contend with, Mikey has had to train and adapt his physique to face a significantly larger rival who comes to this, bolstered by eleven consecutive knockouts.
