"I know I'm a good, sharp boxer and just have to combine it all," Garcia said after the victory. "This battle speaks for itself. I play better when I play harder opponents. I punch hard and don't need to do too much to win."
Garcia is sixth in ESPN's list of 61kg boxers, but the American boxer's last two fights were in the ultra-light category (63.5 kg). He feels more comfortable at 63.5 kg and wants to compete with compatriot Gervonta Davis, who has won the WBA lightweight title since 2019; IBF Super Feather Grade 2017; WBA ultra-light level twice in 2018-2021 and WBA ultra-light level twice in 2021.
After winning technical knockout Luke Campbell in January 2021, Garcia was due to play for Mammon last July but pulled out due to mental health. He then called off his fight with former champion Joseph Diaz Jr. and underwent surgery on his right wrist.
In April, Garcia returned to the ring for a tough fight against Emmanuel Tago. Garcia was slightly better, but failed to beat his Ghanaian opponent and won only by scoring from the referee.
But Garcia didn't have such a problem when he fought Fortuna-the lightweight boxer currently ranked 10th in the ESPN poll. The 33-year-old Dominican fighter rarely struck with precision and ended the fight with a badly swollen right eye. Fortuna lost for the second time in the last three games after losing to Diaz in July 2021.
At Crypto.com Arena, Garcia confirmed his advantage by hitting the flank from the left, leading to Fortuna bending his knees in the fourth round. The Dominican boxer got up to continue the fight before the referee counted to 10.
In the next round, Garcia hit his chin with his left hook, causing his opponent to continue to fall to the ground. This time, Fortuna sighed and stood up at once. But it all ended in the sixth round when Garcia hit the head three times in a row, causing Fortuna to kneel for the third time. He then spat his tooth protector onto the floor and couldn't stand before the referee counted to 10.
This achievement helped Garcia maintain a career record of 23 wins, including 19 knockout wins. As an amateur, the 23-year-old boxer has a record of 215 wins and 15 national championships. As of May, he was ranked sixth in the list of lightweight boxers selected by The Ring magazine, Cross Country Boxing Ranking Committee and ESPN, and tenth on Boxrec website.
