Daily News | ‘It felt great to be back’: Danny Garcia hopes his tears can inspire others after winning in return to the ring
NEW YORK — Danny Garcia paused Saturday night before walking through the tunnel that leads to the arena floor. It had been 19 months since he walked to the ring as he stepped away from boxing to confront anxiety as the pressure of being at the top of the sport for a decade cracked the former world champion from Juniata Park. Now the fans at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn were chanting his name as Garcia — with his daughter, Philly, by his side — waited to make his entrance.
Garcia’s emotions poured out after the win as he cried during his in-ring interview on Showtime when he was asked about his time away. Garcia knew he was going to share his story, but he didn’t expect the tears. Garcia seemed to win Saturday by a wide margin and two of the scorecards — 117-111 and 116-112 — agreed while the third judge ruled the fight a draw. Garcia said he thought Benavidez won three rounds while a member of his team shouted that the opponent won just one. It was hard to see how the fight could have been ruled a draw.
“You know how a gym has a weird smell? You walk in there and you’re like, ‘It stinks, but it smells good,’ ” Garcia said. “Once I smelled that smell, I said, ‘Yo, I miss boxing. It’s time for me to come back here.’ Gyms have a weird smell, but you love it and I knew I was missing it once I walked back in.”
