Daily News | Philly’s Danny Garcia wins debut at 154 pounds with majority decision over Jose Benavidez Jr.
as he controlled the pace against Jose Benavidez Jr. for 12 rounds. His right hand was powerful, his combinations were rapid, his legs were quick, and his defense was keen en route to a majority-decision win at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
It was the 34-year-old Garcia’s first fight since he left the ring to confront anxiety that he said he suffered from during the lead-up to his December 2020 loss to Errol Spence Jr. He said before Saturday night’s fight that he felt refreshed as the pressure of being in the spotlight for a decade had taken its toll.
“I still battle some days. I have dark days, but I try my best to stay positive,” Garcia said. “But I feel good. I gave the fans a good fight tonight.” The win could put Garcia in line for a title shot as the World Boxing Council ranked Garcia as the No. 5 super welterweight before he even weighed in at 154 pounds. Jermell Charlo holds all four world titles and said earlier this month that he does not plan to move up to 160 pounds as many expected him to.
