Danny ‘Swift’ Garcia accepts the fact that most feels he’s the underdog ahead of his December 5th showdown with IBF and WBC welterweight champion Errol ‘The Truth’ Spence. Speaking to PBC commentator, Ray Flores at a virtual media workout in his hometown of Philadelphia, Danny said, “I’ve been the underdog my whole career. I’m in my comfort zone being an underdog and it’s the energy I like to have. I just have to keep proving myself again and again. That’s what keeps me going.” His father/trainer, Angel Garcia agrees with his son’s assessment. “Danny has always been the underdog……It doesn’t matter. He’s only the underdog because Spence is undefeated, but that doesn’t mean anything when we get in the ring.”
Despite boasting an impressive record of 36-2 (21 KOs) and being a 2-division champion with victories over Hall of Famer Erik Morales (2x), Amir Khan, Lucas Matthysse, Zab Judah, and Robert Guerrero, Garcia believes this fight is important for his legacy. “This is definitely a legacy fight. I feel like it’s a legacy fight every time I get into the ring.”, he said. Appearing to be in shape and on target for the 147 lbs. weight limit, he further added, “This is the fight I have to win. This fight is for my legacy. There’s only one goal, and that’s to win on December 5.”
