Garcia moving on up after narrow win in Brooklyn
Edges Peterson to Improve to 4-0 as Barclays Center Headliner
Danny “Swift” Garcia maintained his perfect record in the ring, and at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center last Saturday night with a majority decision over Lamont Peterson in front of more than 12,000 pro boxing enthusiasts.
He also realized that he has to move up in weight class, most likely into the 147-pound range, if he hopes to continue ascending the ranks as one of boxing’s best fighters and major attractions.
“I feel like I have to go up [in weight],” Garcia admitted after improving to 30-0 overall and 4-0 in Downtown’s home for pugilism with a tight and somewhat controversial 115-113, 115-113, 114-114 decision over Peterson (33-3-1).
