This week on ESPN2 Friday Night Fights, look for North Philly’s rising welterweight prospect Danny “Swift” Garcia (12-0, 7ko’s) to get his first taste of national exposure when he competes in the 8 round co-feature against Pavel Miranda (16-3, 8ko’s) of Mexico.
Garcia, a former amateur standout and Olympic alternate trains out of the Harrowgate Gym with some sparring at Billy Briscoe’s Oven mixed in. He career is guided by some of the industries heaviest hitters with the promotional end handled by Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions, and management handled by Shelly Finkel who has quite a few world champions on his books.
Since turning pro in late 2007, Garcia has stayed very active in the ring and during this time slowly but surely increasing the level of competition. Many truly believe that is he keeps his head on straight, we have the makings of a star who can be within title contention as early as next year. If that is true, this is a fight he must win convincingly. Find out for yourself by tuning into the deuce at 9pm this Friday night!

In 2001, he was one of the hottest amateur prospect in the game. In 2009, controversial losses have detoured Anthony Thompson’s road to the top. Then again it has never been easy for the Philly Jr. Middleweight. He, along with his brother TY recently took the time to take about The Messengers return to the ring which produced a 1st round TKO in May, signing with a new promoter TKO Boxing and pleading his case to the TV execs on why they need to put him on their network! This is just the tip of it as we get into a lot of topics with the 23 win fight veteran who is looking to get to the top of the boxing world…
Eric “Outlaw” Hunter talks to me & Kurt Wolfheimer of Fight News to let us know what is going on in his career these days. At this time, Hunter is 9-1 featherweight after an amateur career that saw 180 wins to only 3 defeats. Hunter recently signed with the newly formed TKO Boxing Promotions.
