Danny Garcia Vs Adrian Granados Card
Philadelphia’s Danny Garcia remained unbeaten as a professional boxer for almost ten years.
LOS ANGELES (March 19, 2019) – Former two-division world champion Danny “Swift” Garcia and veteran contender Adrian Granados previewed their Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes main event showdown at a press conference in Los Angeles Tuesday as they prepare to square-off Saturday, April 20 from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California. Former unified 140-pound king and WBC welterweight champion Danny “Swift” Garcia takes on the dangerous Adrian Granados in what looks to be an exciting welterweight scrap that will headline a PBC fight card on April 20, 2019 at the Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.
Then, in the space of two bouts, he lost twice.
On April 20, 2019, Garcia faced veteran slugger Adrian Granados in the main event of FOX PBC Fight Night at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California. What was expected. Danny Garcia vs Adrian Granados. While the Fox card will carry much lesser intrigue than its ESPN counterpart, it is still a match worth watching. Danny Garcia is the bigger name, and will be.
Garcia (34-2, 20 KOs) will now be aiming to get back to his old winning habits when he takes on Adrian Granados (20-6-2, 14 KOs) on April 20 in Carson, California.
The pressure is certainly on “Swift” to beat Granados. If anything, he is expected to add a 35th career victory to his resume and to do it in style. If he can dominate against Granados, he willreaffirm his claims for a shot at any of the main titles at 147 pounds, including his old WBC strap.
While Garcia will head into this bout as a favorite on the leading boxing betting sites, he would be foolish to underestimatethe threat of his next opponent.
Both men lost fights recently to Shawn Porter. Granados, however, made life just as difficult for “Showtime” prior to Garcia also losing out to the WBC welterweight champion in a unanimousdecision.
Garcia’s only other loss in pro boxing came to Keith “One Time” Thurman in March 2017. Just like his defeat to Porter, this bout was close, but Garcia still lost.
If the 31-year-old fails to beat Granados in convincing fashion, questions will be asked. With a wealth of talent currently occupying the 147-pound division, Garcia could find himself beingfrozen out at the top of the division.
The pressure is on.
