Philadelphia’s Danny Garcia is coming off of the biggest victory of his career in upsetting Argentina’s Lucas Matthysse last month inside of the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.

A slight underdog heading into the fight, Garcia would show excellent ring smarts and great composure as he weathered an early storm from Matthysse before settling down and taking over the second half of the action.

Garcia would prevail by a close unanimous decision, successfully defending his WBA and WBC junior welterweight titles in the process.

“It feels good to be back,” Mayweather confirmed. “I got a chance to train a few of my fighters. That was good. I didn’t really feel weak or anything. I’m looking forward to just getting back to normal. It’s a slow process but I’m happy to be back working.”
