On Thursday afternoon, Two-time trainer of the Year Robert Garcia spent his last day inside of his personal gym before his latest trek, as he will be soon be departing towards Corpus Christi, Tex. for his involvement in this weekend’s HBO triple header inside of the American Bank Center.
Two of Garcia’s fighters will be in action on Saturday night, as his younger brother Mikey moves up to challenge WBO junior lightweight champion Roman ‘Rocky’ Martinez while Fil-Am star Nonito Donaire meets Vic Darchinyan in a rematch at 126 pounds.
In July of 2007, Donaire pulled off one of the year’s biggest upsets when he crushed Darchinyan with a whistling counter left hook that had the Armenian dazed and on wobbly legs after attempting to rise from a knockdown.
Over six years later and fate has led the two men back to one another. And despite the 37-year old Darchinyan having lost four fights since his first encounter with Donaire, Garcia is adamant that he is still very dangerous for one particular reason.

Following WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin’s 8th round stoppage of Curtis Stevens on Saturday night, several insiders from ringside chimed in with their praise towards the Kazakhstani star.
Inside of the Madison Square Garden’s Theater, Golovkin dropped Stevens with a swift left hook in the second round and dished out much more punishment in the following frames before the Brooklyn fighter’s corner elected to stop the action after the eighth.
For HBO analyst Jim Lampley, who called his fourth Golovkin fight last night, he revealed what it’s like watching such a calculated stylist from ringside.
“I thought it was a systematic, effective, technically-pure beat down,” Lampley stated. “It’s always amazing to watch someone with destroyer power who knows everything about the craft and how to use it.”
Respected sportscaster Brian Kenny, now working with Showtime, expressed how he was seemingly taken aback by Stevens’ gritty effort throughout the chaotic eight rounds of action.
