Welterweights Danny Garcia and Shawn Porter collide for the vacant WBC world championship of September 8 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Porter is known for being hyper aggressive and because of that, headbutts have been an issue in his fights. Danny Garcia commented on that.

“I got to go in there and fight my fight,” said Garcia. “I can’t go in there and basically get caught up in his fight. We have the right sparring partners, short guys around 5’6” using the head, who come forward. So me and my father got the perfect game plan to get away from the headbutt. So yes we have some tricks for that…I’m not really worried about his head. I just have to go in there and fight my fight.”

[On the possibility of a stoppage win] “It will mean a lot if you avoid the scorecard that’s always a great thing, you don’t even have the judges judge, so it will be great. I stopped people for the first time in their careers so it won’t be the first and it won’t be the last time I did it.”

[On how the fight will play out] “I have to go in there and push him back and that’s what I am preparing for and that’s what I wake up every day and get my work done and to be the best that I can be, and perform the best that I can perform. I’m going to go ahead and make adjustments like a true champion and get the victory and I think that’s what it’s all about at the end of the day.”
