37:1 underdog Ivan “El Terrible” Redkach says he’ll be no tune-up for two-division world champion Danny “Swift” Garcia in their WBC welterweight title eliminator on Showtime Saturday from Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY.
“The biggest weakness I see in Danny is that he’s not taking this seriously. He’s counting on this as a tune-up fight, and that’s a big mistake,” said Redkach. “Danny is already looking ahead to a fight with Errol Spence Jr. or Manny Pacquiao, but before he gets to them, he picked me. I know it’s because I’m a southpaw. But he’s going to get a rude wake up on fight night.
“This win will change my life and I’ve already worked my whole life to get to this moment. I want to win this fight and then the biggest fights at welterweight will be open to me. Right now I’m only focused on my fight Saturday night.
“I’m going to knock him out. That’s how I see this fight going. We’re going to leave it all in the ring and I’m going to come out victorious.”
I will admit, Ko-ing Garcia would shake up the controversy in upsets in boxing. However, I doubt it will happen. Garcia is old news anyway in my book. Inactive, yet, jumps right back into the mix all because of his past accolades. Putting up with his father’s mouth is enough to turn the cheek in watching him. Sad, but true.
This kid is being groomed by the Mosley’s. He is a tough, gritty fighter. Garcia better not be looking past Ivan.
Down goes Ivan, down goes Ivan.
I saw Danny get a gift decision against a non ranked opponent. I would not be surprised to see an upset.
You can’t take a guy like this lightly. What does he have to lose? I like that Garcia has fought tough guys but he and his idiot father better be ready for this one or they’ll regret it.
Not likely. But, lets see you do it
Ivan….Your no more than a air filter or a spark plug and cost 99.95 at most Pep Boys….Shut up….
Considering that Danny is getting old and we have had some upsets, there could be one here. But I think Garcia takes a close decision.
