MEXICAN Genaro “Poblanito” Garcia expressed confidence with his upcoming undercard bout against ALA Gym’s undefeated Genesis “Azukal” Servania in the Pinoy Pride XIV: Night of Champions will go his way.
Pinoy Pride XIV is scheduled on June 2 at the Resorts World Manila.
In an interview with ALA Promotions, Garcia said he is already planning to fight in another world title bout after he is finished against Servania for the vacant WBC International silver superbantamweight belt.
“You (Servania) will no longer be undefeated. I look to fight for another world championship again and you will not get in my way,” said Garcia.
He bragged of a knockout win over Servania.
“I knocked out more than fifty percent of my opponents and I will be throwing all my power shots at him. I will figure him out in the first round and will lay his face flat on the floor.”
Garcia sports a record of 32 wins and eight losses with 22 knockouts. He was supposed to fight IBF International featherweight champion Rey “Boom-Boom” Bautista of Bohol last January. Bautista, instead, faced a different Garcia after ALA Promotions’ Mexican contact sent a different person.
ALA came up with another chance of getting Garcia to fight Bautista again but the former refused to fight because he was required to gain weight for him to reach the featherweight boundary.
Garcia already fought world champions such as Toshiaki Nishioka, Wilfredo Vasquez Jr., Hozumi Hasegawa and Luis Alberto Perez.
The Servania-Garcia bout is the undercard of the title bout between WBO lightflyweight champion Donnie “Ahas” Nietes and Mexico’s Felipe Salguero.
Milan “Metodico” Melindo will also fight Jesus Geles for the WBO international flyweight title.
