Clarence Adams UD12 Nestor Garza: Underrated boxing performance

Bones was awesome. A consummate professional style.

Garza himself is also underrated. I highly recommend watching his war with Kozo Ishii for anyone who hasn't seen it.

 

Bones had skills..robbed against Ayala

 

My partner in the boxing game was Garza's trainer. During the introductions he is standing behind Garza's left shoulder, with his hands clasped in front of him. Garza losing to Bones was a pretty big upset, especially after the serious shoulder injuries Bones had suffered. I asked my friend what he thought went wrong, if they had a bad camp. He said no, that the camp was great, all of them that were there had a great time. Unfortunately, Nestor wasn't able to join them until the last 8 or 10 days because, up until then, nobody knew where he was or how to find him. He showed up having been on a binge, lost a bunch of weight and fought. If you know, or knew, Nestor like he was even when I met him, you would find that story to be a likely possibility. I understand that he is in a much better place now.
Not to take anything away from Bones. He had overcome severe injuries to his shoulder and, if memory serves, his jaw was broken when he fought Canizales. He fought a good fight and I was glad to seem him reach the top, having been a fan since he was 15.
