Henry Armstrong vs. Ceferino Garcia I (Longest Version Now on Rareboxing)

This content is protected

1. Even.
2. A left hook rocked Garcia. An inside fight ensued. Armstrong.
3-6. All quite boring. The crowd booed lustily in the 6th, and I was with them. The 3rd was even, 4 and 5 belonged to Armstrong, and I gave Garcia the 6th.
7-8. Garcia took a lacing in each round, but landed with good punches at the bell. Armstrong took both.
9-14. Armstrong won every round.
15. Garcia opened quickly for a change. Garcia did hurt Armstrong a little, although I never pin-pointed a specific punch that seemed to affect Armstrong. However, Armstrong was off-balance and staggered around the ring for the majority of the round. Garcia.

Verdict: Awful fight. I was very disappointed. It was no Braddock-Farr, but it was still a miserable experience. I don't know what was up with Garcia. He fought like-well, that's it, he didn't fight at all. He just stood there and let himself be used for target practice for 15 rounds. He never came out of the shell he was in. Skip this one.

 

What about Garcia though? He seemed pretty unwilling to mix it up.
