    Fighting on the undercard of Casey-Martinez. Huge credit to Peters for making this fight, i definetley wouldn't class Mitchell as shot. Its obvious though that Garcia is very talented and that there looking to move him onto championship level as soon as possible. Peters said they offered this fight to Yusaf Mack and Otis Griffin but they turned it down because they potentially have title fights coming up.

    Mack :yikes Peters must be very confident in Garcia. Mitchell isn't what he was but is still a live underdog who can crack. Good test for Garcia and nice to see him step it up in terms of activity I remember a few rumors going around he wasn't too keen on boxing much a while back.

    Mack is a possible opponent for Cloud's next fight!!!

    I still haven't seen Garcia fight but everything I've read has being very complimentary. This is a good test for him, especially at this stage of his career.

    I wish we would see more opponents like this involving British Prospects, no bull**** titles as well. These Brian Peters cards are stacked he must be getting a decent sum from RTE for these cards.

    It's good to see they're not hanging around with Garcia, just because he's young is no reason to hold him back, he's looked top notch so far.

    that really made me laugh, peters is a shite promoter with shite fighters and shite cards, the only half decent one is this casey martinez one, even still it aint great

    If you think Garcia, Acosta, Macklin, McCloskey and Lee are "shite" then I'm afraid you haven't a clue what you are talking about!

    **** off, he's put on some great shows and has completely revived the pro scene in Ireland. For a promoter in a small country with a limited audience, what do you want from him, World title fights on undercards?
