Seems like Garcia has adopted some of De La Hoya's ring mannerisms & prefight mannerisms, at least in the Vargas fight shown above.

He is full of himself and his post-fight interview for the Vargas fight did show a grating personality, but he is very talented. I try not to let my view of an athlete as a person affect my assessment of his ability in the sport. As long as someone doesnt become a Tyson, Broner or Edwin Valero I can pretty much ignore their quirks.
