Fitting that it was Garcia's trademark left hook which put the full stop on his career, fkn cracker it was as well, it's mad how the Salka fight always gets dug up but his cv is stacked

[Ruthless-RKO]

Was his last fight in Brooklyn.

I think he’ll take a couple more fights.

Probably finish his career in Philly.

That was a sweet left hook. Short, quick, and right on the button.

I thought it was his swan song, for all he fights these days he'd may as well retire

Yh, I’m not sure. Seen some say it’s farewell to just Brooklyn. I might just be his last fight.

He’s gonna promote cards now apparently.

Let’s see..

He did definitely fight a lot of solid competition. Good timing on his counter hooks for sure took him a long, long way. He always felt like a bit of an overachiever to me, but even in the fights he lost he was never embarrassed. He always competed quite well with anyone you matched him with.

Except that Lara fight.

Danny Garcia Would Put Off Retirement If Given Financial Offer He Can’t Refuse

NEW YORK – At first, Danny Garcia didn’t fully commit to the whole retirement talk.

Prior to getting in the ring this past weekend with Danny Gonzalez at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, Garcia told media and fans that he no longer planned on fighting in the borough. But depending on how he looked, it might not be the end of his career.

Garcia (38-4, 22 KOs) looked spectacular, beating Gonzalez (22-5-1, 7 KOs) via a highlight-reel knockout in the fourth round. Once his hand was raised in victory, however, Garcia claimed that this would be the end for him.

But you know how it is in the sport of boxing. Even when fighters claim they’re done with the sport, they come crawling back. It’s the spotlight, rush of adrenaline, and, of course, paychecks that make the sport incredibly difficult to walk away from.

For Garcia, though, he’s had his time in the sun. He’s also made a ton of money. If a junior middleweight contender/champion wants him to jump back in the ring, they’ll have to back up the Brink’s truck.

“I mean, listen, the price gotta be right,” Garcia told several reporters in his post-fight press conference. “It has to make sense. The dollar signs gotta be right. The risk not worth the reward for me anymore.”

If this is the end for the 37-year-old Garcia, his career comes to a close as a former champion at 140 and 147 pounds. When asked to take a stroll down memory lane, the Philadelphia native smiles widely when discussing his wins over Amir Khan, Lamont Peterson and Lucas Matthysse.

Those victories, along with his longevity near the top of the mountain, have Garcia believing that he has earned a spot in Canastota when he becomes eligible.

“I think I had a Hall of Fame career,” Garcia continued. “I’m happy with the way everything played out.”

Danny Gonzalez suffered broken jaw, leg and ankle in Danny Garcia loss

Danny “El Gallo” Gonzalez revealed that he suffered multiple broken bones in his fourth-round knockout loss to Danny Garcia on Saturday in Brooklyn, New York.

The Queens-based Gonzalez revealed on Thursday afternoon that he suffered a broken jaw from the first punch he took moments into the fight, and suffered a broken ankle and leg when Danny Garcia landed the left hook that ended the fight. The left hook sent Gonzalez crashing to the canvas, bending his right leg behind him. Gonzalez tried to beat the count but fell back to the canvas, prompting referee Harvey Dock to waive the count.

“First round, he clipped me with a right hand and broke my jaw,” said Gonzalez, 22-5-1 (7 KOs), of Woodhaven, Queens, New York. “I couldn’t bite down on my mouthpiece, but I still tried to fight through it.

“Four rounds later, mouth wide open, he landed the left hook – and on the fall, I broke my ankle and leg trying to get up. From that first punch, the fight went downhill.”

Trainer/managed Moises Roman tells BS that Gonzalez will undergo surgery on his ankle this coming Monday, while the jaw and leg injuries "are getting better; healing by the day."

It was the second time the 35-year-old Gonzalez has been stopped as a professional. A career junior welterweight and welterweight, Gonzalez was fighting for the first time as a junior middleweight.

The former two-division champion Garcia, 38-4 (22 KOs), had floated the idea beforehand of the fight being his final bout, but he left the possibility of a ring return open afterwards.

Now it's Gonzalez who is sounding more like he is considering retirement.

“Sometimes that’s how life goes,” he said. “Twenty years of hard work … gone in a single moment.

“No excuses. No crying. Just pain, lessons and reality.

“Hate me or love me – I gave this sport everything I had. And even broken … I’m still me.”
