What has happened to Luis Garcia W 12 (KO 9) - L 0 (KO 0) - D 0?

He was supposed to be the next big thing in the Light Heavyweight division.

It is a weird one mate.
Signed with De Bella last year since when - nothing.
I think his "desire" for the game was always in question, but he was very dangerous when in the ring.

I remember Froch talking about sparring Garcia and this was when Garcia had only had 3 fights or something and he said he was a special talent! It's a shame.

Yeah, it's always a huge shame when someone shows great talent, only to throw it away. Hopefully it's not the end for him, but he has clearly wasted at least some of his talent already.

Im pretty sure Froch said he was kicking his in sparring at times! Haha

he would only be about 24 or 25 now

I linked to his profile above. He's 25 (26 in Dec). What's also important, imo, is that he has been a pro since 2008 and only had 12 fights.
