	Garcia quickly got recognition in boxing by winning eight consecutive fights, seven by KO in his first year as a pro. After signing a managerial contract he began fighting on more lucrative fightcards, several televised by [[Telefutura]] and NBC. "Fighting on the under cards of bigger names such as [[Rafael Marquez]], [[Vivian Harris]], [[Diosbelys Hurtado]], [[Rocky Juarez]], and [[Juan Diaz]] makes me train harder," Garcia said, "because I want to be where they are. I want to be a World Champion!"		Garcia quickly got recognition in boxing by winning eight consecutive fights, seven by KO in his first year as a pro.
