Juan Manual Marquez, former welterweight, and the only man to have knocked out Manny Pacquiao during his hey-day is asserting that Mikey Garcia is the number one challenger for Pac-Man.
On February 29, Mikey Garcia faced down Jessie Vargas, a top contender whose speed and experience initially complicated Garcia’s gameplan. However, Garcia is a habitually slow starter, proving that he could time his 1-2 punch combination against a bigger, more experienced welterweight.
As the fight progressed, Mikey Garcia was able to break down through Jessie Vargas’ lead right hand and a propensity to gas out against the ropes.
