Hector Luis Garcia Retires After WBA Title Run

Garcia finished his career with a record of 16-2 (10 KOs). As a professional, he trained with Robert Garcia for a period before a magical run with trainer Bob Santos, which led to him fighting Gervonta Davis on pay-per-view in 2023. Initially, Santos remembers often taking Garcia out to eat because he felt bad for him and didn’t know when he’d fight next after Garcia originally moved to Las Vegas. That would change with a phone call when he asked if Garcia, 33, could be ready to fight Chris Colbert on 19 days’ notice.
