So for the undercard fights, I watched bits and pieces, I know terrible for watching boxing, but had to get stuff done before the main event.  The kid did show heart getting up.  I had my $ on Garcia by decision.  He punches hard, and has good speed, but it was glaring how inexperienced and flawed he was.  His flat feet and them saying he's got speed to make up for it, won't offset a more game opponent much.  Also he stands straight up and leaves his entire body exposed (him being 5'11" doesn't help), which Campbell did a great job of showing that with his body work.  Also the lack of head movement.  That said,  I was also happy about him going to Campbell afterwards and what he told him.  He learned, and that's the best he could gain from that fight.

I took note of one thing Garcia mentioned, he saw on all Campbells fights, he always backs up and is never the aggressor.  I wonder how much of a factor it was in his camp (again Canelo camp involvement) picking Campbell.  Although maybe it's not as big a factor since he called out Tank and Haney.  I think this kids in over his head against either, but glad to see the youngster wanting to get in the mix.  Very curious to see if he adjusts those weaknesses for the next fight, if not he might not get up the next time.  It was also good I didn't hear him even mention Lopez, they're not in the same universe.  It's going to get very interesting sooner than later though with this kid, he's young, growing and 5'11", he's not sticking around 135 for long, and boy are these divisions getting crammed with great competition.  Great for us fans, '21 and beyond look GREAT in the sport.
