Reflecting on that pivotal moment, Garcia admitted, “I didn’t care” at the time, attributing his lack of emotional response to a culmination of frustrations and a lack of competitive fire.
“I was already pissed off about all the weight cut, and I was mad because nobody from my team took that serious. So when I lost I just didn’t give a s**t,” Garcia confessed.
However, the defeat served as a wake-up call for the young boxer.
Realizing the need for change, Garcia declared, “I’m never going to lose again.”
He acknowledged the necessity of losing to prompt personal and professional growth, stating,
“Sometimes you’ve got to lose to realize you’ve got to make a change. It’s not fun and games, this is a real sport where you can get hurt.”
