i still think miguel angel garcia has alot of learning to do before they put him in for a title shot! for one, he relies too much on his right hand. he's got a nice jab with a powerful right hand but he's going to need a lot more to become a champion. last night i hardly saw any body work from him and he could use his left hook alot more. the times that he did use it (left hook), it was very weak. he needs to develop these if he wants to be a champion because that left/right combo isn't going to cut it at that level.
the problem is not only with garcia's repertoire, but the featherweight division is absolutely loaded with great fighters. right now, chris john, gamboa, caballero, juanma lopez, jhonny gonzales, daniel ponce de leon, steven luevano and a few others would be favored against garcia. the only champion i can see garcia beating is orlando salido but even that fight would be a very tough one for garcia.
