Danny Garcia vs. Jose Benavidez Overview

Garcia is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Errol Spence Jr on December 5, 2020. That fight was held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. At stake were the IBF and WBC welterweight titles.
Benavidez (27-1-1, 18 KOs) suffered the lone loss of his pro career in 2018, a 12th-round TKO loss to Terence Crawford in a 147-pound title fight. The 30-year-old from Phoenix has competed only once since then, a November Fight betting draws with the unheralded Francisco Emanuel Torres.

Garcia Beings New Challenge While Acknowledging End is Near
“This is a great relief on my body,” said Garcia, Danny, who looks incredible shape entering this fight. “I hear the talk that I may not be big enough at 154, but I fought big guys at 147. I’ve been on a world-class level for 20 years. I fought the best in the world. For Keith Thurman, I was happy at the time because I was able to make the weight easy. The Spence fight, and the Adrian Granados fight (in April 2019), I’m not going to lie, it was hard making 147. I was cutting it close.
“Spence beat me. All the credit to him. I was flat, and I looked flat. I never felt right. I’m in a great place mentally. I can’t wait to fight. I also know where I am at this stage of my career. I realize the end is near. My daughter Philly is seven, and I have another daughter on the way. Right now, as I’m talking, I have three fights in my head. “I feel like I can make history winning another title at 154 pounds.”
“My goal is to walk away from boxing, not beat up,” Garcia said. “I’ve been smart with my money. I have great, trusted people around me, like my father and Al Haymon. But I still love the sport. I also realize that I’m closer to the finish line.”
Garcia feels he beat himself against Spence, The Ring’s No. 4 pound-for-pound fighter and No. 1 welterweight. He holds some solace in that he went the distance with the welterweight division’s boogeyman and came away with nothing more than a black eye.
