Danny Garcia can’t look past Peterson in main event at Barclays
Much has been made of the fact that there will be no world titles on the line when our borough’s unofficial house fighter, unbeaten Danny “Swift” Garcia, meets Lamont Peterson Saturday night in the main event of the 11th boxing card at Downtown Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.
But there could actually be a lot more than belts at stake for both fighters, most notably Garcia, who will enter the squared circle for the fourth time at Barclays with a perfect 29-0 overall record, including 17 knockouts.
With the entire boxing world focused on the May 2 super bout between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, Garcia may find himself in line for the biggest payday of his life against either legendary fighter, if of course, he can secure a win against Peterson.
