Hard-hitting 20-year-old Carrizo Springs native Juan Garcia impressed Saturday evening, just south of the border in Tamaulipas, Mexico. Garcia, a highly touted 130-pound prospect with sensational power, got off to a quick start against his opponent, Angel Castaneda of Durango, Mexico. The Texan worked behind a snappy jab and mixed-up head and body shots. Keeping his opponent off-balance. Garcia was in control from the opening bell on and was clearly the classier fighter. A right hand scored early in the first stanza that seemed to stun Castaneda. Moments later, a big right hand from Garcia wobbled his opponent. The hard-hitting 20-year-old followed up with a barrage of power shots that overwhelmed the Tamaulipas native on shaky legs and in a world of trouble. When the moment presented itself, the South Texan scored with a picture-perfect left hook that dropped his opponent. Castaneda was able to make it to his feet, but it was short-lived. Garcia stayed on the attack and hunted his man down. The patient youngster waited for his opening and scored with a right hand that rocked Castaneda again. He then scored with a violent left hook to the body, which put his overmatched opponent down for a second and final time. The referee waived the bout off at 2:30 into the opening round. Giving Garcia the first-round TKO victory.
