We do not get numerous consideration, however we will scrap…I am prepared for something,” Garcia mentioned. “He likes to hit, he modifies stances and tries to interrupt the opponent’s rhythm by doing that. I believe he respects my hitting, but when he does not, I am going to contact up. Then he’ll most likely take a shot. It is a huge sport, so I’ll come ready.”
