After 12-rounds of a slugfest, Garcia surpassed Benavidez on two scorecards and finally won the bout by decision. This victory will certainly boast the confidence of a Philadelphia-based boxer. He was struggling in his career for the last few years. The former welterweight and junior welterweight champion had lost 3 times in his last 6 bouts.

With this victory, Garcia has begun a new journey at 154 lbs.
