As the
hookah lounge got live and the coronation of our champion, Danny Garcia kicked
off the night, the herky-jerky style of Mauricio Herrera posed a crazy problem. Saturday
night would
not give us the end result of the Amir Khan or Erik Morales fights. No, the
evening was all about whether “our” champion
could be solid in front of our PhillyRican crowd.
Within the
same arena, the Coliseo Ruben Rodriguez, where our heroes, Miguel Cotto, Felix Trinidad
y Wilfredo Gomez once worked, it was time for the kid from the 215 to make
noise. All of North Philadelphia came out in droves, making noise and shouting,
“We started from the bottom.” It felt as close to a Trinidad fight that I could
remember. After the fight, everyone started to say how “Swift” wasn’t ready for
“Money” but let's be honest; the once and former “Pretty Boy” is a different
style of fighter.
Herrera
kept trying to set traps and counter, which is why Garcia’s best round was when
he punched through his target in round 11. All honesty aside, the best part is Garcia will come
home to “Real rap”…
...“It’s
all love, kid.”
…“We are
proud of you!”
…“It's time
for bigger and better things.”
Seriously,
Mr. Haymon, now we all get why you signed the “Slim Jim,” brother!
Red
Lounge, Black Pumpkin y “J” Street for life!
