Referee Garcia ready to do his best

By Gabriel F. Cordero

During Friday’s Chavez Jr-Rubio weigh-in, Rubio promoter Reginaldo Kuchle spoke with referee Guadalupe Garcia. Rubio’s representatives had filed a protest with the WBC to not use a Mexican referee due to the Chavez family’s iconic status in the country. “I will do my best, as I have done my whole career,” said Garcia. “For me every fight is important, regardless of the country, category or achievements of the boxer. I love this sport and I will always be a referee who tries to do the right thing in the ring.”

Kuchle told Garcia, “We trust you will do your best in a fight between two of the best of Mexico looking to make a good fight…we know their qualities and we know that it will be a big job in the ring . Please understand our position but we expect a great performance from you.”
