Robert Garcia, trainer for ‘Bam’ Rodriguez, visits Alamo City in search of next world champion
Robert Garcia would like nothing better than to discover another fighter like Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez. A young, can’t-miss prospect lacking only opportunity, not world championship talent. But that’s not the main reason the renowned California trainer has expanded his investment in San Antonio boxing, from a boxing gym bearing his name to promoting fight cards showcasing local, up-and-coming boxers. “I just like coming here,” Garcia said. “The fans are great, and the kids have heart.
A third fighter, bantamweight Ethan Perez of San Antonio, was scratched from the show after his opponent backed out at the 11th hour. Cortez remained undefeated with a second-round TKO of 39-year-old Carlos Borruel of Los Angeles. “Daniel is improving in the gym, sparring and doing things the right way,” Garcia said. “Bam developed a little faster, but Daniel will get there.” Other fighters on the March 1 card, not currently part of the Garcia brand, showed off their talents, too.
