Garcia’s next opponent will keep an eye on his chin and try to target it in the fight. The young star has speed, power, and several other weapons in his arsenal but some boxing fans consider his chin to be his Achilles heel.

Garcia faced the Olympic medalist Luke Campbell two years back at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. In the fight, Campbell caught Garcia with a sharp right hook that floored the latter for the first time in his career. However, Garcia won that fight with a left hook to the body in the seventh round. However, after Garcia’s knockdown in the fight, some fans believe that he has a glassy chin.

Since this fight, Garcia’s opponents often warns him about his chin, and Davis also did the same with his antics in the press conference.
