Garcia vs Benavidez HIGHLIGHTS: July 30, 2022 | PBC on Showtime
Two-division world champion Danny “Swift Garcia dominated in his super welterweight debut Saturday night, cruising to a majority decision victory over exciting contender Jose Benavidez Jr. in the SHOWTIME main event from Barclays Center in Brooklyn headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event. He saved perhaps his most expressive moment post-fight when he broke down in the ring discussing his struggles with mental health with SHOWTIME reporter Jim Gray, showing the authenticity that has made him such a fan-favorite in Brooklyn.
“I did take a break going through mental things, things went dark, I went through anxiety, deep depression, just trying to be strong,” said a visibly emotional Garcia. “It was the pressure of life, being a good dad, just letting it out right now, because it was all stuck inside. It rained on me for a year and a half and the only way to do better was to fight again. I’m a fighter. If you battle anxiety and depression, you can get out of it, that’s what I did today. I fought.”
Philadelphia’s Garcia (37-3, 21 KOs) has become a staple at Barclays Center ever since headlining the arena’s first boxing event in 2012, and his return on Saturday night against Benavidez (27-2-1, 18 KOs), saw him pick up his seventh victory in Brooklyn.

You could tell Jose’s size was a problem but Danny still handled his business
@Billy Bob haha yes that too😂😂
Jose could’ve been. He didn’t use his reach just hooks and haymakers
Think twice….pagh pagh pow pow pow boom boom heeyagh heeyagh bagh bagh heeyagh pow pagh pagh heeyagh bagh bagh says Jose
That was a great fight, both looked sharp and definitely the best I’ve seen Garcia look for a long time, he looks refreshed at 154.

Jose looked sharp for 3 rounds in the whole fight
Congratulations to Danny swift Garcia for a brilliant display of boxing skill last night .I didn’t know that Danny was suffering from depression and anxiety that could be hard on anyone
I know because I’ve been experiencing the same thing .
Continue what you love best Danny! 🇵🇷🙏
@Thomas Cunningham he don’t lost this fight,but the best 3 fight he lost it..
Contemplating leaving his father as a trainer who’s ben there since day 1 or retirement had to be tough mentally on him. Good for Danny he overcame his own adversity. That’s what champions are made of.
I respect Danny for not complaining before the fight, he let it out in the ring and then brought it out before hand
Mauricio Herrera made him go into depression
USA
One of probably the more entertaining boxing matches, both just were enjoying it in there
Dannys celebration at the end is hilarious 😂
Danny Garcia did most of the work. Benevidez spent most of the time posing and shaking his head, instead of throwing punches. How in the world he could have thought that he won the fight is absolutely delusional. Garcia landed over 150 body punches, Jose landed 12! That fact alone speaks volumes about the fight.
He needs to stop playing around and be more serious in his fights also. That playing around and showing his chin will get him hurt some day.
He did that with Crawford, and bud was outboxing him
All those bodyshots played a factor. Took the gas out of Benavidez later in the fight. He started clamping his elbows to his body a sign of effective bodywork.
Benevidez did the same thing when he faught Terrance Crawford.He a bum as fighter my opinion. Danny need to fight a top guy in that division and he don’t have power it look like
Watching this highlight reel you would have thought Jose was robbed
Lol jose looked Hella good in this highlight you ain’t kiddin lol
Wtf hell naw
@King Kong yea he did that same thing against Crawford! He’s no bum but he definitely needs to throw more!
@S Morgan yeah I know he can fight but I thought Garcia won he landed more and trew more Everytime Garcia hit him he just raise his hands instead of returning punches!!!✌️
@King Kong Benny can FIGHT! But that’s the problem….it’s Boxing and he needs to score more shots! On the street he’s a problem for ANYbody!!
When Danny’s up on his toes looks really good!! Gotta love DSG what a great champion!!! Respectful and honest good for boxing for sure!!
@Kellz Facts…
But when a fighter has brilliant footwork Danny looks gun-shy.
That was great mental, physical, and technical performance by both fighters.
DANNY YOU GOAT FOR BOXING
