Granados Vs Garcia
Garcia aims low to the body with his hooks, while Granados goes high and the two end in a clinch. Granados lands a few shots to the body but eats a hook. Garcia avoids a small combination. Granados gets Garcia’s back to the ropes but the referee separates them. The latest episode of “The Danny Garcia Show” was one of the best yet. A boisterous crowd at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California, watched Garcia become the first man to stop Adrian Granados, delivering a seventh-round TKO in the main event of PBC on FOX. The outcome was never in doubt. Danny Garcia KO'd Adrian Granados in the 7th sound to give 'Tigre' his first KO loss.

The latest “Inside PBC Boxing” got a bit awkward when Danny Garcia and Adrian Granados joined the crew that featured Shawn Porter, who has fought both fighters.
After some trash talking between Garcia and Granados, Porter was put on the spot when host Kate Abdo asked the WBC welterweight champion who was the tougher opponent.
Porter attempted to give a political answer before Abner Mares said, “I just need a name, Shawn.”
Adrian Granados Vs Garcia
Granados was the name.
“If I have to put a name on it, tougher fight might be Adrian Granados,” said Porter, who defeated Granados by unanimous decision in 2017. “I give it to Adrian based on his pressure and his relentlessness throughout the fight.”
Granados (20-6-2, 14 knockouts) and Garcia (34-2, 20 KOs) are scheduled to meet April 20 for a welterweight clash in Carson, California, that will headline a PBC on Fox event. The bout will take place at Dignity Health Sports Park, formerly known as StubHub Center, where so many memorable ring wars have occurred.
Judging by the animosity between the two fighters, this could turn into another classic for the venue.
Garcia, who joined the boxing show by video, wasn’t happy when Granados called him “just another opponent.”
“I’ve never been an opponent,” Garcia repeated numerous times. “I’ve been a champion my whole career. I’ve always been at the top of the game. Never been an opponent. Change those words, buddy.”
“Nah, I ain’t changing nothing, man,” Granados responded. “You put your socks on just like another man, bro. You ain’t nobody special to me.”
Garcia Vs Granados
Mares, a co-analyst along with Porter, pointed out that Garcia appeared angry and tense. It must not have been an easy position for Garcia to receive questions from Porter and hear him say Granados was the tougher fight.
Porter defeated Garcia by unanimous decision in September to claim the vacant WBC title. Garcia dropped to 1-2 in his past three fights, including a split decision loss to Keith Thurman in 2017.
