But it was uh tragically cut short by a sports commissioner in this province, which is the largest province in canada and certainly with a large boxing audience, a fellow by the name of ken hayashi, who basically outlawed boxing for approximately 10 years and killed the sport professionally.
Here but now it’s on the rebound and thanks to promoters like lee baxter, we’ve got ourselves a really good coming up in the city of toronto, not on the outskirts, but in the city to be held at a nightclub.

These are remarks made during a virtual press conference this past week, couple days ago before, as i said, they square off on july 30th.
Let’S have a quick roll down the list here.
Let’S have a look see, we’ve got some good quotes um.
I have a lot of young guys in this camp here with me and said, get danny garcia and they keep me on my toes the hunger that they have gives me that motivation boxing is a grueling sport, so you have to find time to have fun.
I’M doing that again, and i know that no one can touch me once i’m happy.
I’Ve been fighting at 140 and 147 since the amateurs for 13 years.
I’Ve always felt my natural weight was more significant and i was squeezing down.
I feel like this weight fits me.
Well, i feel young and fresh i’m strong and with a lot more stamina, fair enough, jose benavides jr.
Had this to say i win over danny.
Garcia is a big step for me.
The winner of this fight will go back up in rankings.
We’Ve both lost before and i think that’s made us stronger fighters.
We’Ve learned from our mistakes we’re going to be throwing bombs all night long stay tuned, because this will be fight of the year.
I guarantee that i want to thank danny for giving me this opportunity he’s a grand champion, a power puncher and i’m ready i’ve been training hard and preparing to get it on.
I take every fight, as i’m fighting for the best of the best.
I don’t focus on the record or anything i focus on what i have to do.
The puerto rican and mexican fans will be out there.
It’Ll be a great show, i’m training hard and i’m ready to go tomorrow.
Danny garcia is one of the best of the best.
I grew up watching danny and wanted to fight him for a while.
I feel, like danny garcia was more prominent name than possible uh there’s landi lara fight, so i chose him.
This is going to be fireworks.
Good stuff out of those fantastic stuff uh by the way, quick little quote here from angel, garcia, that’s danny’s, father and trainer.
Danny is perfect for 154 pounds, it’s a new era for him and it’s time there’s a time for everything, and our time is now.
We have a perfect opponent, he’ll come in and bring the fight to us.
He’S got mexican blood and we’ve got puerto rican blood, so there will be fireworks on july 30th, good stuff, uh, jose benavidez senior, jose’s father man.
Trainer had this to say and it’s an honor to go up against danny garcia and his dad he’s one of my favorite fighters, but we have to put work at the end of the day.
Uh we’ve been working hard because we’ll give fans what they want.
I’M predicting a knockout uh.
We we need a dish to progress in the rankings.
Uh jose is not has not just to win the fight.
He has to look impressive.
Both fighters need this fight.
Danny has a great left hook and he’s mighty we’ve seen what he’s done and we know what we need to we’re facing an animal but we’re ready to give the people what they want.
