NEW YORK (April 28, 2013) – In a thrilling night of boxing before an excitable crowd of more than 13,000 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, Danny “Swift” Garcia won a hard-fought unanimous decision over veteran Brooklynite Zab Judah to retain his WBA Super, WBC and Ring Magazine 140-pound titles. In the co-feature, Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin outworked Fernando Guerrero to retain his WBO Middleweight World Championship via a the seventh round technical knockout.

Garcia and Judah entered the arena with a trail of bad blood stemming from animosity throughout the event promotion. While both fighters started slow in a feeling-out process, Garcia began to gain momentum, visibly hurting Judah for the first time in the fifth. In the eighth round Garcia landed a crisp straight right hand that sent Judah to the canvas.

AMIR KHAN, WBA Super Lightweight Super World Champion

“Training camp has been brilliant.  It was a long camp, but we paced it well.  We were very professional and smart with the way we did things.  It was a 15-week camp and I enjoyed every second of it.

First of all, I want to say happy Monday to everyone and thank you for taking the time to be on today’s call regarding the Amir Khan and Danny Garcia World Championship Fight. I wanted to get the call turned over to the guys quickly because they’re taken a break from training camp. Just two notes, we have Amir’s media day tomorrow at 2:30 at the Wildcard Gym so everyone in L.A. hopefully we will see you out there, and we will be sending out a full fight week schedule in the next couple days with a full week of activities starting on Tuesday next week so we’re real excited for that.

Now I’d like to turn the call over to the President of Golden Boy Promotions, Oscar de la Hoya. Oscar…
