Garcia 13/8 to KO Guerrero

Coral’s bet of the day comes from Danny Garcia’s awaited bout with Ruben Guerrero on Saturday night, when ‘Swift’ is a tasty 13/8 to knockout his challenger and claim the vacant WBC welterweight title.

Garcia (31-0, 18 KOs), an American fighter of Puerto Rican descent, finally collides with ‘the Ghost’ Guerrero (31-3-1, 18 KOs) following an extremely heated final press conference between both parties, which resulted in a scuffle ahead of the title scrap at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The two challengers for the WBC crown saw their fathers almost come to blows during those final press duties, before such a scenario was eventually broken up, but the bad blood is sure to boil over when Garcia and Guerrero meet in the ring.

Guerrero has awoken the devil

Ahead of the welterweight title encounter, Garcia claimed that his 32-year-old opponent has awoken the devil inside of him and he plans to end proceedings early.

“I want to thank Ruben Guerrero because he’s awakened the devil. I can’t wait for Saturday night to show the world what Danny Garcia is all about,” declared Garcia.
