Los Angeles, CA   - Danny "Swift" Garcia, (32-0, 18 KOs) is celebrating his achievement of becoming a two-division world champion on Saturday night. Garcia withstood a tough fight to win a twelve round unanimous decision over Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero, (33-4, 18 KOs) to capture the vacant WBC welterweight title. Scores were 116-112 on all three judges' scorecard.

After the fight was over, Guerrero disagreed with the scoring of the fight. He felt he won at least eight or nine rounds in the fight - which would make it 116-112 or 117-111 in his favor.

Most at ringside saw the fight 115-113 for Garcia. It wasn't an easy win. Guerrero did come on strong in the first half of the fight, but seemed to take his foot off the gas in the second half, which allowed Garcia to work pile up points and land big punches.

"I thought I won the majority of the fight. I won at least eight rounds easy....putting pressure, getting on the inside, landing shots, picking off a lot of his shots, a lot of his shots landed on the gloves. I thought I won at least eight, nine rounds," Guerrero said

Garcia was very confident that he was well ahead on the scorecards going into the twelfth and final round. He was confident enough that he admits he gave away the twelfth round when he made the decision to stand toe to toe and started trading punches to excite the crowd. Garcia agrees with the judges who had it 8-4 in his favor.

"He fought a good fight, a hard fight  - but he didn't win the fight. I had it 8-4 and if I would have closed the twelfth, it could have been 9-3. I thought I won the fight clean. I showed better boxing skills. I slugged with him when I wanted to. I boxed when I wanted to. I was the more versatile fighter. He's a tough warrior. He was never going to stop [coming] and he comes to fight," Garcia said.
