By Manuel Perez: Undefeated welterweight prospect Danny Garcia (6-0, 5 KOs) pitched a six-round shut out on Saturday night, beating Nicaraguan fighter Julio Gamboa (28-13-2. 17 KOs) by a lopsided 6-round unanimous decision on the undercard of the Oscar De La Hoya vs. Steve Forbes bout at the Home Depot Center, in Carson, California. Garcia, only 20, landed at will with very heavy shots for all six rounds, eventually knocking Gamboa down at the bell with a big right hand. However, Gamboa made it up and the fight ended there as time ran out in the fight. Despite easily winning the fight, the knockout artist Garcia seemed frustrated that he couldn’t stop the strong-chinned Gamboa despite putting everything he had in trying to get Gamboa out of there.

At the start of the fight in the 1st round, Garcia was all over Gamboa, hitting him with huge shots in a lightning fast fashion. Most fighters, perhaps even a champion or two, might have gone down from the heavy shots that Garcia was throwing in the opening round, but not Gamboa, who took the punches without showing any signs of being hurt.
