Virgil did Fisticuffs proud by out boxing Miguel Garcia who was a good boxer. Although this was Virgil's pro debut Virgil looked calm and and very relaxed while displaying a very solid performance.
This could not be said about his pre fight preparation. Virgil who was understandably nervous for his first pro fight, put his boxing shoe on the wrong foot. Virgil and I couldn't stop laughing once I pointed this out to him. But believe me when I say this was the only thing that Virgil did wrong that night.
Once in the ring and the shoes on the right feet, Virgil work his jab using his speed and distance hurting Garcia in the first and third round. Garcia continued to retreat from Virgil's constant attack and in the fourth and final round Garcia exchanged a little more with Virgil but could not match Virgil's speed. The judges saw it as 36-40, 39-37, and 36-40 all rounds going to Virgil in a unanimous decision.
His performance caught the eye of the promoter and Casino's general manger who requested a meeting to discuss signing Virgil to a contract with the Emerald Queen casino.
Check out a article from "Boxing Prospects" a site for the Pacific Northwest Boxing scene that covered Virgil Fight.
Congratulations Virgil from your Fisticuffs family!!!!
