WBO flyweight title

On December 18, 1999 García won the WBO Flyweight title by upsetting Puerto Rico's José López over twelve rounds.^[2] Lopez at the time was scheduled to fight Alejandro Montiel, who withdrew hours before the fight. García, a spectator on that night, agreed to fight in Montiel's stead and won, to much surprise, using borrowed equipment. He also defended his title successfully against Jose Rafael Sosa in Córdoba, Argentina.^[3]
