Puerto Rican welterweight Irving Garcia is attacking Ukrainian Yuriy Nuzhnenko during his 19 April 2008 fight against Ukrainian champion. A late substitution, Garcia managed to beat Nuzhnenko to a draw. Stubborn Ukrainian warrior retained his WBA welterweight championship belt due to the technical draw but looked somewhat like a beaten boxer. Garcia, who took the fight just three days prior to the fighting date, went the 10 of 12 rounds distance against the champion and had shown strong professional skills.
