The stands that night were filled with Garcia's chief fan base -- screaming teenage girls and their parents. One would have to go back to the mid-1990s to find a similar scene, during the rise of the Golden Boy himself, Oscar De La Hoya, who happens to be Garcia's promoter and who knows a thing or two about attracting fans beyond hard-core boxing aficionados.
"He has the charisma, and he has the 'it' factor," De La Hoya told ESPN. "It's a matter of testing him up in the ring, and if he passes the test with flying colors, we have something special on our hands. I'm actually guiding his career very carefully and paying attention to his career very carefully because with this guy's following and his potential, he can be the next superstar in boxing."
Garcia, the 2017 ESPN.com prospect of the year, has grown his fan base on social media in large part thanks to his boyish good looks and the entertaining and fun-filled training videos he regularly posts, not to mention the occasional wacky video of him displaying funky dance moves.
Asked how it was possible for a fighter who has yet to have a big fight or win a title, and who has had only limited national television exposure, to connect with so many fans, Garcia, who turned 20 on April 8, said, "The fun I bring to it. I'm trying to involve the fans and bring in a crowd where not only do they love boxing but they love me as a person. The generation now is on social media, so you have to use that to bring in that type of crowd into boxing."
Garcia continued, "I think it's the energy I bring. People love positivity, and I think that's what I show. I work on my technique, but when I do a video, I want people to be amazed by the speed or the power. The casual fans don't care if your hands are up or your hands are down. They just want to see you knocking people out and having fun, and they like me because I'm a kid, I guess. I think that's what it is, and girls like me. I'm not gonna get into that."
Garcia laughed as he made his remark about his female fan base, but he knows he could easily be on the cover of a teen magazine.
"You just have to be yourself," he said. "The hard-core fans will always love it, but you have to involve the casual people, too, and that's what I do."
But Garcia also is more than just a pretty face, a point he hopes to continue to pound home by performing well when he takes a bit of a step up in competition against Carlos Morales on Saturday (Facebook Watch, 9 p.m. ET) at the Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, California.
The scheduled 10-round lightweight fight is the main event of the second "Golden Boy Fight Night" card that will stream live on Facebook Watch as part of the promotional company's deal with the social media giant.
"Whether [Morales] thinks I'm a kid or that I'm always on social media -- that's irrelevant," Garcia said. "What matters is what will happen in the ring. For this fight, you can expect big numbers. It will set new precedents. This Facebook deal was made for me!
"I expect for him to come in shape. He has a lot of experience against some pretty good opposition, like Alberto Machado, but I also see some weaknesses that I feel I could expose. I feel way better [for] this fight than the last fight. I've had a long training camp. This fight will be at 135 [pounds]. I'm not saying I can't make 130, but we're just going to go for the 135 this fight."
Garcia has been campaigning at junior lightweight, where he has boxed for several years. But he is beginning to feel the strains of making that weight, so this fight will be at lightweight.
"I don't see a much longer career at 130. Maybe if I get a title [shot]," Garcia said. "I'm growing. I've been at 130 since I was 16. My body is filling out, I'm changing. You won't see me much longer at 130."
Garcia's bout on May 4 was against former featherweight world title challenge Jayson Velez, and although Garcia scored a near-shutout decision win, he was not at all happy with his performance and is expecting a better one against Morales.
"That fight [against Velez] was very short notice for me because I thought I was going to fight on the Canelo [Alvarez]-GGG [Gennady Golovkin] card [on May 5], but then you know what happened. It got canceled, and I stopped training," said Garcia, who will go into the fight with Morales with new head trainer Danny Luna replacing his father, Henry Garcia, who remains in his corner as an assistant. "Then when I heard I was going to fight again, I had, like, two weeks to get to 130 pounds. So the whole camp, I was just worried about getting to 130 pounds. But that's no excuse for me. I go in there, I boxed, I hurt my hand.
