Boxer Shows Recovery

Compiled From Wire Services

Colombian boxer Jimmy Garcia was squeezing his father’s hand and responding to voices, prompting his doctor to voice cautious optimism about his chances for recovery from a brain injury suffered in a title fight with Gabriel Ruelas on Saturday night.

Garcia remained in critical condition at University Medical Center, but doctors were encouraged by his responsiveness and the fact they were able to cut down some on his ventilator support.
