Pro career
García turned pro five days after turning 15 against Héctor Salazar. Since making his pro debut García has won the World Boxing Council (WBC) Fecarbox Super Featherweight Title, the Mexican Super Featherweight Title, World Boxing Association (WBA) Continental Light Welterweight Title, and the World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth Light Welterweight Title.
He knocked out Grover Wiley to capture the International Boxing Organization (IBO) Americas Welterweight Title and then his next bout was a victory against Alfonso Sanchez (20-5-1). It was the Undercard for Evander Holyfield's "Best Damn Comeback Period" where Holyfeild beat journeymen Jeremy Bates. In a fight with Troy Browning he was upset by undefeated 40-year-old, it was a very lackluster performance, losing by majority decision. The fight was aired on ESPN's Friday Night Fights, and the scores were 96-94, 97-93 and 95-95.
On June 27, 2008, Garcia returned to the middleweight ranks and with one punch he blew away Jose Medina (14-12, 10 KOs) in just 13 seconds of the first round on ESPN's Friday Night Fights. The fight was held at War Memorial Auditorium in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. On September 14, 2008, super middleweight Danny Perez (33-5), 31, won a unanimous decision over Julio Cesar Garcia, 21, a late replacement for Yory Boy Campas.
