Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya has worked with many fighters during his time as a promoter but he may not have been giddier about any signing since Mexican star Canelo Alvarez signed with the company in 2010 until this week.That is when De La Hoya announced that Golden Boy signed blue-chip lightweight prospect Ryan Garcia to a multi-year promotional deal. Terms were not disclosed, but De La Hoya has extremely high expectations for the 18-year-old from Victorville, California.Ryan Garcia is special, simple as that, De La Hoya said. His amateur pedigree is among the best Ive ever seen. His skill set is far beyond his 18 years of age, and if you want to know how hungry he is -- because he couldnt fight professionally in the U.S. until he turned 18 -- he fought in Mexico four times before his birthday this year.I expect enormous things from Ryan and am excited to work with him as he embarks on a career that Im sure will include multiple world championships.Indeed, Garcia (6-0, 5 KOs) turned pro in June and fought four times in Mexico, where teenagers going pro is commonplace. Garcia turned 18 in August and fought two more times in Southern California before signing with Golden Boy.His first fight with the company will take place on the undercard of Bernard Hopkins farewell fight against Joe Smith on Dec. 17 at The Forum in Inglewood, California.I am so excited to announce that I have signed with Golden Boy Promotions, Garcia said. My family and I grew up watching and admiring Oscar De La Hoya and to now be fighting under his promotional banner is a dream come true. I cant wait to get back in the ring on Dec. 17 and start showing the world what Im capable of.Garcia, who began boxing at age 7, went 215-15 as an amateur. He is a 15-time national champion and won a gold medal at the 2016 youth world championships. He claimed a silver medal at the 2014 junior world championships, won National Police Athletic League championships from 2008 to 2016 and is a four-time National Silver Gloves champion (2009, 2010, 2011 and 2013) in addition to winning junior Golden Gloves titles in 2009 and 2012.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- After just two drives, Aaron Rodgers is ready to begin the season for the Green Bay Packers. San Francisco coach Chip Kelly still needs a bit more time to figure out who his starting quarterback will be once the games count next month.Rodgers made the most of his only appearance of the preseason, throwing a touchdown pass to Randall Cobb in the Green Bay Packers 21-10 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Friday night.I feel good about the work we put in tonight, he said. We had two good, sustained drives. We ran a bunch of plays in those two drives and it was up-tempo and thats important.Colin Kaepernick did not fare as well as he looked extremely rusty in his first game action since last November. He completed 2 of 6 passes and generated one first down on three drives.I wish we had done a little bit more but it was good to get out there and get my feet wet, Kaepernick said.Even though Kaepernick struggled after sitting out the past two weeks with a tired shoulder and Blaine Gabbert led the Niners to a touchdown on one of his two drives, Kelly said hes not ready to pick a starter for the season opener against the Rams on Sept. 12.Youre never going to make any decisions walking off the field, Kelly said. Well sit down as a staff and see where we are.After a three-and-out on the opening drive, Gabbert led the Niners to a score on his final series. He had a nice run and two short completions before Carlos Hyde busted a 27-yard run. Quinton Patton then took a lateral from Gabbert and scampered into the end zone on a 3-yard run.Kaepernick entered to applause on the next series, but did little to show he deserves the starting job. He was quick to leave the pocket when his first option was covered, and three of his passes were broken up by defenders. He finished 2 for 6 for 14 yards and added 18 yards on four runs.After being held out of the first two preseason games despite being healthy, Rodgers played two drives against the 49ers, going 6 for 9 for 60 yards.After tthe first drive stalled because of penalties, Rodgers led a 14-play, 87-yard drive the next possession.dddddddddddd He drew a 12-men-on-the-field penalty when he operated out of the hurry-up offense and capped the drive with a quick pass to Cobb, who juked Chris Davis and got into the end zone for a 6-yard score.ROOKIE WATCHPackers: Joe Callahan, an undrafted rookie out of Division III Wesley College, went 16 for 24 for 167 yards with an 18-yard TD pass to Jared Abbrederis.49ers: First-round draft pick Joshua Garnett did not start but came in after two series to get time with the first-team at left guard.INJURY UPDATEPackers: LB Jayrone Elliott and S Chris Banjo left with hamstring injuries and RB John Crockett injured his shoulder. ... First-round DL Kenny Clark did not play because of a back injury.49ers: Hyde (concussion), DL Quinton Dial (knee), WR Bruce Ellington (hamstring) left with injuries.POSITION BATTLESPackers: Free agent acquisition Jared Cook, competing with Richard Rodgers for the starting tight end role, caught four passes for 54 yards. Rodgers had one catch for 8 yards.49ers: Anthony Davis, a former starter at right tackle, played right guard in a game for the first time since college. Davis sat out last year in a temporary retirement before returning to the team this summer. With Trent Brown entrenched at right tackle, Davis is trying to get back into the lineup at guard.QUOTABLEPackers: Its three wins, but its more about the quality of play. We improved as a football team today, coach Mike McCarthy said after his team improved to 3-0 this preseason.49ers: We werent very consistent except for that one drive, Kelly said. That was the story of the game. We flashed but we werent consistent enough in any area whether it was running the football, converting, protecting, catching it.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
