She has competed in the Bantamweight and Super Flyweight divisions. She fights from a southpaw position and is known for her technical skills and movement.

Career

García began her professional campaign in May 2010. After a steady start, she captured the WBA Bantamweight World Title in January 2013 with a unanimous decision victory over Janeth Perez. She successfully defended the title twice before losing a non-title bout later that year.

After a period of ups and downs, including challenges for WBC titles against Mariana Juarez and Guadalupe Martinez Guzman, García experienced a late-career resurgence. In November 2023, more than a decade after her first world title, she defeated Stephanie Silva via unanimous decision to capture the IBF Super Flyweight World Title.

She successfully defended her IBF title in December 2024 against Gloria Gallardo. In June 2025, she made another successful defense, stopping Maria Martinez Sandoval in the sixth round via TKO in Tlalnepantla, Mexico, proving she remains a top-tier fighter well into her 40s.
