Boxing schedule for the month of August
- Thread starter 2-0-Sixx
- Start date
Normally when people use that as an argument it means they don't have any other argument to make. In that case commentators/critics/observers in any sport should never comment on any sport they've never played at a high level. It's something people say when they don't have an argument.
I could somewhat see where he's coming from because you want to give a guy credit for stepping in the ring. I don't want to disparage Salka because dudes putting himself on the line and if you get a big opportunity like that to beat a name guy you go for it, but it was a nonsense fight to be headlining an event. Put competitive fights on the main card and have any tune ups and shit on Sho Extreme.
2-0, have you heard if Garcia is actually big in PR? Like do they consider him one of their stars?

My thing about Paulie is he's a sell out. Straight up. After getting robbed by Diaz he went on an epic rant about Al Haymon. He would say stuff that Al Haymon fighters always fight "laundry mat attendants" and countless other things. And then he signed to Al Haymon and now defends these fights because he can't bite the hand that feeds him. In 2009 he was saying Pacquiao would beat Mayweather. Then he flipped it, said floyd wins easy, Pac is on PEDs. He demanded VADA testing against Broner, Al Haymon threatened to cancel the fight and Paulie shut his mouth never said a word about it, then gets KOd by Porter and then accuses Porter of being on ROIDS. This guy is just a fraud.
Anyways, from what I hear Danny is not a star in Puerto Rico. They expected way better numbers when he fought Herrera there. No idea what the PPV numbers will be like for this fight I can't imagine them being good. I remember a debate going on because some boxer said there are currently no Puerto Rican chanpions and Danny then tweeted he's the only PR champ. Lot's of comments on his tweet by Puerto Ricans saying no you're an American champ since you were born in the US. So I doubt many really consider him as "their own".

My mistake I got duped. That was apparently a fake Espinoza twitter account that is on a roll since Saturday with hilarious tweets. He even duped Dan Rafael who retweeted and commented on one of the fake tweets (something about how Dan Rafael said it was the card of the year and dan replied I did NOT say that!" lol)
PR's don't like him cuz he doesn't speak Spanish, straight up! My in-law, who was born in PR and raised in Brooklyn, knows Danny and says he has a lot of haters in PR cuz he never presented himself as such plus all the comments his dad be makng about being American. This PR shit coming from Danny is to try to get more fans to back him up just incase he was to fight Floyd.
Speaking of fruity and latin goonies, what was up with that mask he was wearing? That was the gayest thing I've seen that's boxing related since the facelube commercial.

By the way, shame on that ref for letting that fight get to that knockout of Salka. Dude was obviously overmatched and Garcia was clearly just loading up on that left hook. He was wobbly, had been down twice, and pretty much had no chance in there.
This was also the umpteenth time that Garcia has landed that heavy left hook while not even facing his opponent. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but he's not going to be elite if that's how he fights. This fight actually did him a disservice in my opinion because if he jumps right in to another big fight, it's going to be a huge jump in opposition. I'd like to see Garcia/Peterson even though Peterson loses to every good fighter he fights, even on roids. Except for Khan, who I thought narrowly beat Peterson, but he was still failed a test on that fight too

So Garcia really did fight a cat who was 77? Who the fuck sanctioned it?

Fortunately because of the backlash no one did. It was a non title fight (you know it's bad when even the WBC is like woah hold on here!
Leo Santa Cruz is fighting a guy ranked #93 on the Mayweather undercard smh. It's bad but at least Leo isn't the lineal champ and it's not the main event
