I hate the Rod Salka fight. But does Swift deserve an easy one?

[mikinoki]

Champions in the past have sprinkled in easy bouts between their tougher matches. Riddick Bowe fought Michael Dokes and Jesse Ferguson, for example, in between the first and second Evander Holyfield fights.

If you look at Danny's career he's been in against one good fighter after another. Up to and including Mauricio Herrera.

Is he entitled to take a soft touch?

No

garcia vs rod salka makes pac vs abregu look like the greatest fight this year.

and garcia already was given an easy one with herrera except the entire plan backfired hahaha.

[SnakeVen0m]

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, HELL NO! You're the WBC, WBA, Ring champion, you should be fighting world class fighters, not local overachievers. I will not support this decision at all. Hope this thing flops big time so they can be forced to put on better matchups.

[Suckmedry]

Stupid fight. IMO garcia tends to fight to the level of his opponent, he will beat this dude but prob not look too great doing it.

[Chrismart]

No disrespect to Salka, but this is a horrible fight. There is no defending it.

[AddiX]

On boxing scene, champions deserve "easy ones" now.

Smh...

[LinealChampion]

Can you guys really blame Haymon and Garcia Sr for protecting Danny Garcia?

Lets be real, dude has a asskicking waiting to happen.

Thurman ko's him.
Porter ko's him
Devon outboxes him
Mayweather outboxes him
Khan will win the rematch
Timothy Bradley outboxes him
Algeri outboxes him
Ruslan ko's him
Pacquiao ko's him

They are trying to squeeze as much as possible out of Danny

There should still be some standard for how "soft" a soft touch is allowed to be. At least fight someone who's ranked in the WBA/WBC at 140. Garcia will get crucified if Salka makes him look bad. Additionally, this fight is taking place on Showtime, not on ESPN/NBC/FOX. This match-up is ****ed up, and it doesn't matter what lens we choose to look at it from.
