He starts to make some sense and then he goes off on a tangent sounding lie a crazy. I agree with him on the HBO commentary thing but he doesn't get the idea that they are trying to reach other markets by "building" European and Asian fighters. They are "building" Thurman and they "built" Berto who is Haitian by birthright but for all intensive purposes, is American. The same can be said of Donaire. They were "building' Kirkland and Jacobs, both American.
For every example he has, there is a counter-example for the other side of the coin.
On that note it always makes me laugh when the HBO team start complaining about Calzaghe's showboating in his fight with Roy. Dear god the hypocrisy,
Roy was dancing in the ring embarrassing Felix Trinidad and Lampley didn't say sht. Joe did it to Roy and he got all bent outta shape.
He's not completely wrong about some of the things he was talking about though (Like the commentary). The bias sometimes hown in HBO is horrible. I think he means (about GGG, etc) that there's good american fighters who get a lot of s hit from other countries and still dont get the respect they deserve here in the US. The way he goes off about saying it is kind of wrong but it is what it is.
What he's saying is that fighters should be discriminated against by the Networks if they're not born in America.
And also that Asians working hard and running their own businesses is 'wrong', and something he'd love to put an end to.

Dude is pretty classless overall though
Angel's Khan impersonation was hilarious. I don't get all the butthurt in this thread. There's just too much butthurting going on. I'll say this though. The more shit Angel says, the sweeter his kid's downfall will be. There will be one fight that Angel's mouth will trying to write a check that his son won't be able to cash. The stuff he said wasn't racist but it surely is very ignorant.
Don't get me wrong, i am absolutely not jumping on my high horse regarding this issue and calling for the everyone in boxing to be polite sweethearts. Hell my favourite fighter used to clown his opponents whilst he was fighting them :lol1:

The problem i have is this twat of a man Angel Garcia says all this sh1t but at the end of the day the prick get's away with it. He's not the one that will be stepping in the ring to fight. He's not the one that will have to back up his words. He can talk all this sh1t from the safety of outside the ring, without actually having to get inside and back those words up.
The way he insulted a great warrior like Erik Morales said everything you needed to know about this man. Can you imagine this cunt daring to insult Morales knowing he'll have to back up those words? It's all well and good when you can get your son who's in the prime of his life to back those words up for you but if he himself had to even against this version of El Terrible he'd quickly be taught a well needed lesson in humility and respect.
F*ck Erik Morales!!! He tried to cheat in a boxing fight vs his son. He can talk all the sh*t he wants about him.

I remember when Angel said something about how ''Pakistinians can't fight'' during the build up to the Khan fight :lol1: and the general reaction on here was how he's great for the sport etc etc.
Now many of those who were laughing that off seem to be upset by his GGG comments :lol1:
It would not surprise me if he says something insulting about black fighters in the build up to the Judah fight, not racist but a little insulting, i wonder if that will still be all fun and games, great for the sport etc etc.
Same for Mexican fighters....same for any other fighters. This guy is clearly a bigot and whilst you're all laughing him off now i wonder if you'll be doing the same when he insults your own personal favourites which may very well happen soon when Garcia fights our resident forum superhero Lucas Matthysse if the fight ever get's made.
With something along the lines of ''erm erm Argentininiericans can't fight''.
I wonder then if it still will be how he's great for the sport and funny etc etc.
he is right about one thing and thats the way hbo commentators get on certain fighters d!ck all the time, khan is as good an example as any. im surprised he didnt mention dannys fight with him too.
when danny was beating his ass all over the ring, khan lands like one or two punches having been hit with about a dozen in the last 20 seconds and lampley says khan has taken over. what fcking fight was he watching?
thats how they do it though. peterson fight is just another example, their bias in that fight was sickening. makes it hard to watch what was otherwise a great fight.
Earlier today there was a thread about him trashing Rigo. Is someone paying this idiot to trash all the fighters that fight on HBO? Somebody should do an imitation of this monkey on speed talking a mile a minute and waving his hands around. He has never had a fight in his life so who the hell is he to thrash talk these good fighters? He is trashing fighters that are much better than his kid. I hope Judah KOs Danny.
I'm Hispanic and I feel embarrassed for my people with this guy. Damn, racist as all hell
Definitely a disgrace. How you gonna go on and make fun of people who dont speak English. Its like this dude forgot where he came from.

If they were the same size Garcia would get slaughtered, and I think he's currently the #1 guy at 140.
Based on what??? Him beating up Jr Middleweights???
Angel Garcia is the only trainer that can stir the emotional pot so well that he brings out the WORST in those who don't agree with his opinions...Angel is the only trainer who can control the room at a press conference without saying a word....listen to the press when he's introduced at pressers...they can't wait for him to hit somebody in the head with a few harsh words :lol1:
Angel for prez!! :boxing:
"he can't even speak English" sorry but thats very ignorant.....what about Martinez and Maidana? Never heard them speak a word in English, Angel has his funny moments, but needs to stop with this racist BS
Angel Garcia is just mad that GGG and Shiming are more well known and have accomplished way more than his son. Anyone who defends these rants are equally as ignorant.
