Garcia stands the best chance out of any current active fighter to end his career with 100 wins. Thats his best chance at becoming a historical footnote.

[Shalafi]

Yea that does make a lot of sence actually especially since he already had loses on his record, I do know i will never bet on him though because once you take that route once it is easier to take that route again.

Troy Browning was the guys name right?

Yeah I remember that fight, I had just never heard of Garcia before, that was one of the oddest fights I've ever seen, that clearly looked fixed.

[Shalafi]

Is it just or was the ref holding his laughter after the KO? it could be the quality of the video but he looks like he's about to crack up like a "WTF???" laugh

I want to calculate the amount of work that ref did, find out what he was paid, and convert it into an hourly wage.

yes i felt the same way about the rahman/barrett pattycake fest.

i dont understand why he would toss an ESPN fight. maybe if it wasnt televised...

but the guy said he had to drop from like 207 to like 150..... maybe thats why

youd have to see the fight and you would understand.

he is saying all the right things because he knows throwing a fight is illegal and it takes a great excuse to justify what he did.

this is no exaggeration when i say that he was sticking his face out with his hands down and repeatedly letting troy browning hit him. He would let himself get hit without retaliation 15-20 times every round and giving them away left and right. He never even tried to punch so its not like he exhausted himself. He could have knocked the guy out at any point and he chose not to.

If you dont see why he threw the fight just consider that the guy was turned pro at 15 and forced to fight 10 times a year since, whenever and whereever his promotors sent him. He was probably getting a raw deal with his promotors keeping money from his first big TV bout and just said "**** This"

[ferocity]

Garcia was a -3000 favorite in that fight last year. He got paid betting on himself to lose. He had some promotional problems and he decided he knew a better way to make quick cash and to tell everyone "**** you" in the process.

So he got away with it? Damn, thats a big time "**** the system" move right there.

For those who missed it:

that ko will definetly get some boxing fans from cnn to tune into boxing

Yeah it was Browning, funny enough Browning then got a step up fight and very generous odds to fight against Delvin Rodriguez. I made some money off that fight knowing Browning didnt actually beat Garcia and had little to offer at 41 years old.

I remember his story on espn being an old boxer and a worker, Rodriguez beat him convincingly.

this babyface is like 21 and is 41-0. turned pro at 15.
keep an eye on him!

At first i thought i never heard of him but isn't his real name "Julio Cesar Garcia?"

I belive it is. And i remember hearing him lose and i was very surprised and now i know he in fact threw the fight.

He was promoted by Roberto Durans Promotional Company, don't know what happened with them that he'd throw the fight or if he's still with Durans company.

[Mr. Ryan]

You guys didnt see this?

Garcia knocked him out with the first punch he threw, a counter left hook 10 seconds into the fight. It was pretty spectacular.

That being said, I will never support Garcia, He threw a fight last year and i will never forget it.

I find it hard to believe that Garcia couldn't beat Browning when he was able to ice Medina with one punch.
