Comments Thread For: Danny Garcia-Rod Salka, Lamont Peterson-Santana Set

This is some bull****. The matchmakers are really letting us down. Jacobs/Fletcher is respectable, but the other two are trash. How did they manage to make a worse match-up than Broner/Molina? I didn't think they would stoop THIS low. 140lb is my favorite division and I've never heard of Rod Salka or Edgar Santana.

Who in the blue hell is Rod Salka? According to Boxrec, he's a lightweight who lost to Canelo's brother and is more feather-fisted than Paulie.

Showtime is going down the ****ter with Al Haymon running things. Also Danny Garcia sucks.

yah and you can guaranteed that danny is going to get paid 1million+ for this mismatch.

I'm waiting for the punch line and for them to admit is was just a joke. I thought Garcia was finally going "home", just like the song they kept playing, because Philly wasn't his real home......that lasted for what a week, lol. When most people say they are going home, they actually intend to stay there.

Looks like Santana's best win is Josesito Lopez.... 6 years ago

Danny, you should have taken the Mayweather fight.

I'm not sure this is answering questions about the future of Golden Boy the way that De La Hoya thinks it is. I don't consider dragging Rod Salka up from the lightweights, a high profile fight. Herrera must have worked a serious number on Danny for him to want this kind of pushover fight.

How can they say that this is a stacked card and keep a straight face. Wow this is just an all around horrible card and I gotta say that Danny Garcia just keeps getting worse and worse and more and more protected with each fight. This is just aweful, I hope nobody tunes in to watch to send them a message.

LOL, the BKB show in Vegas is looking better

And people were complaining about that because of the platform. Vera and Rosado is a good fight wherever it takes place. On the other hand, this card is a slap in the face. This is the only time where I'm actually looking forward to the ratings.
