ESPN puts Garcia/Salka fight on blast (MUST WATCH)

[joesaiditstrue]

Good video and good to hear that they will follow the incident!




It is impossible. When Herrera was chosen as his last opponent the fans had problems with that pick. And Herrera fought a good fight.
He had the balls to fight Matthysse but now it seems he wants to do some bull**** fights....

Haymon clearly is trying to create a "name" with Garcia, just like he did with Broner, this isn't surprising with Haymon's prior background in HipHop

He wants to create celebrities, and he has to preserve Garcia's 0 to do it

I'll give Garcia credit for fighting Matthysse and Broner credit for fighting Maidana, but one could argue that a fighter needs to take a risk at least once in a while to maintain their fanbase

It'll be interesting to see who Garcia fights after this, my guess is it won't be Peterson, it'll be a slight upgrade from Salka

LOL

They could of least build this up as a rocky type story

''the champ garcia giving a chance to a club fighter because its the amriacan way''

they could of called the event the american way

but no this is the haymon way...he has more then likey ask hot rod to take it easy on garcia.

i hope hot rod pulls off the upset then signs with top rank tbh

Well done team Garcia and Garcia himself .

Slap in the face to fans and fighters who are ranked.

This is why I ****ing LOVE Teddy Atlas.

So if Rob Seltzer pulls off the mammoth upset and scores a spectacular KO -- I'm talking Worldstars this motherf**ker -- where does that put Ron Selka on the P4P list?

[jaded]

Everybody should just boycott the fight.

I don't particularly like Teddy Atlas, but you can see and hear how much boxing's corruption and lack of credibility hurts him, and that's something I definitely relate with. I expect they're right, that Salka will end up rated somehow before the fight happens.
