Comments Thread For: Danny Garcia With Vicious KO of Salka in Two Rounds

[doom_specialist]

The fact that you're posting all of this nonsense simply shows a willingness to gloss over this corrupt behavior by those who take the fans money without a second thought. Find me a fight where a legend who was at the time the lineal champion of his division asking a fighter to come up two divisions to fight him in a one sided mismatch aired on premium cable.

Hint: you won't find it.

Fans don't have to pay for fights like this if they don't want to, and that's the fundamental flaw to your argument. I didn't watch this fight, and I'm not upset about it either. If a garbage card is put on, and you tune in/buy tickets, you're telling the promoter that it's OK to continue to do so. The most damage you can do to them to send a message is taking their money by not supporting it. After all of the years boxing has been alive, complaining has done nothing, and as such, I don't resort to it. I'm not "glossing over" corruption, I just don't get bent out of shape about it, because it's not gonna change anything if people continue to keep it alive.

As far as your question, mismatches have always been a part of boxing. Singling out the type of mismatch it was doesn't make it any more or less so. To actually answer the question though, Duran-Benitez was a mismatch. Though Benitez never challenged him directly, it still should have never happened.

He's not glossing over what you call corrupt behavior. He's acknowledging the corruption instead, citing business as the reason behind it. The priority of business isn't to put on the best fights. The priority is to make as much profit as possible.

And when and if the best fights are put on, it's once again only because of the high money involved. Oscar wants to do business with Top Rank, but Top Rank is not interested. Why split money with another promoter when you can keep the money all to yourself? That's business for you.

How the hell does Garcia try to act like a thug ? is he out robbing or murdering people ? its because he listens to rap music right ? Danny Garcia is a great champion and fights whoever is infront of him.

HAHAHA, Danny fights whoever He agrees will be in fornt of him.

Accepting corruption is no different to glossing it over. If more people decided to get "bent out of shape" over these cards they would stop.

So me not watching a fight is the same as me watching the fight and then getting mad? Now I know that putting money in the network's pocket is the same as me not watching it at all, as long as I make sure to get mad about it after it's over

I hear you bro but chavez sr fought guys like larry" who the *** are you" lacourseier on the holyfield/tyson 2 undercard that damn near hit 2 mill ppv buys...everybody fights bums from time to time like tyson amongst others... garcia beat the best in his division so i think he should earn a pass for this fight... next step peterson then hererra then move up, win or lose!

First of all Garcia fight a farce. Peterson fight a farce right along with it. Jacob wins a MIDDLEWEIGHT TITLE ? how many middleweight champions, and when I use the word champion..Jacobs I cringe, all these titles are a joke.

Bum or not that was a spectacular KO. Salka almost got decapitated.

Should be in discussion for KO of the Year.

[bojangles1987]

Just saw the KO on Reddit. Definitely got GARSHed.

No it shouldn't. You don't know what you're talking about. KOing some lightweight that no one knew before this fight should not be discussed as KO of the year.
