    I agree.

    And I feel the same way about Anthony Dirrell. Get him away from Sakio Bika and I bet he gives a much more pleasing performance. He showed flashes of it at times anyway, when Bika wasn't smothering him.

      People tuned in to Garcia-Salka because it was considered a freak show.

        I've said for years, the black fan base is non existent, and there mostly all bandwagon fans anyway. These dudes aint loyal.

        Where all them broner fans go?
        Broner has done over a mil on Showtime. That's higher than just about everyone lately. Not sure why even bring him up.

          Bika and Dirrell would bore monks to tears. I'm sure that did nothing to help the card. But there's no reason to have not watched Figueroa and Brook/Porter. Those were 2 great matchups.

            for you to say that he was "over hyped in america" is a bold statement & a total joke...........
            I said he was overhyped on here

                I laffed. I really did.

                Boxing is ass backwards. They tune in to watch Salka but don't tune in to watch two of the top guys in the division.
