    It was a 3 time lucky shot, Danny never talked about a rematch, he knows, he knows...

      I don't think he has anything to be ashamed of. Regardless of how he got the title fight, some fighters never get to say they even fought a world champion in their career. Salka got the chance at a title and got paid a career high I'm sure. And let's be honest, right before he got laid out he was beating his chest, he was excited to be in the ring.

      But you have to criticize Danny for that fight, even the WBC/WBA. How could they sanction that title fight? It should of been a 10 round fight off of Showtime, maybe on ESPN. Or even off television...

        I'm 5'10, 144lbs of mainly muscle & bone w/ 68in reach. Practically 0 real world boxing experience outside of shadow. I'm confident (or ****y) enough to believe that I could out point Salsa.
        I mean, even if I completely suck somehow, I could always potshot & keep moving.

        Salsa tastes pretty good doe. With tostitos.

          The man is a f#cking legend around these parts and he just recently fought and won the bout for his hometown's supremacy. Salka always comes to fight and I damn good at.

            This is how I know you've had no bouts. I've had four and I still "freeze" up against the top amateurs sparring let alone actual bouts. No offence but Salka would whoop you, hes not a bum with an equal ratio of losses to wins, he has a winning record an holds an actual belt even if is minor. To clarify I dont like the guy but Im giving him his dues.

              I already stated that I had no experience. And not everybody freezes up or gets nervous in a fighting situation. Some people remain calm under pressure.
              I wasn't aware that he held a belt at LW. I'll give him his due there. But what does he do that's special that I wouldn't be able to do even better?

                Salka is a truly underrated fighter. I think the #77 ranking is completely unfair. He is more of a top #10-15 lightweight imo.

                He has superb boxing skill, great heart, underrated power, and speed. I think he has great potential to win a world title one day.

                  He's the WBC FECARBOX 135 champion. How many boxers can say that?

                    Again, I mean no disrespect bur he fights for a living and he has a winning record for a reason. Watch his most recen bout vs clay, he did alright.

                      Obvious troll is obvious. I've had 57 bouts, winning 46 of them and I've still had some big problems when I've sparred pro's that are around Salka's level. Honestly if you're not trolling then it's laughable that you think you'd last 2 minutes in the ring even with any reasonable amateur given that you have no experience, unless you're the next Roy Jones.
