Comments Thread For: Roberto Garcia Scratched From Shawn Porter Fight?

forget the roberto garcia, headline for this article should be.... "Arreola's handlers are too ashamed of his obesity to televise his fight". Like come on man 262, dude should just stick to sitting on his couch eating Cheetos and gaming it instead of boxing.

@ at Areola's handlers saying he's too fat to be on TV.

Can you blame them? I mean from the camera crews having to switch to wider lenses just to fit him in the shots, to the production crew having to live blur Arreola's upper body as to not get in trouble with the censors. It'd be a logistical nightmare!

f.ukkin fat ass crybaby Arreola never fails to disappoint. NEVER.

Garcia needs to get healthy, it would be crazy to fight under the circumstances.

Garcia was not cleared to fight by the emergency physician who is treating him and is keeping him over night at a hospital near the Arena in Ontario.

wtf man? this sounds like some shady ass haymon shit. kinda strange that this happens the night before a fighter like garcia finally gets a break against a name fighter

[WESS]

I eat B12 tablets like nothing. This guy must have been injecting a serious amount of it.

What a bummer. Hopefully the Ecuadorian can make it a fight with such a short notice.

And 262 pounds??? Damn son..... Making James Tony look good.

Garcia/Porter was a mismatch from the start, people shouldn't be surprised when fights like this fall apart.

Umm, that's what he was doing in "training."

A couple more fights and he won't be able to make heavyweight.

Another Haymon conspirator I see ; Now Haymon has been officially blamed for the following
1) The disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa
2) The 911 catastrophe
3) The disappearance of planes over the Bermuda Triangle
4) The worldwide growing epidemic of sinkholes .
5) Helping Eric Snowden find diplomatic immunity in Russia .

Is there anything I missed ?

at 262, you gotta wonder what arreola is pushing when he's not in training. i dont get these guys. pro athletes eating themselves out of contention? it's offensive.

i think the paydays some of these guys are getting is ruining the 'sport' in more than one way. you got these guys making major paydays for easy fights, so they'll want big bucks to fight decent opposition. now you got fighters who wont even get in shape to fight tune-ups.

arreola and james toney (one of my all-time favorite fighters) might as well just fight each other and the winner gets one of those paper crowns burger king gives out with their kids meals.
