Comments Thread For: "Fighting Words" - Angel Garcia to Blame, Though We Enabled Him

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

by David P. Greisman - The press conference was for the upcoming welterweight title unification bout between Keith Thurman and Danny Garcia. The headlines that came from it, however, weren't about the two fighters, but rather about one of the fighter's fathers. Angel Garcia, who trains former 140-pound champion and current 147-pound titleholder Danny, let loose a tirade that included a ******* of unrepeatable slurs - best described here as a variation of the N-word...

Crawford wasn't the first time either. Are we forgetting when he called Zab Judah the n-word?

It's pretty harsh but what can be done at the moment? What boxing commission is going to change it's by-laws and to what standard? I mean this is boxing.If a commission is going to look after a boxers feelings than shouldn't it also look after a boxers health and financial well being? I understand that wrong is wrong but you're asking the sport of boxing to be right? When has that ever happened?.I bet Benny Paret's family has hurt feelings because Emile Griffith held him up and beat him to death.Maybe we should kick Emile Griffith out of the hall of fame..No wait.Benny Paret called Emile Griffith a maricon and hurt his feelings so it was probably justified.

N word? Got to be kidding me. The meaning and "sting" of that-once-upon-a-time BAD SWEAR WORD....had been intelligently dissected long, long ago. Doesn't AT ALL mean same as before. Matter of fact//& even though these boxers using that in a WAR sort of way..yet just the same it's friendly word to use in modern.
No use to get bent out of shape.
Where this writer been?????

Trash talk exchanges should rarely happen between father and son's opponent. It should always be between fighters. If there's another father, then father vs father is okay like in the Guerrero vs Mayweather case.

I was really looking forward to the verbal sparks between Thurman and Swift in the presscon, but Angel always gets in the way. The bombastic Thurman I saw in the Garcia post fight interview was tamed. Angel stole the spotlight again.
