The fight is on.
The purse bid is now cancelled as they have reached an agreement. The date is TBA.
Edit: Fight is off for now, looks like Postol has been paid to step aside.

It's actually a dangerous fight for Garcia. Honestly, I think that Garcia's team is doing a poor job at picking opponents. Postol isn't bad and is a live dog in there. If Garcia wins, he probably won't get as much credit as he deserves.
Never heard of this fella.
Is Danny moving up in weight after this fight. He has been saying he would do so for a while. I haven't heard of this opponent either, what's his record. Danny won his last couple fights but hasn't looked great doing so.
Postol looked decent against aydin but looked to be lacking power, sooner or later Danny will have to fight someone with power again wtf...and apparently he's going to have a voluntary defense prior to facing postol, maybe the much anticipated rematch with rod salka. I have a feeling he might do his voluntary defense and just move on up to 147
Postol was paid step-aside money. Garcia will make a voluntary defense first. Perhaps against Lamont?
yea its pathetic. is it just me or is Dannys team turning him into a laughing stock? Loses to Herrera in a gimme fight, beats a nobody, avoids his mandatory. I really dont rate Garcia and believe someone like Postol could beat him. Looks like his team think so tooQuote:

No, he should at least know his mandatory or any threats.Quote:

Or it may be Broner, that I would love to see cos I reckon that would finish Broner off! Maybe even a rematch with Khan? ( no way would Khan take that, ha!)
One thing I will not stand for is if he fights a bullshit fight with Peterson at 1 or 2 pounds over the limit so nobody loses their titles. If that happens, I will be the first one to rip into Garcia!
Not surprised Garcia is going around Postol. The guy can fight and the risk vs reward factor is low. If Garcia can get a good pay day vs Peterson before moving up I'd be ok with it.

I agree. If he's facing Peterson in December than I understand the point of waiting on Postol. Peterson is arguably a tougher challenge anyway.Quote:
