Garcia loses title on the scales.

[Silkeyjoe]

I like Mikey Garcia. He's a very personable young man, and an exciting boxer/puncher. But 2 pounds??!? WTF is that all about? He's taking a page out of Brandon Rios' book with that fiasco. Totally unprofessional and unacceptable.

Is this a trend from these young, Tex-Mex or Mexicali fighters?
I mean c'mon...... where's the discipline here?
It's a total lack of respect for the sport of boxing and its fans, who pay good money to see a professional boxing match between two professionals, at the agreed upon weight limit.
Not much more you can say about that.

TEX MEX thing? these guys r from Cali.. if a fighter comes in overweight, what's a venue supposed to do?... It's a fighter thing..not a mexican thing u jackass.

Why r Mexicans kicking the shit out of Puerto Ricans in big fights? must be a Tex Mex thing...

It is becoming a habit with fighters from this region, Garcia, Rios, Chavez. Apart from Purdy, I cant remember the last time a European fighter didnt make weight for a big fight. Did Hatton ever fail to make weight? I mean if he could make weight, anyone could.

oh..now it's a habit... alot of guys don't make weight, u know how stupid that sounds..."watch out,ur fighting one of those regional fighters"...lol.. u and Tito make a good couple... blind leading the dumb.

Yea a lot of people dont make weight. But Im talking about world title fights. I dont know stats at all but when Im hear about it it seems to be fighters from that region. I have no idea why you are getting so defensive. Im just saying it as I see it. Alvarez is another one. Thats 4 of the biggest boxers from the region who do it.
