Danny Garcia vs. Victor Postol

[Rantcatrat]

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 too

I hate it when fighters say that, even if it's true. Maybe he didn't know who Herrera was either, until he lost to the guy If you're a world champion fighter, would it kill you to make yourself familiar with potential challengers in your weight class?

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

My only thought is shouldn't we find out who he's fighting next before we slate him too much?
If he's paying step aside money, that tells me that there's some good money on the table. In turn that tells me that he's gonna fight someone decent, so ok, it may be Peterson, whatever people think of him, at least that would be a unification. 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.
