Garcia vs Porter on Sept 8 for the vacant WBC welterweight belt

[Master]

Charles Martin is by far the worst HW champion of all time.

I did not realize he was on the undercard. Martin put on a spirited performance and round 10 was very exciting.

I had the fight a draw. I think that if someone deserved to win though, it was Porter. Hopefully he is honest when he says that he will fight Spence next and it will be an easy fight to make.

If Mikey Garcia wants to jump to welterweight, I think Danny Garcia is a good fight to start with. A legit fighter at the weight to see if he can hold his own.

For anyone who hasn't seen it yet:

I can’t think of a recent fight where a draw was more In order, neither guy deserved to lose that. Would like to see Mikey Garcia fight either of the two before Spence,would be a real acid test and indicator of whether the weight jump is realistic.

Why do people keep talking about Mikey Garcia fighting one of them, it makes no sense? The point of Spence/Garcia is that they want to fight this year or early next year.

Porter doesn’t want to fight until spring at the earliest. Garcia can’t get Loma so raise his profile now and try to get Loma later. Spence can’t get Porter now so try to raise his profile and get Porter in the spring to early summer.

Spence/Garcia is a convenient way to raise each’s profile, make some money and do it now. Waiting for a different fighter defeats the purpose.

Uhhh.. I think the logic would be that neither porter or Garcia are as good as Spence, and Mikey’s quite small to be jumping up that much in weight and also going in against a similar talent. I think you’re smart enough to have not posted that, but maybe your desire to antagonize everyone outweighs it often times?

How is it antagonistic to point out that people keep bringing up something that

1)won’t happen
And
2)doesn’t fit anyone’s goals

If Mikey Garcia is going to wait until spring/early summer to fight he should be targeting Loma
