Mickey Garcia took the shortcut to win the tittle

The kid is p4p material but you have seen other fighters with broken noses fight on

Haters gonna hate.

Actually that isnt hate, thats real talk! I was routing for Mikey to win and I am going to be honest he did take the shortcut, after all he said during the interview he should have continued

Seems like the garcias play it safe with mikey. If it was rios out there yhey wouldve sent him in for the knockout.

Big Garcia fan, but I have to admit, that was somewhat of a calculated and welcomed stoppage. Garcia was boxing beautifully, but there's no denying Salido was getting stronger and landing some hard overhand rights which Garcia didn't look like he had an answer for. I can understand why some are annoyed with the stoppage, but at the same time, it was a nasty headbutt which caused it. May be a bit harsh to expect a fighter to carry on after being debilitated by an illegal, all be it accidental, blow.

I kinda agree with that sentiment, but at the same time I don't blame him.

Can you imagine if Ortiz had pulled this?
He had an injury that genuinely warranted pulling out.With that snib,as has been mentioned elsewhere,he will always be open to breaking it.
Do you think Carl Froch(who has a similar,rudder-like honker) wou;ld have pulled out at the same stage?

if Victor Ortiz did this the forum would be singing a different tune

Hard to criticize Garcia after putting on a dominant performance.

Rest assured that Fossil Bob "the rematch king" Arum will use the dubious conclusion to justify a take 2.

Josecito broke Ortiz's jaw with his fist and not with his head. In other words, Ortiz got his jaw broke with a legal shot while Mikey got his nose broken with an illegal headbutt.

Clearly, people are missing the point here. The nose was broken from an illegal blow - period.

When Israel Vazquez had his nose broken by Marquez it was legitimate punch and, therefore, Vazquez retiring resulted in a win for Marquez.

Garcia basically had his nose twisted by a desperate and clumsy headbutt - not a punch.

Why should a Boxer risk a fight he has been dominating because of a foul?

I'll have to edit my post Bazooka.It looks as if I'm still discussing Ortiz when I talk about the big snout.

Victor would be destroyed for the same move,yet his last pull-out was far more legitimate and acceptable than this.
And fighters have carried on with far worse broken noses.One springs to mind and even though he did bow out,he took far worse punishment for far longer.
Clue;He lost to the most misunderstood and wrongly crucified fighter of recent times.

But I bet you his punishment came from legal shots. Right?
