Mickey Garcia took the shortcut to win the tittle

the pressure salido was putting on him was getting pretty insane... it looked like salido was gaining the mental edge in the latter rounds, so i dont fault mikey for quitting.

but its just that, he did quit.

 

The difference is this broken nose was a result of a head butt. Just as if the head butt would of opened a gash that the doctor would of considered bad enough to stop the fight. Same here, the head butt put Mikey in an unfair position being that it didn't come via a punch.

 

Robert pulled the plug, Team Garcia was waaaaaay ahead on the cards.
Siri was getting his ass kicked the entire night.

The Butt was accidental... The stoppage was calculated.

 

It did look like he wanted out..... I wanted to see if Mikey had the paddle to sail away from the storm in deep waters.

 

atsch showed his Chicano roots atsch.

It showed how a corner consisting of a fighter's brother and father will be quick to protect their fight.

 

Dont turn it into a racist thing punk, Yes Mikey should have fought on he himself even said that during the post fight interview, and when a fighter says something like that, then you already know he could have continued.

Either way cut out the race baiting

 

I can't believe it!

I had my vcash on the over here and Burgos,and I had some real dough on the late Siri stoppage.(It was coming!)

This sport is a joke!

 

I know you were but your labeling Chicanos as quitters? get the **** out of here with that bull****, you do realize that Mexicans have quit to dont you including Mexican God, JCC, who quit on his stool against DLH :deal a Chicano

 

I was rooting for Siri but Mikey was playing around with him. He shouldn't have to fight with a broken nose that came from a butt, it would give an unfair advantage to Siri.

 

I heard Robert speak to and official and mention something about the scorecards to which Robert replied ok.Salido was going to get knocked out eventually.Salidos pressure and mikeys knowledge of salidos attacks would of eventually left salido laid out.

 

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 :deal

 

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.
