garcia777By Rocky Esposito: Typically, I do not get upset with the outcome of a fight. However, forgive me tonight. What a disgrace! What an absolute disgrace. I like WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Swift Garcia, (28-0, 16KO); I know he is only a fighter and not a judge, but he definitely lost this fight tonight to Mauricio Herrera (20-4) at the Coliseo Ruben Rodriguez, Bayamon, Puerto Rico. The judges scored the fight 114-114, 116-112, 116-112.

I am upset with Danny for this reason, how he can say that he won this fight is insane. Look at his face, and look at Herrera’s face. Look at Showtime’s overall stats. He lost this fight on my card, 116-113. And just to prove I am not insane, all of the Showtime commentators had Herrera winning. Angel Garcia, Danny’s father, says that he always speaks the truth. Well, he better admit his son loss. This was not some nail biting close fight. It was a somewhat close fight, but if you know Boxing, just a little, Herrera clearly won.

This is really what irritates me about the sport. How judges could rob this poor kid Mauricio Herrera is disgusting to me. Showtime’s commentators were trying right after the fight to post Power Punch stats to justify Danny’s win, but Pauly at least had the honesty to call it like it was. Besides, I do not know who calculates those punches, but look at Danny’s face, then look at Herrera’s. You then tell me who landed more power punches. Sad night for Boxing.
