(Photo credit: Lucas Noonan/Premier Boxing Champions) By Gerardo Granados: After dominating a past prime TV Analyst Paul Malignaggi the question left to answer is if Danny Garcia will face a real challenge at 147 on his next bout. It’s true that Garcia was able to stop Malignaggi on the ninth round and dominated the full fight but it is also true that boxing purist and hardcore fight fans cannot be surprised and only a few casual fans should be deluded to think that this was a significant victory for Garcia´s record.
Unarguably Garcia has a marketable name and has been fortunate to have influential promoters behind him so Danny with ease could get a shot at IBF welter belt holder Kell Brook or WBO welter belt holder Tim Bradley. Some Casual fans could believe Garcia is the second coming of Tito Trinidad or Wilfred Benitez but nothing is farther from the truth. Not the less Danny took a big check worth 1.2 million notes so it is obvious that smart matchmaking allows more than one boxer to face low risk high reward opposition without the need to prove that they are deserving of a million notes purse.
