The undefeated Wbc and Wba light-Ww champion Danny Garcia entered this fight with a perfect boxing record of 30-0-0 (17 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.2 super lightweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Terence Crawford). He has defeated Rod Salka (=Garcia vs Salka) and Lamont Peterson in his last two bouts (=Garcia vs Peterson).

It’s indicative of the overall pitiful level of technical skills in the sport today when you have a limited, ordinary guy like Malignaggi as a former two division title holder and a guy like Garcia being touted as a “world class fighter”.
I actually get aggravated watching Garcia fight because literally every time he throws a left jab he drops his right hand down and away and raises his right elbow. I understand that no fighter is perfect and guys get tired and make mistakes but right from the opening bell we have a guy in Garcia who is supposed to be a “world class fighter” and “World champion” (one of 60+) who appears to be incapable of keeping his right hand in the proper defensive position when he throws his left jab.
Stfu u hating a*s. Have u seen that straight right ledt hook. All he need when u the world champ then talk. Tell the shut up and learn he is a power puncher.
You are not only incapable of formulation a coherent sentence but obviously have no idea what you are talking about or looking at.
Show me one boxing instructional book/dvd or any competent boxing teacher who says “When you throw the left jab make sure to drop your right hand down and away towards your hip so that the entire right side of your face and body is unprotected.”
You are a idiot.
John L sullivan has it dead to rights, both were absolutlely hopless.Maliganaggi only had a let tap which a fly on the wall wold survive, his right was dropped that low that he left himself totally exposed to Garcia’s right. He made Garcia look a hell of a
ot better than he actually is. As for the ammount of money being paid to both of these fighter- there should be a clause on the contract for non performance- dedict the dosh. This fight was a waste of electricity videoing it!
