AMERICAN SUPER-FEATHERWEIGHT ROD Salka’s political statement backfired in spectacular circumstances last night when he was pummeled by Mexican Francisco Vargas.
The 35-year-old Salka took to the ring in California sporting USA-coloured trunks inspired by Donald Trump’s prospective border wall, with the message ‘America 1st’ embroidered across his waistband. He was distinctly second-best to ‘El Bandido’ Vargas, however, who broke him down and floored him before Salka’s corner pulled him out before the turn of the fight.
Salka’s wall-patterned shorts touched canvas in the fifth when the harder-hitting former WBC World featherweight champion battered him back towards a neutral corner.

The Pennsylvania native, bruised, bloodied and hurt, took further punishment a round later before his corner intervened, pulling him from the contest before the start of the seventh.

US boxer sporting Trump-inspired trunks gets battered by Mexican foe
