Mexican Boxer Destroys American Fighter Wearing Trump Wall Shorts

In the super-featherweight matchup between American "Lightning" Rod Salka and Mexican boxer Francisco "El Bandido" Vargas, Salka decided to show up wearing some pret-ty Trumpian "America 1st" trunks with a brick wall pattern on them. Classic American subtlety.

The fight was held in Indio, California, and it's safe to say the 35-year-old Pennsylvania native wasn't in the most receptive company to his bullshit. But don't worry; Vargas, 33, did plenty of talking with his hands. Just watch him work Salka like a sack of white rice:

After Vargas (25-1-2, 18 KOs) dealt out a flurry of punches (112 landed to Salka's 75) for a solid six rounds, Salka (24-5, 4 KOs)—more important, his corner—ended up throwing in the towel. Safe to say Vargas knocked that wall right down.

Saw a fight in San Jose in 2002, one boxer had almost a superhero suit on, ribbons, tassels, glitter everywhere and the flashiest shoes I've even seen.

He pranced around and preened endlessly, it was a show all its own, HUGE lead up to the fight.

He took two punches, but he certainly was flashy and noticeable laying there unconscious.
