Boxer Rod Salka Wore 'America 1st' Shorts Featuring Brick Wall Design Against Mexican Fighter, Lost
By Jason Lisk
Rod Salka, a 35-year-old super-featherweight, decided to make boxing great again in his match last night in California against Mexican boxer Francisco Vargas. Salka wore Donald Trump-inspired “America 1st” shorts that featured a brick wall pattern on them.
The decision to provide the equivalent of bulletin board material and motivation to Vargas did not work out for Salka. Vargas beat Salka into submission and he didn’t return for the seventh round.
