Erik Morales vs. Danny Garcia Jan 28th ?

RingTV.com has learned that WBC 140-pound beltholder Erik Morales, of Mexico, could face Philadelphia's Danny Garcia Jan. 28 on HBO, with the co-feature matching THE RING's No. 5-rated junior middleweight Carlos Molina opposite RING No. 6-rated counterpart James Kirkland.

Morales (52-7, 36 KOs), THE RING No. 7-rated junior welterweight, has won four belts over as many different weight classes, the first Mexican to do so. Garcia (22-0, 14 KOs), rated No. 9 by THE RING, is coming off a unanimous decision over former titleholder Kendall Holt in October.

Kirkland (30-1, 27 KOs), THE RING's No. 6-rated junior middleweight, is coming off an HBO-televised sixth-round knockout of Alfredo Angulo (20-2, 17 KOs) in Cancun, Mexico, on Nov. 5.

Molina (19-4-2, 6 KOs) has an unbeaten streak of 11-0-1 with two knockouts that includes having sandwiched a victory over two-time welterweight beltwinner Kermit Cintron (33-5-1, 28 KOs) in July and a draw with then-unbeaten southpaw Erislandy Lara (15-1-1, 10 KOs) in March around a seventh-round stoppage of Allen Conyers in April.

The run also includes a unanimous decision over welterweight contender Ed Paredes (27-3-1, 17 KOs) in April of 2009. Early on, Molina battled through a draw, and, a six-round majority decision loss to current WBC middleweight beltholder Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (43-0-1, 30 KOs) in December of 2005 and 2006, respectively.

So Maidana isn't too big for Morales but Garcia is? That doesn't make any sense. I'm not sure how this fight will look but I'll take Garcia.
