This Saturday's junior welterweight title fight between undefeated champion Danny Garcia and top contender Lucas Matthysse is a big enough bout to headline a pay-per-view card on its own, but it's of course been overshadowed by the headliner, Floyd Mayweather vs. Canelo Alvarez.

Sergio Garcia Makes Tiger Woods "Fried Chicken" Joke, Apologizes
For over a week now, we've had to talk about this weak golf "feud" between Sergio Garcia and Tiger Woods which started in 1999 and got heated, or at least slightly warm, a week and a half ago. Garcia hit a terrible shot on a par-5 second hole at The Players Championship, and blamed Woods for the mis...
The Tiger Woods-Sergio Garcia Slapfight Continues
Golf's longest-running feud reached new levels of cattiness on Monday.

Sergio Garcia Stirs Up The Ghosts And The Water
There's no shame in splashing short of TPC Sawgrass's iconic 17th, as Sergio Garcia did yesterday (twice!). Better players have found the drink in the past, and will in the future. But it's hard to beat Garcia's meltdown for pathos, because of history both ancient and recent....

When Sergio's Garcia errant shot got caught in a big ass tree today at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, he was basically screwed.
