Rod Salka wears 'America 1st' wall shorts vs. Mexico's Francisco Vargas, loses
Rod Salka set out to make a political statement in his match against Mexico's Francisco Vargas at the Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, Calif. on Thursday night, entering the ring wearing wall-patterned trunks that read "America 1st."
It was Vargas who made the bigger statement, though, forcing the Pennsylvanian's corner to call a stoppage at the end of the sixth round.
