    I agree with Abel. His level of competition had a slight uptick and his KO,'s went down.

      That happens in a competitive division.

      Abel isn't one to talk....his best fighter is in a dead division,and unwilling to challenge himself.

        I respect Thurman and i like his attitude, but i dont think he is all that great as a boxer. Great athlete mind.

        I think Garcia is going to win that fight.

            Thurman is way better than Peterson...who had Danny all busted up.....as did shot Zab Judah and a featherfisted Herrera.

            Thurman got this.

            He's a full sized WW....not somebody that moved up.

              Yeah good points. I need to rewatch some fights and get a better idea. I just have it in my head that Garcia is a slightly more versatile, and better schooled fighter.

              Thurman is pretty erratic with his technique. But he is very explosive and unpredictable too. Really looking forward to the fight

                Watch the Peterson fight....I don't see how they gave to Danny.

                  Garcia fights to the level of his competition

                    Agree with Abel on this one. Ever since the level of competition Thurman has been facing, his KO's immediately dropped. Guerrero, Bundu and Porter were walking through Thurman's shots without any problem. The only fighter I would think that KO's Thurman is either Crawford or Khan, but other than that, there is no one else to think, but Errol Spence could be a candidate, he never fought a strong puncher before, always feather fisted C-level fighters, so he needs some fights before we can decide.
