If this kid works on his defence and his foot movement we might have a superstar on our hands. When was the last time we saw a counter puncher with that kind of power?
i still didnt see anything special about garcia... still slow and plodding... you see his hooks coming from a mile away... very stiff too.
but i did notice this kid was able to time judah... and when he opened up, he really unloaded on zab.
i think zab did great. i was surprised.
My analysis of Garcia is that he keeps his hands way to low, no head movement, no lateral movement, head too exposed when he throws, always open for the counter; he just makes too many mistakes. If he fights Matthysse, which I think he will, Lucas will KO Garcia in 10 or less. Zab is just old and doesnt have reflexes like he used to.
I'm disappointed that Garcia couldn't stop Judah
I was very surprised at all the stoppage predictions before the fight. Garcia had Judah hurt, so maybe he should have stopped him, but Judah's a durable guy. Outside of Khan and Tszyu, it's always taken a prolonged beating to stop him.
Dudes legit some people will just never give credit to some fighters....but he's shown that he's done what he's had to do every time people worry too much about th what ifs and should've could've bull**** instead of just seeing what's in reality...n reality is dude been winning and winning convincingly.
Maybe bc he keeps fighting older guys like mirales twice and judah. He needs to fight guys like matthyse of other top young talent.
Garcia is just good all around. He is tough,quick enough and calm in the ring. His patience might be his best attribute. Garcia is a tough fight for anyone.
Even if we assume Lucas beat Judah, He sure as hell didn't bust him and bloody him up like garcia did. So what does all that power mean if you can't get to the target?
The dude gets a beat down from Judah and now he should be favored over Mattysse?
So...... can we like smoke together or something??:trink26: Cause what ever it is that you're on is friggin riiight!!
The Corpse of Erik Morales and a Chinless Indian who almost got put to sleep by a past prime Former LW? Lol I just answered the thread stick to the script. Stop hating that's something females do get it together. Why hate ? the movement.
Danny has good timing with his punches, a very good chin, decent defense, but he is not "swift". He is not a counter puncher. His chin and toughness allows him to punch (exchange) with his opponent, or when his opponent is backing out after punching.
It's about time people start giving Danny a lil credit. I'm starting to think that Danny should be favored over the Mattysse/Peterson winner.

He's a boxer-puncher, he's not a counter puncher, he just tries to counter here and there
Hes more of a brawler/puncher than a boxer/puncher. He doesnt really box, he just throws power shots. Danny's flaw to his game is that he doesnt use a jab. I think adding a solid jab would be huge for him.
rigondeaux and donaire are two counter punchers with big punching power for their division...marquez also a counter puncher (now) with big punching power..

Counter Puncher?
The dude looked like George Foreman, just steadily winging LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT! One shot at a time.
Garcia, Speed and Overall Boxing Skills are being EXTREMELY UNDERRATED
Garcia showed he can cut the ring off, he is not some Flat Footed Face First Power Puncher/Brawler...Danny has BOXING SKILLS
Also HIS SHORT PUNCHES, the dude is able to generate so much Power with short punches so YES he is always going to win the exchanges because while his opponents are loading up their shots, Danny's punch has already landed...notice how he twist guy like Morales and Amir Khan when he dropped them...when that is because Morales and Khan was in the middle of loading up and throwing punches
Danny Garcia is the REAL DEAL, people can keep doubting this kid but he is going to keep winning at 140 IMO and a fight with Matthysse would be a Even Fight, Danny has a Chin and he is bring Power with him as well, but don't overlook Peterson, I know all the PEDS stuff or what not but Peterson is a tough scrappy dude...I think Peterson style would be more difficult for Garcia then Matthysse
Excellent post as usual. He's extremely underrated. He was matching Judah's handspeed. Something rarely seen in boxing.
