Thurman nullifies all that simply by using movement. Unless Danny learns how to cut off the ring, the result is the same.
When Thurman committed himself to movement, he wasn't able to land much of anything, Garcia kept pushing forward, and Danny Garcia was picking up the rounds.
Lamont Peterson used movement to end up losing 6 straight rounds.
Danny Garcia walks into the rematch knowing that he can take Thurman's punch, and Thurman walks into the rematch knowing that Danny Garcia can take his punch.
Once everyone understands that, the rematch is dueling pistols (once Danny's body shots get Thurman to set his feet) for the full 12. Another competitive and close fight, likely ending with someone winning 7-5.
Danny gets on those couter hook combinations earlier, and the fight gets even more competitive.

Since when did this Swift family became interested in rematches? Khan has been asking for a rematch for years. And this is the same Khan Hearn and Brook see as a walking $$$$.
Swift family would rather fight another Salka. Angel is lying.
You guys saying that Danny just needs to be more active...easier said than done. I mean yeah it seems simple -- just be more active, right?
But that's how Danny fights. His style isn't tailored to "being busy". It's not who he is and how he fights. So to think that a trainer change of some overnight revelation is all it's going to take for him to all of a sudden become a busier fighter is highly, highly unlikely.
He's almost 30 now and is what, 34 fights into his professional career? He is what he is.
You post on a boxing forum. We are boxing nerds here. There are maybe 100,000 of us in the US at most. Some guys on here even watch Rigo fights. So of course you would watch it again on CBS.
But the majority of people, would rather Thurman face someone different in an exciting match up: Brook, Spence, Manny, Crawford, even Broner would make more sense.
Yea it would but doesn't mean boxing fans would not watch again. I defiantly would. Yeah Thurman won the fight but he was not dominate because he ran like a chicken shis at the end.
Simple I would like to see it again to see if Danny would cut off the ring or try and fight inside.
I enjoyed the fight until Thurmans Corner gave him the worst advise of all.
I highly doubt they've agreed to a rematch already. Maybe a non-binding verbal agreement at best.
Beyond all that what difference does it make? What does Danny do differently in a rematch that gets him the win? All I can think is he fights closer to Philly & gets more Danny friendly judges. I saw very little adjusting by Danny to deal with what Thurman was bringing & if Thurman hadn't tried his best ODLH vs Tito impression in the last couple rounds the fight wouldn't have even been a split decision. Danny needs a trainer who can get him to make tactical changes in a fight or take risks to win when things aren't going well like last Saturday. I don't believe Angel in the corner offers that & I'm an Angel fan, but he's never seemed like the best trainer & alls well & good as long as you're winning. Once you lose you need to figure out how you can get better & one obvious move is a more experienced & seasoned trainer in the corner.

The first fight did not provide me with enough entertainment to warrant a rematch, or was it close enough. It was one guy showing that he is a better boxer overall based on the criteria it takes to score a round in boxing.
Now if you throw them in a small pit where Thurman can't dance around as easily, this would be a all out war. A great fight, then.
I said before the fight Thurman's style was all wrong for him and a rematch would be no different. Danny just isn't active enough to beat Thurman and doesn't match up well with a lot of top guys at 147.
It's so funny when a fighter gets clearly beaten and screams for a rematch. This was one of if not the biggest fights in Garcia's career; a chance to be the first PR JWW champ to move up & unify the WW division. It's like he 's saying, "I wasn't ready for this huge fight this time around, but give me a rematch, and boy, I'll be ready then!!"

problems before even thinking of a Thurman rematch.
It did good ratings so I can see a commercial argument. Hardcore fans won't like it though. Nor will the press. Cards were way closer than the fight.
The flipside is that if Thurman is going to be fighting some fringe guy next, then what's there to lose?
Actually it does. I would watch it again on CBS.

Thurman out brawled and outboxed Danny. clear victory. f*ck a rematch. get to the back of the line and start over. Keith needs to move on. Danny didn't give Herrera a rematch.
