That's like Nigerians claiming Anthony Joshua just stop it Mexicans have a deep and rich history in the game you don't need to be doing that
Andy is legitimately a Mexican citizen though. His parents are both Mexican, which means that Andy is a citizen of both countries, USA and Mexico.
I'm a fan of both, but I think Spence takes it...probably by stoppage of some sort. He's a big dude compared to Porter.

I think people use the phrase incorrectly.
If they say you've got to beat the champ, it's because if the champ wins OR gets a draw, the champ continues being a champ. The only way to become a champion is to literally beat the champ and get a win over them. If you lose or draw, you get nothing.
How did he do anything illegal he said call us to get fights on DAZN exactly like hearn has said to numerous fighters. Hearn literally just did a video telling GGG and Charlo to come to DAZN. Charlo has a contract with haymon and GGG has a contract with K2. And there many more examples of him publically calling out fighters to reach out to him to get on DAZN just like Oscar just did. He didn't say call me to sign with Golden boy and break your Mayweather Promotions contract that would be illegal and tampering
Exactly this.
Oscar made it clear that he wants Tank to fight on DAZN, and never said anything about signing a contract with GBP or DAZN to do it. He's just extending an offer to Tank, and obviously, Ellerbe isn't a lawyer and thought he could make something out of nothing.
I noticed when Danny landed, but I can't recall from round to round too many clean Herrera punches that weren't jabs.
Not to say jabs don't count, they do. But when basically 3/4 of the punches you land clean are jabs, it's noticeable when the other guy lands his power shots.
It was a close fight. Even if you scored it for Herrera, it shouldn't be wide. Even Al after the fight said the "sho stats" were indicative of how close the fight was.
Such a close fight that the Showtime crew all scored it for Herrera. It wasn't a complete shutout, but Jesus, Danny blew it big time. He lost, but it happens to the best. However, it was undoubtedly a robbery. Two judges, both 116-112 in favor of Danny Garcia. I mean, with open-scoring, it's kind of hard to cover that **** up. The scorecards were essentially filled out before fight started.
Official scoring after 4 rounds: 38-38, 40-36 (Garcia), 39-37 (Garcia)
Official scoring after 8 rounds: 78-74 (Garcia), 77-75 (Garcia), 77-75 (Herrera)
Official score: 114-114, 116-112 (Garcia), 116-112 (Garcia)
Those scores are absolute garbage. Herrera could've done everything right, and STILL LOST the fight.
i wrote a poem for DSG
I'm coming home
Coming home
Tell the world I'm coming home
Let the judges, look away
While im being jabbed, all f*cking day
10/10, nominating for a Pulitzer.
He's not Puerto Rican. He's American. My German ancestor came here in the early 1600's. Am I German? No, I'm American.
If you are born and raised in America, you are American. I'm tired of this Mexican/Puerto Rican thing. If you think you are Mexican/Puerto Rican, then get the **** out of America.
I genuinely hope you're trolling and not completely stupid if you actually believe your situation is even remotely similar to that of Danny G's.
I had a draw. People are giving Herrera way too much credit for throwing meaningless punches in the clinch and basically landing jabs the whole fight.
Danny had the first round, and in the middle rounds there were a ton of close rounds where both guys were landing practically the same amount of punches, Danny with the harder and more meaningful ones.
The 10th and 11th rounds were Danny's IMO. The 12th was easily Herrera.
I had a draw. Danny landed the harder punches, while Herrera landed more often but with a lot of meaningless pitty patty punches while clinching or a lot of jabs.

Herrera threw meaningless punches tho.
Well, you can understand the message that he's trying to get across, but his Spanish is far from being fluent. He definitely lacks the vocabulary, clean transitions, but he does possess the "Puerto Rican" accent, or more appropriately, the general butchering of the "R" sound.
In sum, Danny Garcia's Spanish sounds to me, like Alfredo Angulo's English sounds to you. That's probably the most appropriate and relevant comparison I can make to help you understand.
All of the Box Nation guys had Garcia losing.
How did the Showtime crew have it? How about when they called the fight? Curious to know
All the Showtime crew had Herrera up on the fight I believe.
List of people that speak better Spanish than Danny Garcia:
Jimmy Lennon Jr.
Evgeny Gradovich
Paulie Malignaggi
Adrien Broner after Maidana
Anyone else?
This is what matters. More than anything. This isn't amateur boxing. Punch stats can help tell a story, but looking at them alone can be incredibly misleading and this fight is a huge example of that.
150 power punches is utterly absurd. Complete bull****. I'd say a maximum of those, maybe 60 or 70%, were blocked, ridden and slipped and yet people go on about it as it that fight was Garcia landing power punches all throughout and Herrera landing just jabs throughout.
When that happens as people are suggesting, its usually the jabbing guy getting hurt, busted up, and us seeing a clear comparison. That did not happen here.
Garcia just didn't land that much. He missed most of his shots, and whoever counted that stat was just missing that fact.
This isn't about power vs jabs. This was about one guy being effective and the other not. One guy fighting his fight, and the other not. One guy winning, pretty clearly, and the other losing.
Exactly. I can't understand how there are actually people defending Garcia's win when he clearly lost.
Man, he needs to focus on improving his boxing game and stop with the rapping. If he gives up on boxing entirely, I guarantee he'll be the guy asking people to "buy (his) mixtape."
