    Who beat Garcia better, Spence or Thurman?

    Analyzing both those fights, who had the better victory?

    Thurman handled Danny well, and PAC handled Thurman well.

    Any indication towards the Spence fight?

    Spence shut Danny down but Thurman took his 0. imo Danny was never the same after.

        I had Spence winning 118-110, and Thurman winning 115-113. Thurman vs Garcia was a better fight, but Spence won more clearly.

          I had Thurman/DSG a bit wider but it was definitely more competitive. The only rounds that Danny won vs Spence was mainly when he was taking them off towards the end of the fight and even those were close. Danny was close with Thurman and VERY close with Porter.

            Yeah, Danny vs Thurman if I recall was a split loss, and he lost to Porter by an MD. Spence is the only fight where no case at all could be made for Danny winning, even if you gave him every round that he had some success in. Spence showed to me that he has lost nothing as a boxer. It wasn't as good a fight as the other two, but that's because it was a fairly straightforward win.

              Thurman better win and more impactful back when Danny still had pride for having his "0". Thurman gave Danny a beatdown in the first half. By Thurman's admission, he said he just pretty much cruised for the second half of the fight because Danny doesn't do nothing.

              you know, Thurman could easily be a formidable fighter like Spence if he doesn't do some dumb**** like cruising in the Danny fight. Or by his admission, he wanted his fight with Porter to be like Ali vs Frazier, that's why he stayed on the ropes and kept trashtalking to Porter. Thurman is a dumbass who makes easy things harder than it is. Gifted with everything and all.

                Spence beat Garcia better, but Thurman beat the better version of Garcia.

                  I thought he got winded a bit late in the fight but that could have been due to being off for 14 months. I would have liked to see Danny land a few more clean punches but overall he did mainly look like his usual self. I don't think he is making weight properly though and may have over-trained last weight when he made weight over a week out before the fight. That could have impacted his performance late in the fight.

                  Thurman was kind of just trying to make the final bell and was moving around the ring like crazy the last three or four rounds. He let Danny back in the fight and made it into a close one, and one that he could have possibly even lost.

                  The Porter fight was even throughout. Porter was more active and Danny landed the cleaner shots. Wouldn't have complained one bit if Danny got the decision.

                    Spence easily. Thurman-Garcia was a close fight.
