Comments Thread For: Hector Garcia Drops, Shocks Chris Colbert To Win Decision in WBA Eliminator

[edgarg]

Hector Garcia capitalized on the opportunity of his lifetime Saturday night. The largely unknown underdog overwhelmed heavily favored 130-pound contender Chris Colbert en route to beating up the brash Brooklyn native and winning a 12-round unanimous decision in Showtime's main event from The Chelsea inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. Colbert (16-1, 6 KOs) never dealt well with the Dominican southpaw's pressure or body punching.

We've got that damned unside down scoring still with us. Why should we all have to stand on our heads to read it in proper order. The editor is C-R-A=Z-Y. "Change" doesn't mean "better".............

Is Colbert transgender?

Unbelievable that all three judges got it right

Colbert thought that he was going to have an easy night and got beaten up. Colbert didn't have an answer for Garcia's timing and half step back with a counter.

I also think this is what happens when you take an opponent on short notice. Posters forget all the work that goes on during camp to prepare for the scheduled opponent.

Frankly, more talented fighters than Colbert have gotten upset against opponents on short notice just like he did.

Those are the sorts of scores that Catterall should have been awarded against Taylor.

Colbert has style, but no heart.

Here we go again! Another arrogant NY fighter put in his place. I always enjoy when the ****y NY fighter gets beat from pillow to post although they recently robbed, Daniel Jacobs.

Garcia just never got the exposure and high profile competition previously to show his skills . He definitely has a good amateur pedigree. Colbert was classy in defeat , making no excuses. He just had zero answers for Garcia.
