Comments Thread For: Danny Garcia contemplates retiring from boxing after defeat to Erislandy Lara

[BrankoB]

He never expected that last punch. It did a lot of damage and seems to short circuit his brain.

30 seconds before the final punch there was a good 1-2 from Lara that really hurt Danny. That is what caused the real damage. The last punch just finished him off when he was already hurt. That is why it did not make sense that he went down.

As boxing fans, we need tp put our foot down, together as paying customers, DO NOT buy a PPV, to stop this BS. D. Garcia should not retire, give it one more shot, take your training to the Canela camp, get some of those magic tacos and let's see difference. Via Canela, the GREATESTTTTTT of ALLLLL TIMEEEEE.

I think that it would be best that he did retire. The bum didn’t show up to win. He just showed up to collect a payday.

I don’t know what it is about random Cheeto face dusted, pimple faced, belly belt busting keyboard slobs calling another man who makes his living getting pounded to the face and body a “bum.” These pros literally put their lives on the line; even in sparring so even internet trolls can enjoy lavish entertainment. Yet, you call a pro boxer a “bum.” Enlighten the forum commando, what gives you the right to call any pro boxer a “bum?”

It looked like Lara had figured Garcia out. It was going to be all downhill for Danny after that knock down. TBH I feel like Lara could have done that way earlier in the fight

Who do you think will be going after Lara's title now within the PBC compound? Nobody?

Danny looked like he didn’t wanna be there. Hang ‘em up.

Well you are correct. The word bum is a bit harsh. Also, it’s an opinion and not a fact. Therefore, I do apologize. . He’s not a bum but he definitely fought like one against an aging and diminished fighter.

Also, let us not forget that Lara was 41 years old, several years past his prime and a handpicked opponent who was forced to fight at a catchweight also. Therefore, the deck was heavily stacked against him.

Team Garcia selected Lara because they underestimated him due to his advanced.age and declining skills. You can get mad all you want.

However, no one forced Danny Garcia to take this fight. He took it because Lara is typically the type of opponent that he usually likes to fight.

Someone whom he perceives as old, shot, diminished, shopworn and past their prime. In other words, Team Garcia gambled and lost.

They thought Lara would be an easy opponent but it in fact; It was actually Danny Garcia who was an easy opponent for Erislandy Lara.

He didn't come out of retirement for this fight?

Don't even know what's in Garcia's mind calling out for the Lara fight. The Cuban is the ultimate hit and run opponent. He's not Matthysse who would stay in your face throughout the entire fight. Fans have to have patience watching Lara fight. He jumps backward with any slightest movement of his opponent. It's impossible to reach him. He doesn't engage to give you the fight you want. Lucky for him he gets his yearly pension doing the same boring thing over and over again. Makes his wife happy.
