I love how this thread has exactly proved my point. Pages upon pages of people who are b*tching about people seeing low blows and denying they even happened and getting offended by the idea that a guy Bernard freaking Hopkins helped prepare for this fight might have fought rough on purpose.

Yeah, there were a lot of low blows, and I thought quite a few were at very convenient times.

However, while it was Danny throwing them, it's still up to the ref to enforce the rules. If he doesn't do anything, Danny will keep throwing them because it gets him an easier win. Guys do what they can get away with, and if that involves some conveniently thrown low blows, they will keep doing it until the ref enforces the rules of the fight. That's what he's there for.

It's pretty clear though that Garcia was throwing some intentional shots and was going to keep doing it as long as he could get away with it. Anyone thinking that that last round low blow was an accident is ****ing daft. That was as intentional a low blow as I've ever seen. Up there with Hattons against Tszyu, Titos against Vargas.

Anyway, I'm not sure it made that much difference. They are very taxing though and he was hit with some pretty nasty ones. Whether it would have changed the outcome doesn't matter now as he also had the eye problem too. Still, it was a clear **** up by the ref and it really should have been payed a lot more attention. It wasn't on the level of Mares obviously, but it certainly helped swing the fight his way at some important times and that stuff shouldn't happen.

Punches on the belt are legal, but we all know warnings are issued to "keep your punches up" when they're landed. I'd have no problem with a few punches on the belt-line, but when they're landed in conjunction with several below the belt, on the cup, on the thighs, on the hips, I'd say they're part of a greater problem. The three or so that landed clean on the nuts don't seem like much taken by themselves, but let's not pretend that shots on the thighs, for instance, don't weaken a fighter.

What about shots to the ribs..Your talking like there were none of those,this is getting out of hand and flat out ridiculous..I'm sure if we look hard enough we'll see Matt's land some on Garcia hip and even low..There were even clashes of heads in this fight..It was a bit of a brawl in there with wild swinging..

Garcia had a better game plan and better tools,fouls had nothing to do with him winning this fight..That's my main point..

Rabbit punches are much much more dangerous than low blows.

Remember the movie Tap

Challenge!

Rabbit punches are legit in case your opponent is hugging excessively.

It was a good fight! If anyone thought it was a little to ruff then watch amatuer boxing, the pros are suposed to bring it to the edge!! Until your second warning comes its ALL good! Danny earned the win. Ray.

Excuse Garcia for fighting rough in a Prize Fight..LMAO,you've got to be kidding..

You are saying low blows were a part of Garcia's game plan..Which I'm not buying..The same way I'm not buying Rabbit punching was apart of Matt's game plan in his last three fights..Fair dues imo..

[CubanGuyNYC]

This,the low blows were not ok,they also was not part of Danny game plan..Low blows happen,the same way head butts holding etc etc and many other fouls happen during the course of a fight..People are taking this overboard cause they are looking for a reason to explain how Danny did this..

Instead of looking at the footwork and counter punching oh and combination punching..They look for this,and make a vid of it none the less..It's sad dude,I really don't know how ya can't see this..

I was let Mares have when he fouled Agbeko,believe me if this was anything close I would let Garcia have it as well..It was not tho,but this is where TS and many others are trying to take it..Which is not right my man,not right at all..

Danny Garcia fought a great fight. I've said this many times. He landed effective combinations, held when necessary and took a good shot. He even fouled well. Now, I'm not saying Garcia wouldn't have won without the low-blows -- in fact, I think he would've won anyway -- but that doesn't mean we should look the other way, just because Danny's arm was raised in victory.

Your boy got his ass whipped deal with it, he should have retaliated. This is a fight not a ****ing fencing match. Plus he was rabbit punching as usual but you don't want to mention that do you?
