Comments Thread For: Danny Garcia-Mauricio Herrera Eyed For Puerto Rico

[richardt]

Ricans are claiming Garcia.

Stop living in delusional dreamland and telling yourself a bunch of lies! "Claiming him" is one thing, but unconditional support is another. Don't think for ONE SECOND if he was fighting a native Puerto Rican that they would support him! They would turn their backs on him, treat him like the enemy, and drop him like a hot potato in ONE SECOND if he signed to fight a fighter from Puerto Rico! He will never be fully accepted for that reason and if you think otherwise, you are bullshting the sht out of yourself. Any talk about how he is embraced by Puerto Rico has ONE BIG serious flaw in it! He may be borrowed temporarily by people from Puerto Rico but he is not one of them, never has been, never will be. Don't think so? Just put him across the ring from a fighter from Puerto Rico and watch who they support! That's reality!

Ricans jump on every wagon they can get, it will probably be full.

I appreciate his efforts, but he's not rican, I like him as a fighter, he doesn't have to have certain type blood for anyone to like him, I just like a good fighter, has a mean hook.

Good move by GBP.

There is a huge problem with this "Danny is Puerto Rican like other Puerto Rican's" theory. It is NOT TRUE. Here is a simple wake up call to that: If he was fighting a Puerto Rican from the island, they would all be pulling for the islander and he would get the cold shoulder, guaranteed! Danny will get SOME support now against a non-islander but their support will be LIMITED and CONDITIONAL. VERY SIMPLE. He has to realize, their support for him has a big hole in it and they would turn cold FAST on him if he was fighting an Islander, that is why he will never get their complete devotion and unconditional support. That is the reality!!

Danny doesn't speak fluent spanish right? Or am I misinformed on that.

Should be a fight that raises Danny's profile 5 fold.

The promotion for Herrera will now focus on the win over Provodnikov. I have to wonder how Danny pushes out the biggest win of his career to go and drop a few levels to fight Herrera. This is definitely not a money fight, and the guy is a nobody without the name Provodnikov to back him up. I guess trying to change the game up with 2 promotions working together is the target here. This fight itself doesn't bring much pop.

Danny deserves to fight in front of his people now. I like the fact that he wants to fight in Puerto Rico, because a lot of ricans are saying there's no world champions there.

Well, he's the closest you'll come so you better embrace that.

Ricans are claiming Garcia, clowns here on boxingscene are the ones saying Danny is Puerto Rican so Puerto Rico has no champs. It's not us saying that. And if there's a few Ricans that aren't supporting Danny then **** them. Lol

This is all because a couple days ago Gabe Rosado came out saying "Puerto Rico loves me" blah, blah "The people in Puerto Rico have no champion right now, would you (Rosado) like to be their champion?" Garcia came to mind immediately and I know I saw Garcia doing interviews in Spanish. Also, what about Cotto? I mean, I know he don't got no belt right now, but damn! What a slap in the face! Cotto is still the #3 PPV name out there. WTF.

Wtf are u talking bout bro! Cotto is still the man for us but how can we mention Cotto when talking about Puerto Rican champions??? He doesn't haves belt bro. Nobody is dissing him.

And this coward's opponent has 3 losses in 20 fights. if he wants to take easy fight he can fight Paulie Malignaggi, but no he is real coward.

Get off his ****, you mad Lucas lost or something???

The only thing with Danny Garcia... I'm tired of how his dad walks around saying "HE'S THE BEST" .... then ****in' grab your balls and call out MAYWEATHER!!! ... ya didn't think so!

He's the best in his division!!! Pops never says Danny is the best fighter overall.

[newcastleking]

Herrera aint no tune up, the guy is a really good fighter with tons of heart. The kind of Mexican that can get an upset in Puerto Rico, again.

[daggum]

Danny just cleared a division, he deserves a tune up fight. And since he is PR only champion, I bet they are able to negotiate on the whole " him not being from PR" thing. He's probably learning Spanish as we speak, by the time 03/15 hits he'll be about as fluent as Pacquioa or at least know a few phrases to get him through an interview.

phrases like tony weeks me le dejó dar un golpe a lucas mientras se enredaba en las cuerdas, me gusta dar golpetazos a hombres abajo el cinturon, floyd mayweather esquiva a enanito que se llama pacquiao, solo cobré un millon de dolares por pelear contra un vago
