Comments Thread For: Danny Garcia Has Very Rough Homecoming, Retains Belts

[hitking]

I'll reserve judgement until after I watch the replay tomorrow. I never judge fights while I'm watching live. Takes away from my enjoyment. But, all of my fight buddies had Herrera winning and I felt he was the more effective fighter.

That said, nothing unexpected happen tonight. All us FNF heads knew Herrera had a tricky style. And combine that with Danny being a bit overrated and likely overlooking Maurico a bit, and you have a recipe for what happen. This is what happens when a champion actually defends his title. Every fight isn't gonna be a superfight. But defending against different styles is tough and the reason why its tougher to actually hang in and defend a title instead of jumping weight taking on attractive names.

Now I am a huge Danny Garcia fan but he lost that fight by 2 rounds and at the very least it should have been a Draw that one score card was down right outrageous

What b.s. That was an 8-4 or 9-3 win for HERRERA, not Garcia. Geez, is EVERYTHING bought and paid for in Puerto Rico? If so, I want no part of it. And those punchstat numbers were b.s. No way it was close on connects. Garcia RARELY connected, except for some of the body shots. Showtime and Golden Boy definitely planned this one down to the letter. THIS is the kind of b.s. that has caused boxing WAY more harm than anything. The two 8-4 Garcia judges should be FIRED. I don't give a flying pile of horse dookie what anyone else thinks. I know what I saw. I saw a robbery.

Only one low IQ person on these boards had Garcia winning. But almost is bad as that was the I'm Coming Home song which is a lie because where do people think Garcia is going to wake up Monday morning?? One hint, it is not PR. I'm pretty certain Garcia did not pack all his belongings and bring them to his new home.

Herrera schooled danny in PR. What the shi*t garcia, what a fraud. Mayweather would've fcking traumatized this boy.

So can we all agree that Mauricio Herrera is the KING OF 140? Dude has wins over Ruslan Provodnikov and Danny Garcia now. GBP should throw Herrera a bone and let him take that I.B.F. strap from Lamont PEDerson.

Herrera is a ranked contender in this division and has has fought 3 top contenders and the champion. He clearly lost to Mayfield and Alvarado, Ruslan fight could have gone either way and he beat Garcia.

He's definitely a force in this division. One good thing about boxing is that his performance will be rewarded and he will be fighting for a title again pretty soon.

Also, the fcking crowd and atmosphere was weak. **** was forced as hell. no danny, nobody is cheering for this crap performance, you are a paper champ now! What a **** showing by GBP!

the judging was a joke and "showstats" was a total joke.

i lost a lot of respect for al bernstien since golden boy took over showtime, he's become such a company shill.


paulie keeps it real at showtime and roy jones keeps it real at hbo outside of them both channels have terrible commentators, just company fan boys. i'll give steve farhood props he keeps it real.

boxing is totally Fd up. corrupt on practically ever level. promoters, managers, judges, refs and even the people calling the fight most of the time.

it sickens me but you know what. i'll come back for more just like everybody else and they'll keep up the same bs because they can

mayweather vs garcia is more money than herrera vs anybody.

and we'll all buy that garbage fight and believe the fight, because we want to believe.

couldn't have said it any better. 100 percent what I think of boxing.

Martinez after seeing this might not let Cotto go past 4 rounds ,it's been very bad for Ricans the last couple of years. They should do a rematch in Mexico.
