Comments Thread For: M. Herrera: I Made The Fight, I Beat Danny Garcia!

[champion4ever]

So far, this bout was the robbery of the year. Herrera clearly outpointed Garcia and should've been awarded the decision and declared the new champion. Danny was exposed last night. His achilles heel is defensive fighters who could jab and implement good upper to lower body movement.

Additionally, Garcia was being constantly walked down and beaten to the punch by multiple Mauricio jabs, to which he had no answer to counter; Which helped off set his rhythm. At times Danny appeared off balance, frustrated and confused by the defensive style of Mauricio Herrera.

In closing, Garcia was a hype job waiting to happen. He would struggle against any technical boxer at 147 who gets off first, with a good defense or jab e.g. Floyd Mayweather, Jr. And Timothy Bradley or maybe even Keith Thurman who could also punch.

I get what you're saying about the "underdog did better than expected" thing. But people need to quit the whole "you can't win with the jab" ****. Of course you can, the jab is a punch. Boxing is scored on punches. Jabs and body punches count.

this isn't amatuer boxing, you have to take into account damage

garcia was landing lefts and rights(actual powershots, called powershots because they deal real damage and are the shots that ko people) while herrera for the most part was throwing no powershots, and just jabs, and im not saying it doesn't count, but herrera was taking punches, by the 6th he had a nice shiner on one of his eyes and swelling on the other

and he didn't throw or land nearly enough of those jabs that he would need to offset the number of powershots garcia was landing in return, esspcially not enough to take the rounds clearly enough to have people screaming robbery

so the only thing that's actually happening here, is peoples "high" on herrera's unexpected performance, the underdog syndrome

for the non spanish speaking peeps his nickname means "teacher" he sure as *** did take danny to school yesterday

Good post.....he taught him that mother****ers ain't sleeping on him anymore....he taught him that being THEE champ meant no nights or rounds off

Herrera did his thing....if the judges had given him the fight, I would've been tight but he made a damn good case for himself....do I think Swift won?!?....no doubt, the rounds were tricky, the right dude won imo but Herrera does have a case....it is what it is

what bull****. Hererra was landing his share of powershots. He was bouncing right hands of of Garcia's head all night. And that weak jab busted up Garcia's nose pretty good. Garcia's powershots were not hurting Herrera at all which if they were then that could make the case for a close decision.

Herrera dicated the pace, used better defense, landed a third of his jabs and landed enough powershots to be competitive in the power shot punch stat. He had Garcia backing up and confused on what to do. Most of all Herrera finished the fight strong by dominating the last rd. I would love to see the judges scorecards for the 12th rd.

were we watching the same fight? because i could've sworn it was danny on retreat mode several times with a bloody nose, swollen eyes and a look of disappointment. herrera fought at his own pace the entire fight and not once did danny stop him in his tracks with these damaging blows that you keep talking about.

maybe in the last couple of rounds

but powershots garcia definitely landed more, the only thing that made the rounds ridiculously close was herrera's poking jabs which came in abundance but like i said, not enough to have him win any round(except maybe 2) clearly, those jabs kept him from losing rd's lopsidingly, or just had him scraping rd's

and when herrera landed a powershot, garcia usually got him with one back, he almost always got him back except for very few occassions

[Foreign Soil]

Lol Danny landed very few "power shots". Practically everything he threw hit arms or strayed low. Herrera's face shows that - so did the actual footage of the fight.

yea, he got jabbed pretty good

herrera took alot of shots to the forehead/temple and cheek, still hurts, still scores, will still wobble you/ko you

floyd got jabbed vs cotto too, ooh, bloody nose

not saying garcia didn't take damage, but herrera clearly winning this fight or robbery?

dont even think herrera won, it was either a draw of a garcia win

[bojangles1987]

You did win the fight, Herrera.

[champion4ever]

Mauricio hurt Danny several times with those multiple jabs to the face; Especially in the last round. Moreover, he snapped his head back repeatedly with them; By busting him up and forcing him to retreat to the ropes.

In addition, Garcia was lost as he had no answer to counter or neutralize them. Therefore, he was reduced to just backing up and circling the ring in order to evade Herrera's punches. A fighter by many standards, who is not even considered a puncher and he did it mostly behind the jab.
