Comments Thread For: Garcia will put Saturday’s ugliness in welterweight rear view

[PR ESQ.]

Hopefully, Swift is chomping at the bit to unify against Lamont.
Shut the traps of these crying ass naysayers. Plain and simple.

This fight was very close. I had Garcia barely winning, but I can also see how it could have been ruled a draw. Additionally, Herrera could have won by a thin margin. Herrera was fast, and generally stayed too low for Garcia to catch him with his counter left hook. Danny has to develop further as a boxer, and not rely so heavily on counter-punching. A good boxer with speed will always give a pure counter-puncher problems.

This is a Joke? It has to be.

This is a Joke? It has to be.

It was written by this Lyle shill so you know it has to be a joke

I disagree the time is now. Is a Peterson fight worth risking if your already struggling with the weight?

I don't know how much this last fight has to do with weight(even tho you know they gonna try and spin it that way),as much as it was Herrera was a very difficult style..I just go off of momentum..Garcia wants to make a splash when he moves up..A win over Peterson could do just that,and he makes it even more clear that he owns the 140lb div..

I can't see him moving up and fighting Mayweather at this point..Pretty much any fight with a top 10 WW will be dangerous for him..Why not make it mean something and build that momentum..

Damn right he'll put it in his rear view, pretend like it never happened and run away from a rematch. Disgusting sport and it's paid for writers.

so go watch tennis, you woman.

not that tennis is a female sport, but, here

Only giving Herrera 4 rounds is pretty poor judging.

I can understand the 114-114 score by the one judge and by some members of the media, but Herrera really looked to win a lot of close but fairly clear rounds (think Bradley Marquez fight).

The only defense I keep hearing is that Garcia landed harder shots. Garcia didn't really land many clear quality shots though, meanwhile Herrera was landing clear jabs to the head and body, backing Garcia down, moving in and out, and tying him up well.

I certainly don't think the decision was rigged. I would imagine that crowd noise played a role in the judging, as is not uncommon in boxing scoring.

Champion bias/PR bias may have also played a role, who knows.

As for the lasting impact of this fight, I think Lyle represents one extreme view (doesn't matter being his opinion). If Garcia loses in the near future, none of this matters, but if he wins, this "win" will certainly be a small asterisk on his record, one that will fade as time goes on if he keeps winning.

Herrera was the perfect opponent to exploit Garcia. Garcia is not a jabber, nor is he good at walking someone down. The odd thing was that Herrera walked Garcia down in the second half of the fight, I guess Garcia was getting tired by then or just off, because that should've played right into his hands.

It's ****** when judges use sound of people not fighting to determine their score when they have the actual fight like 5 feet away from them
