    You might be right but Garcia has good timing, you gotta hand him that. And it works for him because he got solid chin.

    It's just a matter of time he'll pay for that left hand 'no look hook'.

        Swinging at the same time with your opponent is NOT counterpunching. If it was it wouldnt be called "counterpunching". If Garcia is a counterpuncher then what is Floyd? Floyd makes his opponents miss then strikes. That's counterpunching.

          hes not garbage, but he needs work, hes a good solid fighter, AND WHY DOES ANY HARD FIGHT A FIGHTER HAVE = EXSPOSED?????

            Fair assesment. Timing is something he's good at. Still wouldnt be considered counterpunching though.

              Lotta' Khan nuthuggers in here I see.

              Sure Garcia's last two opponents haven't been world beaters. But come on! The guy beat both Khan AND Matthysse in just over a year's period. Give the guy his props already! He's clearly the man at 140lbs. Is he a pure counterpuncher? WHO CARES?

              He has huge punching power, and quite frankly, I don't see anyone at 140lbs giving him a hard time.

              And for those calling for a Khan rematch? Do me a ****ing favor. Danny Garcia is Amir Khan's daddy. There's nothing left to prove there.

              Unless they offered him a TRUCKLOAD of money, what does it really do for Garcia to beat Khan again? He beat him so decisively the first time, there is absolutely no need for a rematch.

                Na, Khan gets knocked out again most likely. Poor punch resistance.

                  Throwing with your opponent can only be probable after your opponent has thrown, hence it's counter punching

                  It's not like one doesn't have to be selective in how one will throw with their opponent, if Garcia wasn't, he would have suffered many loses by now. That takes a lot of skill by the way.

                    Go watch the 1st 3 rounds of Khan - Garcia again, Khan was out boxing Garcia. If Khan could make a few adjustments in a rematch, a lot of people think he can beat Danny. It's not like Danny jumped on Khan from the opening bell and KO'd him. Just my opinion.

                      U should go rewatch it as well. That whole time Khan was throwing his flurries, Danny was barely missing on some crazy punches. He actually caught him on a few, just not the sweet spot. He was getting the timing down that whole time, and Khan had no idea. Danny's timing is world class. It's not something that u just luck into. I called it before the Khan fight and in the Khan fight he showed the world his #1 attribute. Boxing isn't checkers, it's chess. And Danny checkmated Khan without him even seeing it.
