I don't think Garcia got enough credit for his new weapon...

[Butt stuff]

Garcia's new weapon is bringing average fighters up from 2-3 weight divisions below & then hammering the **** out of them. A very effective and devastating weapon.

I remember Garcia, didn't he used to fight a long ago?

ts makes a thread about a punch combination he noticed, and the punanis come out to pontificate about the ****ing fight like anyone brags about it being a shining example of what boxing should be about. it was a sham of a fight, wasn't the first won't be the last move, the **** on.

Thank you. It's not about the fight. Everyone knows the fight was trash.

Salka was ranked 77th in the division... You are really commending Garcia for "something new" against an opponent like that? He may as well have been in the gym hitting the heavy bag with that combination.

Those are the type of opponents you practice your new moves on. You don't go into the fight of your life and try to get cute. What's the problem?

a.k.a. throwing salsa at us, he threw salsa at us like it was a fkn food fight!

hey well at least he gave us a new word for this kind of shtt.. its SALSA time baby!

I don't really see anything majorly new there.

If he had some new great weapon and was confident in himself he wouldn't be picking on bums and refusing to fight at WW, or even JWW, just fighting at catchweights.

His two big wins, Garcia outweighed his opponents by quite a bit. He comes in around 160, while Khan was 147 and Lucas was 150.

At WW, his only advantage will be gone, and his reach already sucks, low work rate, his range is medium to close, but he's not really an inside fighter either. I think most of the top WWs beat him quite easily. I think he knows this.

I hope Peterson actually beats him, but I don't know if Peterson has the boxing skills, although he might. And the bigger concern is, he looked very soft against Lucas. Those hip testosterone implants that feed you steroids everyday make you an absolute beast apparently. It's meant to be incredibly effective.

Against Khan, his energy and strength on the inside was unreal. He looked more sticky than many of the greatest inside fighters. But, you take all that fake strength and energy away, Peterson is a lot more ordinary.

In the Salka fight he unleashed a new weapon and it's going to be his new bread and butter if he continues to use it.

It's a jab to the gut followed by a vicious left hook ALMOSTsimultaneously. He talked about it post fight.

I'm interested to see if it works on Peterson, and if Danny continues to use it.

It's a helluva 1,2.

Thoughts?

EDIT: Or was it a jab to the gut, right hook?

I suspect it was very difficult for Danny to throw at will against a smaller guy, who wasn't even ranked at the lightweight... Wait: I just found out that he's ranked at #48 at 135lb, by Boxrec.
