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

    If there was ever a good time to attempt to work on some new things it would have been that fight, so I don't think TS is wrong for looking for some nuance even in a crap fight. A lot of people thought he lost his previous fight so I'd hope he would have gone into that fight trying to work on some of his issues.

    Personally, I wanted to see him work on an uppercut in the Salka fight and I don't think he did that. I think that is the missing punch in his arsenal and it's one of the reasons why Herrera was able to come in on him so easily. But I'm just some guy....Perhaps they think straight shots to the body will be what is best to maintain the distance he likes either way at least they seem to acknowledge the problem

    I think he is going to have similar issues with Peterson getting under him on in the inside.

          LOL you're cool man, you only log into this account when you want to trash Garcia. Why not trash him on your main account like a man?

          Anyhow, I start to take a liking to fighters everyone hates so you guys are turning me into a Garcia fan slowly but surely...

          Also, I like how we strayed so far off topic. You guys made this about the Salka fight. When it almost has nothing to do with the Salka fight.

            well that's stretching it a bit considering the only fight it has anything to do with is the Salka fight.

              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?

              It was a jab to he body followed by a right hook.

                I understand that. But I was talking about a specific thing in that fight. It's like I tell you about a cool pair of Jordans I like at footlocker and you keep telling me how much you hate Footlocker. Just focus on the damn Jordans!

                  The point is, with the level of opponent like Salka, garcia could do whatever he wanted with him, you might even say he was reckless in parts. I can bet you any money he has far more skilled sparring partners on which to work on technique with. So no that negates any improvements, that's like saying Pacmans KO power is back if he KO'd a 77th ranked lightweight

                      If you watch me against a 50 lb punching bag, I guarantee you'd think I were the next Bruce Lee.
