Comments Thread For: Analyzing the Danny Garcia-Lamont Peterson Scorecards

[Ravens Fan]

I really did not care who won the fight. With that said I find it rather bizarre that Garcia won five out of the first six rounds. And when Lamont settled down he proceeded to beat the snot out of Garcia.

Peterson lost deservedly. No need to beat a dead horse.

Man anyone calling this a gift for garcia is crazy this is as close to the wire as you can get and Peterson has only himself to blame for losing this one. Running and putty patting doesn't win the fights.

Maybe garcia wasn't landing completely flush all the time and hitting elbow then body but it still count more then the putty patt punches Peterson was throwing in the judges eyes. I had garcia wining by a point. But I could see it either way.. or more likely a draw is what I would of called it

I taught I taw a putty pat. I did, I did see a putty pat.
HA

But seriously, I agree. That track meet rounds 1-6 didn't do Peterson any good. He closed the show strong, but too late by that time. Like some are saying, rematch at 47 fine with me.

Oh crap! Somebody better call BoxRec and tell them Floyd Mayweather has about 25 losses.

Strange how the judges came to the exact same thinking and scored the same rounds as everyone else who scored it for Garcia.

Excessive movement and falling short with your punches don't bag you rounds. It was a close fight but to call it a robbery is a bit far.

I have no problem with anyone who scored it to Cheaterson, it was close but we seem to get this almost everytime a rather unlikeable or Al Hymen promoted fighter edges a fight. Its like people can't look past their dislike and give all the close rounds to the fighter they want to win.

I don't understand why people were scoring those early rounds for Peterson. Yes, he made Garcia miss, but he wasn't throwing or landing nearly enough to override Garcia's body punches, which were consistently landing. Just because Garcia looked bad doesn't mean he lost those rounds, he was the only one landing anything.

Can someone actually tell me what Garcia did in rounds 1 and 2?

Don't mention Peterson, he did little too. At least he threw jabs

In round 2 im pretty sure Garcia landed like 1 or 2 punches

I thought garcia won 6 out of the first 7. He was missing a lot but was also throwing more and landing more than Peterson. Peterson was soley trying to frustrate Garcia and make him miss, which he did but it also gave Garcia a chance to land some good power shots and strong jabs to the body. Whenever Garcia would corner Peterson, Peterson would try to dodge and wouldn't engage in return. I suggest you watch the fight again, Garcia did land a good number of clean and glancing punches too.

I totally agree. Peterson definitely won the first two rounds, even if it was the ugliest two rounds ever. Ineffective aggression is a deduction in the points system. Chasing in a straight line and missing does not give you the nod if the other guy controls the range, pace, and lands the cleaner shots. Even if those shots were "just" jabs.
