Comments Thread For: Thurman Trashes Garcia's Opposition: Nothing 'Swift' About It!

[alexguiness]

Truth might hurt a bit here...

Danny's resume is much better than Thurman's.

Styles make fights. Porter is much more athletic than Garcia and was able to get in Thurman's face but then wasn't able to much - he slapped more than do effective work.

This should be an easy fight fo rThurman. He just needs to win the first 6 rounds say 4-2 or preferably 5-1 by stick and move and lateral movement like Peterson and Khan. I'm assuming Thurman has a tougher chin than Khan, I mean, could it be the same or worse?

Garcia would be forced to rush in to either win rounds or go for a tko/ko. Doing so will mean his offence is less effective and also leaves himself open to precision counters that Thurman showed against Porter.

Garcia is a patient fighter If Thurman can a build an early lead that would take Garcia out his comfort zone

Wasn't PPV, so I can't complain.

So all mismatches are ok as long as its not ppv?

It's a tune up, so yea, it's ok.

Thruman's resume is weak compared to Danny's. And it could be said a prime Matthysse would give Thruman fits. Swift IMO will systematically break Thruman down with body shots for either a solid UD or late stoppage.

Yeah, and IMO all the Danny hate needs to stop anyway. The fight is signed, Swift definitely wants the fight, I think more than Thruman does actually.

Guess I missed where Thurman said his resume was better than Garcia's, oh no I didn't, because he didn't compare they're resumes. Let's be real about something, fighters who look beatable get fights. Garcia looks beatable often, and as a result he got opportunities that were not afforded to Thurman. Lest we forget that Garcia got the Khan fight because they thought Garcia was a stay busy opponent. Remember Maidana agreed to fight Thurman, then pulled out after his team saw footage of a Thurman fight, that would never happen to Garcia. I'm a fan of both, but Thurman has been chasing big fights and big names for a while now. He stalked Malignaggi when he still had something left, he called out Broner, Bradley, Pac, Berto, Khan, Mayweather, he chased Porter before Porter lost to Brook, He offered to go to the UK to fight Brook, he hasn't talked about money once. I really don't understand the hate for Thurman, he has showed a willingness to lose and can not be blamed for people refusing to even negotiate with him.

Damn... Good points

[LoadedWraps]

Keith Thurman had criticized Danny Garcia's choice of opposition before, deriding Garcia as a "cherry picker" for facing Samuel Vargas. Then Thurman sat ringside to watch Garcia take out Vargas with a seventh-round technical knockout, setting up a March clash that will take place on CBS or Showtime.

Nothing but the truth here.

Gifts, cans, journeymen, and one legit win (Lucas).
