Comments Thread For: Thurman: I Don't See How Danny Garcia Fight Can Go Twelve

I don't know if that's sarcasm or not, but I was indeed going to ask for a round number and time if he insisted

Yes, bust nose and getting rocked are two different things. Most fighters will get hurt by a blow during a bout, but if they can just about mask it then it doesn't count as being rocked/on ***** street/spaghetti legs etc.
I'm glad you're as pedantic as I am. Such fine details are important.

I have an odd feeling Garcia is going to win!!! I already bet and lost against him x2. Garcia is the type of fighter who fights up and DOWN to the competition in front of him... Thurman is a sucker for the left body shot and that's Garcia's best punch.

[Shadoww702]

Thurman's power is overrated. Where did his power go? He was hitting Porter with some bombs when Porter was off balance and coming forward but couldn't drop him. Broner dropped Porter with one shot. Thurman stepped up in competition and his power suddenly disappeared.

I still can't get out my head seeing him walked down by Robert Guerrero??? I don't think Thurman even took more than 20 steps forward that whole fight and fought off his back foot the entire fight??? IT worked though so I guess if Rob was that ****** then it's on him.

Thurman has the speed and power advantage.Garcia is not hard to hit I can see Thurman knocking him out

And I can see Garcia catching him with a PERFECTLY not seen left hook to the body and putting Thurman in defense mode. The problem that right hook might be coming at the same time he's leaning in down for the body shot!!! A matter of inches could decide who wins that war...Or he can miss the right hook and Garcia sees that HUGE window in the right side of Thurmans body???

Thurman has the opportunity here !

Take it and beat the crap out of Garcia then brutally KO his asz !!

Make yer Mark !! Anything less puts you in the background

This fight has all the makings of being a tactical chess match. In order to save face, both camps are attempting to psyche the other out by implying a knockout win but in all actuality; Danny Garcia is more likely than not to out box Keith Thurman by sticking and moving and landing sharp counters and combination punches whenever One time rushes in.

There's no way in hell he stands and trade firepower with the naturally stronger and wider Keith Thurman. All that body punching talk is going out the window once that bell sounds. Which is a double edge sword for Garcia because it's his only chance of winning the fight. The reason why I say this is because if he chooses to fight off the back foot and not hurt or back Thurman up at some point in the fight by landing his counters and occasional combination punches, then he loses on points or even perhaps a stoppage due to Keith's high work rate.

The Porter fight proved that you have to fight Thurman and not out box him; Which made their bout a very close and intriguing one.

I disagree, the Porter fight proved what we already knew about Porter. A tough,but limited fighter that smothers his work. The only thing it taught us about Thurman is that his defense isn't as good against high level opposition and that he's still vulnerable to body shots. Chavez was able to time and outbox Thurman for long stretches of their fight, I think Garcia is more durable than Chavez.

What an interesting observation? While true, most boxing fans thought that the Porter/Thurman bout was a very close but clear decision victory for Keith Thurman or at best a draw. However, many of those same boxing fans had believed that the limited Shawn Porter actually won that fight. Well only time will reveal. No pun intended but for Garcia to be successful in this fight, then he is going to have to take some serious risks and not be so cautious by attempting to land only single clean punches at a time against Keith Thurman because he's definitely going to test him.

this fight will definitely go 12

Chaves has a better jab, right hand, speed and inside fighting skills than Danny. He has very short arms, so Thurman being aggressive played into his hands for the first 3 rounds.

Chaves is a very underrated fighter in general, he's by far Thurman's second best win.

I agree that Danny is more durable than Chaves, but Chaves has a better boxing brain, he's more skilled I believe.
