Comments Thread For: Thurman: My Power, Speed Will Rise Above Garcia's 'Swiftness'

[Graz]

Tough fight, close fight. My heart says Thurman but my mind says Garcia... Who should I listen to?

I think you should listen to your heart. Just keep thinking about the Herrara fight. Danny was definitely exposed in that fight and lost IMHO. Thurman is a bit more to handle than Herrara, so I have to go with Thurman on this one.

does anyone know where he got the nick name from ? he isnt at all swift. not in the fighting sense at least.

Yeah but Thurman doesn't fight like Herrera. Doesn't fight the way Peterson fought that night either. Danny looks bad when he's forced to lead, but when the opponent is coming to him he's a different fighter. Thurman's instinct will be to go to him.

Good point. But I have Thurman fighting at distance and counter countering Garcia.

Do you think Thurman can do that? I thought he got drawn into heavy exchanges with Porter too much for his own good. But that could have been as much about Porter being a bull as anything else.

Swift had trouble countering the dreaded Herrera.

Dude put Danny on the ropes at will.

He didn't really have a choice, Porter presses the action non-stop, Thurman couldn't use his legs to stay away from him because Porter has very quick feet himself and closes the gap quickly.

It would definitely be a bad idea for Thurman to get into exchanges with Garcia, that's Garcia's bread and butter. If Thurman fights patiently and forces Garcia to be the aggressor, he should win this fight with single counters. Because they're both natural counter-punchers, the aggressor in this fight will be at a disadvantage.

Way to go Graz! Good advice. The gut tells you things that the mind just twists up!

I said Thurman earlier, but I don't know. Thurman should be able to take this, but Danny also should be able to find a way. I know Thurman can crack but I think Garcia has the better one punch power. Yesterday was Thurman, today is Garcia, tomorrow, who knows! Wish it was this weekend!

Porter is way more athletic than Garcia. He cut down the ring on Thurman, Broner and Brook, none of whom are slouches.

Porter WILL find you if you yourself are not extremely athletic. What Porter does once he finds you is another matter.

A good chin beats power, timing nullifies speed. ITS RUNTIME!

yep, danny should forget about his defense and stop every thurman's punch with his face.

A washed up Judah had Swift all busted up.

Thurman is a natural WW....he got this.

We'll see about that, many thought "One Time" was gonna KO Porter and flatten Collazo but neither was anywhere true!

Thurman likes to leap in sometimes when he throws his jab, Swift will time and catch him to the body, he's very sneaky with his shots downstairs!

We'll be a great fight, Judah even that washed up version is 10x faster than Thurman and more experienced!

Collazo isn't as good as Danny is when it comes to attacking the body and he almost had Thurman calling uncle!

Porter isn't as well rounded as Swift neither as good with the timing and hooking!
