    This is just a perfect example of how much bigger a draw khan is.

    Personally I'm really interested in the fight and the winner has an argument as top dog. Problem is there's nothing to talk about till fight time.

    Maybe start a thread on the fight yourself?

      Might be the best fight this year! If Thurman wins in style, it would be his first real signature win. If Garcia wins he deserves to be up there P4P, something I never thought I'd say!...

        I'm not sure why you feel there is no hype for it? Is it because Angel stole the limelight from the fighters ?
        But this is a true fight fan's fight & it would be exciting for sure.. I can't wait for the fight

          Great fight! I'm stuck on who is going to win, I was thinking if it is a stoppage then Danny gets the victory and the decision to Thurman. I don't know cuz Thurman is the bigger man...Im stuck on this one.

            I think it has something to do with the excessive length of time between announcement and fight. Remember, this fight was announced back in October - it's incredibly difficult to keep up hype and momentum for this long. Inevitably, people have talked about it as much as they can - all that's left is just to damn fight.

              So you think Khan is a draw??

              I wonder why?

                Me too

                I lean on Thurman but Danny always finds a way

                Will be interesting as Danny has made no secret about his body attack. Likely will try and be aggressive.

                  Problem for me is that I don't find both guys to be exceptional talents but a lot of guys on this forum always try to hype up the WW to be this awesome division filled with the best talents.

                  I just don't see anything special with both fighters. Danny have slow feet, his hands aren't fast, his power seems medicore, and just doesn't seem that athletic. Both his offense and defense seems so average I'm just not a fan of him.

                  Thurman seems ok with power just cause as he moved up in competition he haven't knocked anyone out, has better footwork, and I think have faster hands than Garcia. He have a fan friendly style where he doesn't make the fight ugly by hugging and clinching too much but again I just don't see that he's a great talent.

                  I think Thurman will UD Garcia unless some ****** judges to happen because Garcia always get some iffy decisions just cause I don't see what Garcia does better then Thurman.

                    For me, this is the best match-up of the year thus far.

                      I hope Al decides to put fighters that have significant fights coming up in morning shows and evening news. Even jimmy Kimmel would be great.
