I'm rooting for Thurman but I'm going with Garica in a close fight

[IRONCHINHAGLER]

Agree with the statement "messy fight"...neither of these fighters engage alot on the inside and clinch alot. Won't come close to fight of the year stuff...Garcia gets another close decision.

Fight will be technical or pretty messy

I think Danny wins a tough fight. Thurman seems to go for early KOs but when his opponent is still standing he ends up back pedaling and trying to out box them. Could he outbox Danny if Danny is hitting him flush. Both Collazo and Guerrero had him fighting on his back feet after he couldn't KO them. And once Thurman gets hit with a good shot that hurts him, he backs off and retreats. Danny can take a punch and I just don't see how Thurman can KO him, if a KO happens it will be Thurman hitting the floor as he was been hurt by lesser fighters. Danny isn't Porter, Porter rushes in and smothers his own punches. They'll both hit each other but I just think Danny can take it more than Thurman.

Seems like people are split right down the middle, very 50-50

All the so called experts like all of us have opinions on who they like to win. I like Thurman dec late stoppage. Last few fights fought better opponents is natural welter bigger of the two. Moves better than Garcia. Herrera with 0 power outboxed Garcia and was robbed close decision. If Thurman moves when Garcia wants to fight and fights when Garcia is on the move I like him to catch Garcia coming in with power left hook counters like he caught porter. How experts say Garcia way better boxer where how? He was outboxed by Herrera and Peterson

Good spread across both guys. Seems to be a 50/50 fight on paper, but I wouldn't be surprised if Thurman overpowers Garcia or if Danny boxes his ears off.

[bronx7]

Trying to or does out box them who fought Guerrero in reverse holding him off but not easily and Peterson beat Garcia too much pressure and Herrera with clever boxing beat Garcia so Thurman boxed porter beat him not many others he had to box manhandled Guerrero Chaves etc

[bronx7]

So I'm looking for guys once Thurman couldn't hurt them he moved boxed insinuating ran. Porter he boxed didn't run hurt him numerous times with counter bombs. Quintana stopped, chaves stopped, karass, Diaz, collazo stopped who did he bicycle it to? Nobody bugging
