Comments Thread For: Danny Garcia vs. Keith Thurman - Predictions By Fighters, Trainers

[Bronx23]

Thurman by decision unless he gets caught by Danny. Thurman has been rocked and in trouble with Collazo and Soto karass. Danny on the other hand hasn't at least I can't recall him ever dazed, he got the better chin. He's been out boxed by khan herrera and peterson I think Thurman will do the same. I know the fight will be good I just hope there's no foolery on the scorecards for either guy.

It's a great fight and a difficult fight for both of them. But the arguments given out to support Danny just don't tie in with what I have seen. danny is quick? No not really. Sly and stealthy - yes. If he was so quick how come he was out boxed by peterson and Herrera neither of whom are outright speedsters. Porter is a very legit contender based off his fights with Brook, Thurman and Broner. He is no slouch but he was handled by Thurman.

Pundits aren't saying Danny is quick from what I've read. They are referring to his timing on his punches, which he has shown to be one of his best assets.

Also, to say Thurman man handled Porter is a huge exaggeration. He won a close fighter due to cleaner shots, but Porter was there all fight. If Porter didn't smother so much of his work, he probably would've gotten the W.

This fight has two top notch fighters in it. There's a reason these professional fighters and trainers are picking Garcia. I can see this fight going to either guy, just depends on tactics in the ring. Thurman nerds to be smart and stay on the outside and he should win running away, but something tells me he's going to engage more than he should and get into some trouble.

Zab Judah had him dazed but that's the only time I've seen Garcia dazed.

I think Thurman does have the power and speed to hurt Garcia so I wouldn't be surprised if Thurman wins by late TKO/KO.

And Khan until Khan's chin betrayed him. Matthyse is not known for his slickness. Peterson lost that fight by running too much. Last 5 rounds he beat up Garcia. Herrera - something like 75% of boxing correspondents thought he was robbed post fight. They polled them and that was how it came out. Must have asked some different correspondents this time.

I dont understand how people bring up Khan out boxing Garcia. The fight went 4 rounds. So people make a big deal about Khan out boxing him for two rounds until Garcia timed him and knocked him down in the 3rd and finished him in the 4th? Peterson was close fight and Peterson was huge weighing in at 165 lbs that night

Curious, why do people bring up Garcia being out boxed by Khan when the fight went 4 rounds and Danny dropped Khan in the 3rd and finished him in the 4th? So Khan out boxed him in the first 2 rounds of a 12th round fight. So its to say that a lot fighters who use the first few rounds to feel out their opponents are being out boxed?

I think thurman has beter movement and judging on garcias recent fights he's not looked so good.....tuff fight to call but im going with thurman by late stoppage or close points win....hard one to predict

[turnedup]

If Thurman doesn't get suckered into a shootout he wins, he could potentially frustrate Danny into walking into something. We saw it late in the Judah fight. Sneak in something behind the jab and Danny might take a spill. He leans ****s back his hook way too much when frustrated and if Thurman has the timing shhh could get really ugly...fast. Goes to the cards though unless one man rocks the shh out of the other and gets a premature stoppage.

Outside of a puncher's chance, I just don't see how Swift wins this fight because all the tangibles favor Keith Thurman. One time is the closest thing to the total package I've seen. He''s such a well rounded fighter who can make adjustments; Very flexible and versatile. Not only that but he has excellent boxing skills and good power too. Also, I believe that he's the hungrier of the two fighters. Danny is going to try to set up some traps by slowing down the pace with hopes of timing and countering Keith with something big coming in but it won't work. Thurman will anticipate this and won't make the same mistakes as the other prior opponents Danny Garcia has fought made.
