Comments Thread For: Keith Thurman Breaks Down Danny Garcia's 'No-Look Hook'

[Eff Pandas]

Too bad that at the end of this fight the loser will be called a bum or hype job around here.

Only by the dummies.

The hook opens up for Danny because he goes to the body first. A few rounds later then he throws that hook. Thurman figured that wrong. At times Danny tries to counter with it

Unfortunately that's the majority in NSB.

I'm surprised Garcia's not more of an underdog. Thurman has fought 147 or above his whole career. Garcia has fought 3x at 147, Danny's best work was a few years ago at 140.
Thurman moves well and he won't stand in front of Garcia. If he uses the same tactics as Peterson did vs Danny (without giving away the first half of the fight, lol) it should be a pretty easy night.

On thing is to know it and another is to be able to get out of the way once you get comfortable. Thurman is not a defensive Wizard he will get caught and so will Danny. The real test here will be who has the better chin and who goes to the Body more often.

All Thurman has to do is watch the Maurice Herrera vs Danny "Tropical Mexican " Garcia fight and that is the blueprint to defeating danny....I remember that fight....I had never heard of maurice so it was one of those days where I wanted to see someone get knocked out....I figured Danny will K.O. this maurice in a jiffy but to my surprise danny was given a gift hence Danny "Tropical Mexican " Garcia is called Danny "Gift"Garcia by the Scientists of the sweet science

Collazo WAS under-rated earlier in his career, but he was just as shot as Morales when he fought Thurman..... difference being Morales was elite at one point

Remember Morales gave Garcia lot of problems in the first fight. Kept catching Danny with a right hook (I believe). People tend to forget how close the first fight was because he stopped Morales in the second fight. Also, Collazo had somewhat of a surprise stoppage of Ortiz a few fights back. All I was trying to say was people tend to point out the disparity in resumes because of name recognition with Garcia's opponents. I think this a evenly matched fight regardless of resumes.

Danny Garcia is a very intelligent fighter. He's never been the strongest, fastest or the biggest puncher we've ever seen, yet somehow he always manage to find a way to win and this is what sets him apart from the rest of the competition. He has this uncanny ability to neutralize his opponent's strengths and then capitalize on their weaknesses.


However, One time is cut from another cloth. He is a boxing sage. He knows and anticipates all of this. There is nothing that Danny does that's going to catch him by surprise. He sounds very focused and prepared for this fight and won't make the mistake of underestimating him by being overly aggressive and reckless. He is taking this fight very seriously.

His father sees the fight very well and his instructions are usually on point

Thought this was obvious to everyone.

I remember how close that first fight was.

Collazo also recently stopped Sammy Vasquez.

My heart says Thurman clearly has the advantage, but my mind remembers that Danny has seemed to find a way before.
