Thurman beginning to realize DSG no push over.....
Be careful what you wish for. Thurman is beginning to realize the nuances of DSG in the ring and that's he's better than he thought. I also believe that Thurman was a little taken back at how quickly Garcia took the fight. When you call someone out and they are like ok let's do it with no hesitation, in the back of your mind even if you don't doubt yourself you will start to wonder like wow didn't expect that. Maybe he thinks he really can beat me. Onetime may not be worried but he's definitely concerned. Mental advantage DSG because even though Garcia is more proven Thurman has more to lose.
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.
I always enjoy Keith's analysis. He's the favorite, and rightfully so, but I expect this to be a tough fight. Garcia is sure of his identity as a fighter. He knows what he can do, and he does it well. Both are gonna be hit. Thurman hits harder. I think Garcia takes a better punch. It's gonna be interesting. Plus I got my ticket, so I'm extra excited! Should be a great atmosphere.
That's very observant of Thurman. It makes me think he's done the proper homework to take the decision here. Call him Run Time all you want but his movement can give Garcia fits. The last thing he should do is exchange consistently, because Garcia is excellent at anchoring in place and landing counters during exchanges.

I could've written that first paragraph myself. I've underestimated Danny in the past. He just doesn't look impressive at all. He's like that pitcher that throws nothing but junk, but no one can seem to hit. (Hope you get the baseball analogy.) Smart fighter. Poised. Makes the most of what he's got. Garcia is facing his best opponent to date. Very curious to see how this all unfolds. I've bet against Danny before and he's proven me wrong, but I've got to go with Thurman on this one.
