He had Danny visibly hurt multiple times in the early rounds. Danny has a proven great chin and recovered.
Thurman's KOs have stopped because does not chase the knockout if his opponent survives the early rounds. This is his strategy in every fight. He goes hard in the beginning and if his opponent is still around, he eases off and boxes the rest of the fight. At that point he only goes for the KO if he thinks his opponent is hurt again.
The guy clearly has power. Danny was very worried about walking into his shots because of Thurman hurting him early.
I've seen Ray Leonard and Ali put guys down...then cruise once they realized the KO wasn't there.
Crawford was in the most important fight of his career and he fought SMART.No SENSE giving your opponent a chance to win.
Only a moron would risk a lead by going for the KO.
You have the fight won...why risk breaking your hand?......why risk getting headbutted and gashed?....why risk getting KTFO??
I bet if your Brother or son were out there....you'd want him to fight SMART and let the fans boo or cheer as they wish.
Garcia wasn't going anywhere....nor was Postal.
Boxing ain't a Rocky movie.

Garcias chin is pretty much iron. Thurman wanted to make him feel his power the first round and landed some bombs and stunned him a little bit but I think after the first 2 or 3 rounds realized the KO isnt happening after seeing garcia take his shots and landing his own counters when thurman was wreckless, so he changed it up and boxed the rest of the fight.
Yea Pacquiao , the aging atg, now 38, the former featherweight... umm flyweight,..." hasn't knocked out someone since '09...he must have been on peds! ....lol ..Meanwhile, a 'prime' Thurman stepped up the competition against Porter and Garcia,.. and no KO's.
Truth is... it's a lot more difficult to knockout top 10 competition.
thats not what happened with pac at all though. Pac stopped hatton, dlh, cotto and damn near margo (his corner should have stopped it with that busted eye for sure).
now he cant even stop rios, algeri or vargas level opponents.

He's got good power but he's not the KO puncher he was made out to be also could have to do with his switch to being more of a boxer/mover since he's gotten to the top of the division
