You have to be disappointed with Danny, not with Keith.

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

That's how they are. They probably grew up watching Tyson fights. So they don't appreciate the other aspects of boxing.

lol... You have outdated me and yourself... I grew up on mike.. anybody under 25 probably never saw him.. Ear bite was 20 damn years ago... crazy how time flies

Also this. This new breed of fight fans are the freaking worst. They complain about every damn thing, and always find a way to ruin an event, or to discredit someone. Haven't spent a day sweating with the fighters, but the quickest ones to talk ish about the fight, and the fighters.

Their first fight ever was probably Vargas vs Miura and became fans of the sport then so now they expect everything to be you club me and I club you type fight.

I was pulling for Danny but he fought scared. He said it after the fight. Keith was countering better than him. Angel Garcia didn't help either. He told his son on the last rounds: "he's running, he aint gonna win like that". Yes, Thurman was running, but he was like 7-3 ahead, Garcia needed a KO or at least one KD, he needed to go all in, and he didn't.

Combination of fighting scared + bad advice from his corner, and Danny didn't do what he had to do. Take risks, engage, get closer to Keith, throw bombs and hope to make damage.

As a result, he lost. He could have lost even worse if he risked, I know, but he had already lost by the 10th, he needed to go for the KO and I think maybe he could have made it.

So I understand the boos from the crowd. I felt bored a few times during the fight. But still Keith was landing more. It was close, but most of the rounds Keith landed more. He did what he needed to do, he boxed better.

I don't think he was scared he took Keith's shots good
Danny just isn't mobile or able to cut off the ring
That's. Why he does good at Counter punching

[FrankieClutch]

All throughout the fight I kept saying that Danny was timid. He never seemed loose in there. Keith controlled the distance very well, my only problem was that he didn't close the show

Another idiot who can't read.

You just not a boxing fan, it's ok. Youll be out of here, when GGG gets exposed or gets old.

Thurman fights like a semi hoe so I stopped watching him few years ago.

*** Thurman and a Garcia. They are B level fighters.

This...

Both fighters are too normal and the fight was mediocre.

[tokon]

What it boils down to is styles and neither style was polished enough to leave a mark. The fighters didn't press enough and the fight wasn't intense, although it did have its moments every now and then. I didn't expect a war but for the fight to be considered a premium scrap in one of the "hottest" divisions in the sport... it was extremely lacklustr.

Yes, that is how I saw it too.

I think that Thurman tried harder to make the fight from the start though and I was a little disappointed at Garcia's lack of intensity; I got the impression he almost seemed to give it up a little quite early in the fight?

I also agree with the OP regarding bad advice from Garcia's corner.

He had some success in the last round when he went all in. Why didn't he do it after the seventh? He was like 5-2 down, he didn't have a choice but to go for the KO.

It was clear he couldn't outbox Thurman, he needed to go all in. Die or win.

[True-Boxing-Fan]

Don't know what to make of Garcia's style. I don't think he can trade longer than 5-10 seconds, although the opposite is deceiving. He either clinches or ducks so low, which are ugly defensive tactics, to get out of the exchange. When he's on the offense, he just make it look so but in fact afraid to throw punches. It's impossible to get your punches when you're not willing to risk getting punched yourself.

True, Danny used to be the master of throwing punches with his opponent. But now he just throws one or two punches at a time and that's it.

He can counter good but he can't sustain an attack that calls for more than two or three punches at a time.

I just think his undefeated status he had for all this time gave him a big head.

*** Thurman and a Garcia. They are B level fighters.

They are both solid fighters...nothing special imo. Thurman is better though, and his corner almost cost him the fight. yet even when evading he was connecting more than Danny.

Sometimes I wonder who the crack head is, the judges or Angel.

Thurman has more things he can do. he is a better fighter and talented. Danny is a good puncher but lacks footspeed and cannot make adjustments. Yet the judges raise his hand, and almost raised it again last night.

Ohhh . So it's their opponents selection keeping em off the Big stage . Not the fact that in Lara's big fight with Canelo he Ran like Flo-Jo . Or in the Canelo/Cotto PPV undercard Rico looked like Sh't ?

Yeah. Rigo barely has anyone decent to matchup with. Lara wouldn't fight any of the Charlos who had belts at the time. There was no great matchmaking for them.
