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.
