Does ANYONE think the SD was the correct call? Anyone think DG won?

Since when does using your legs automatically mean you lose a round? You people have been posting on here for years and still don't know **** about the sport. Thurman used movement so Garcia won those rounds?
Thurman outlanded Garcia in 9 of the 12 rounds. Throughout the fight, he threw more and landed more (which means he got hit less, therefore had better defence), controlled the pace of the fight and was the ring general. That's all the scoring criteria for a fight.

I think Thurman won by 2rds. I dont think people realize that SD and MD are done in these sorta fights for Casinos and bookies to benefit. If it had been a UD for Thruman, lots of money woulda been lost because a UD for Thurman was kinda a no brainier.

Just as I have predicted. The Swift sucks at chasing his opponents. It's clearly just posturing with no intention of doing anything else. I knew he won't catch Thurman on the ropes, which Porter and Guerrero were able to. Garcia was also the one disrupting the flow of the fight by clinching. Can't clearly trade in very close quarters and longer than 5 seconds.
Thurman by UD.

This bout was very easy to score. We've all seen fights that were tough to judge, and people's opinions varied accordingly. In this case, practically everyone agrees: either 116-112 or 115-113, Thurman. Personally, I had it 8-4, but I wouldn't argue with 7-5 for Keith. The judge that put everyone on the edge of their seat by making it a SD is what's wrong with boxing. Disgraceful.
