    Thurman vs Garcia was a good fight

    I enjoyed the fight. it was exciting, like boxing usually tends to be cause you just never know what the outcome will be. I had a bunch of people over my crib & it was split half the crowd was for Thurman & the other half was for Garcia. My only bone to pick is that i noticed that the fighters fought a little bit on the safe mode...particular Garcia. They were being a little too careful in the latter part of the fight. imo this is the difference between boxing now a days & past of the 70s, 80s & the 90s. Back then they just went for it. It seems the culture of boxing is starting to change towards what we witnessed saturday night. I truly enjoyed the fight. I mean I would never critisize fighters. But I do see a change.

    It started out incredible. Ended pretty pathetically when one guy refused to go after the victory and the guy who was leading decided to literally run from the action. All things considered, quite decent. Just sad that it ended so weak.

      It was a good fight. I don't get the hate. Don't know what else people were expecting. Both guys fought like they usually do.

          ^Yea, that's the thing. They fought exactly like we expected them to. Yet, some people were expecting something else??

            I agree! I enjoyed the fight a lot, the later rounds weren't as good as the first ones but there seemed to always be a good punch out during the last 15 seconds of each round. Is hard to see Thurman in a fight that isn't enjoyable
