Comments Thread For: Thurman: Garcia Wants To Try Again? No Problem With Rematch!

[Sweet_Science_]

It was relatively close... yet..relatively not close. Rather see them face other guys right now.

Rematches are necessary when the fight outcome is debatable for either fighter, or when the action was so fan friendly and exciting that another fight will bring guaranteed $$$.

I saw neither. Pretty much everyone scored it for Thurman. And the action (for the casual fan) was just average. 1st round was awesome...2nd to 5th rounds were pretty good... rest of the fight was somewhat of a letdown (for casuals) especially the last 2 rounds when Thurman went on his bike.

Rematch isn't necessary right now IMO. But I'm open to it down the road.

I agree. A rematch down the road is fine. I'd like to see Garcia start letting his hands go and build up some interest again.
Thurman has the salt and pepper on his side of the table now.
The Kell Brook vs Errol Spence winner is big dollars for Thurman. Especially if Brook wins. That's a stadium fight overseas.

No need for a rematch right now. I would love to see Thurman KO Khan and Khan be gone for good. Funny how Khan wanted Garcia rematch but has not said he wants Thurman now that Thurman holds the WBC belt.

oscar-tito, may-pac, and now thurman-garcia... fights that promised fans best of fireworks but flopped in action. all three were successful, somewhat controversial, and no rematch clause. Us hardcore fans are the only ones falling for this recurring scam. Even though that last one was free I feel i was robbed of 36min+a few months of following the build up. smh! I'm resting the fate of boxing on jr to upset canelita, since ginger will continue ducking ggg.

Sounds like a bunch of Garcia haters in here....

Yall acting like Thurman blew Danny out or something when the fight was dam near a draw

Danny was way more accurate and Thurman was more active.

At the end of the day Danny fought timid and didn't let his hands go but I'm sure in a rematch now that he's felt the power of Thurman and realizes it was a lot of hype Danny let's em fly..

I think if Danny walks Thurman down jabs and is more active he wins relatively easy..

To me there's really nothing special about Thurman I like his personality but as a fighter at the elite level he's no 1 time. He's a play it safe type fighter do just enough to win the only 2 fights he's had at the top level could have easily been 2 draws.

I think even Broner would give Thurman a hell of a fight and he doesn't even have any business fighting g at 47

I'd like to see it because I think Thurman can win more decisively, and the rematch would be more exciting. Both fighters would make adjustments and bring it more, I think. I'd love to see it but obviously Thurman vs the Brook-Spence winner, and Garcia vs Porter, are the fights that should be made, and then if Thurman and Garcia both win, or both lose, that's when the rematch could happen.

I'd basically like to see the group of Thurman, Brook, Spence, Porter, maybe Khan, Pacquiao if he's still around, Crawford, Mikey Garcia, etc, just go in cycles fighting each other until they have all fought each other at least once, sometimes twice or three times. Those are all good fights and it doesn't matter who is coming off a win or a loss, just put those guys together and there will be solid fights. You can just keep recycling those guys in different matchups until some separate themselves, and the others fall off and get replaced in the cycle by the next up and comers.

i'm ok with a rematch, just not right away.

the first fight was underwhelming, as garcia was too tentative, and thurman was content to "run out the clock." that said, thurman won decisively, and i don't see an angle they'd be able to use to try and sell the public on a rematch.

boxing has made some strides this year, no need to take a step back.

[WesternChamp]

that's how it should be. big fights should allow 1 rematch. props to thurman for honoring it.

We are not Garcia haters, we just see reality for what it is. Thurman won decisively, not "damn near a draw" by any means.

[aboutfkntime]

rematches are all about timing

not sure if an immediate rematch is the best idea right now

if the last few rounds had been back-n-forth it maybe different

If you watched the interviews. A lot of Pro boxers that were there saw it as a draw or Thurman winning by a small margin. There is nothing decisive about that. I think Pro boxers have a little more clout than "we" Danny was far more accurate. Which is why it was a split decision.

People act like Thurman won a lot of the early rounds and really when you go back and watch the fight round by round a lot of those mid rounds were simply toss ups.

I thought when Danny got close to Thurman and starting countering at letting his hands go I forget which rd maybe 5 or 6 I thought he was kicking Thurman's azz pretty good but like he said himself he didn't want to get caught reaching so he was a bit timid

What got Thurman the majority of them was the fact that he would land the most right before the bell negating a lot of the work Danny did during the rounds.

Like I said in a rematch I doubt Danny would fight the same. I think he realizes he's actually bigger than Thurman and stronger. All Danny has to do is walk Thurman down and let his hands go.. The blueprint is there I'm sure Danny saw when he watched himself on tape.
