The best fighting the best on their prime hurts boxing? I don't understand this logic.

boxingscene you scumbags love bashing anything postive for pbc and haymon..... I was just waiting for this article to bash pbc......

The fight wasnt that great as it seem it was going to be. I was expecting this fight to be fight if the year candidate. This was suppose to be the best fight of the year. Two undefeated champions. I say this was a 50 50 Fights. It has nothing to do with PBC. Thurman vs Porter was great and it was also PBC. He is just stating the fact that it underperform to spectations. It was being compare to Lenard vs Hearns.

I agree with this article. the fight kind of ****** it started out great and than went downhill quick.not the type of fight that you would want to see a replay of. the crowd at the barclays booed the fight.

Keith Idec likes to cry... typical of the boxing media

If the best fighting the best in their primes is boring, why would any other fight not be? That's the way many would think after that fight. I had high hopes because I thought Keith wouldn't want to disappoint on the biggest stage, but he didn't care. This wasn't a look good later fight. Everyone was watching. Look good now

Just proves how important promoting any fight is no matter how s***ty the fight is on paper. You can have the ****t!est outcome, but the objective has been met in flying colors; ratings high, fighters get paid handsomely, business is good..

I remember paying for a UFC fight on PPV because you can't avoid seeing the main card being promoted all over the place. Fight night came and about 10 seconds into the fight... bam!... one kick and one body fell down lifeless. That's the last UFC fight on PPV I paid for.

Big fights are always over hyped & under deliver. What was the last big fight that lived up to the hype? BIG FIGHT being the keyword

Garbage article. If PBC keeps showing these types of fights on free tv the numbers will continue to grow. They need to budget at least 4-6 of these per year but then I don't think they know how free tv, cable, premium cable and ppv are supposed to fit together.

It was an interesting fight but "forgettable" is a good way to describe it. One of the problems was the hype. Thurman hadn't fought in 9 months. He says Garcia is no WW, predicts a KO and then fights as if Garcia is Joe Louis.
Garcia can punch, but we've seen Lamont Peterson (no great chin) walk through Danny's best shots and give him a beat down.
The problem is expectations are high for these once a year fights, we'd do better with more frequent fights between top 10 guys.

forgettable is the word to describe this fight.
