The overbearing parents would be too much in the promo leading up to the fight.
Danny "Swift" Garcia vs "Showtime" Shawn Porter

I think Porter would beat him by many points. I am not sure if Porter wins by KO because Garcia has never been knocked down but Porter could possibly win by KO. Porter looked better than ever yesterday. He stays on top of his opponents and doesn't let them clinch. He puts lots of pressure on them at very close range. Garcia likes to counter punch at mid range. Porter won't give him room to do that or time to plan his punches. He would make Garcia fight every second of every round. Garcia doesn't like that kind of pace and that kind of pressure any more than Broner or Berto did.Comment

I had Thurman beating Swift wide, like 9-3. I think Shawn would do something similar, 8-4 maybe. He would thoroughly outwork Danny.Comment

Would definitely like to see this fight, don't have much interest in either of them fighting Thurman againComment

Porter is not a fun fight for anyone. We know his aggressive style can be neutralized but I'm not sure if Garcia can do it.Comment

This is big part of the reason I would slightly favour Porter. I don't think Garcia has the same stamina that Porter has. Porter will outwork Danny in many rounds. If Garcia hurts Porter badly then he can beat him but if he can't discourage Shawn then he's not going to win that fight. I think Porter wins.I think Porter is too big physical and relentless for a boxer like Garcia to really be effective.
Garcia can have his moments because Porter is there to be hit and can be caught by left hook counters especially by someone with really good timing.
Still Garcia likes to fight at a measured pace and I think Porter is strong enough to maul him and make him fight his fight rather than the fight Garcia wants.Comment
