    Eh, I'm not crazy about a rematch. I paid over $200 to get good seats and the fight ended up being pretty uninteresting and one-sided. Garcia is just all wrong for Thurman.

    There are plenty of other welterweights people would care to see Garcia in with.

Garcia will get beat in a rematch and will likely avoid Spence, Crawford and Porter at all costs. He turned down $4M to fight a past-prime Pac so he could fight Thurman for $2M.

      I was really surprised old Morales gave him that many problems.

      Remember this? lol classic Morales.

          Actually Danny was coming of age against a past prime legend. But even past prime legends are dangerous & can make you look bad, especially to a young lion like Danny was in this fight. It is what it is, like you mentioned, he fought to cautious. He should gone all out at all cause but he didn't.

            Quoted for truth Max.

            Thurman felt it too. He was like...as long as we're content on me winning this thing we don't have to make it a WAR.

              True, plus they were wearing Morales's prefered Winning gloves in that fight. Since Danny won he got to choose the gloves in the rematch and we saw how that ended.

                  That was his homecoming man. He just got too comfortable in front of his people in what was supposed to be a tune up after the tough Matthysse win.

                    Garcia-Porter needs to happen next year.

                      Swift was the one who made the fight boring to watch. Every time One Time goes inside, Swift clinches like a vise grip and breaks the flow of the fight. So effing disappointing when such clowns rely too much on the ref's interference. 3 minutes is reduced down to 2 minutes.
