I get the Porter fight..but why does Danny Garcia act like he fought Thurman close?

[WhatDisButtonDo]

It was an 8-4 affair, at the time of the fight like 90 percent of the people agreed Thurman won. I believe Porter has a right and his fight was much closer, but I don't get people trying to lump their fights together. Thurman beat Garcia clearly after a layoff.

[Sable&Whitefish]

Because it was a split decision.. even if we all saw it differently he can try and make a case that it was close based on the scorecards.

[ThelronMike]

He landed good shots and defended well but still lost the rounds

Danny should watch the fight and see why

[NearHypnos]

Danny Garcia has better judges than Canelo...sooo

[Madison Boxing]

and people on this forum act like danny garcia is a level above porter too lol. as if porter wouldnt have been able to beat the guys that garcia has

[McNulty]

Thurman beat Garcia clearly after a layoff.

I thought it was a close fight for Thurman. If you think it was 8-4, you're a biased Thurman fan. Garcia gave away too many early rounds and in a rematch he can make that adjustment easily.

It wasn't a year either, it was 8.5 months.

It was Porter's best performance thus far.
I was expecting a fight riddled with head butts and clinches as a result of Porter's bulldozing style.
I was pleasantly surprised there was none of that.
It was an extremely entertaining fight.
I was okay with a draw.

Thurman beat Garcia clear as day. Thurman-Porter was a bit closer though.

[Michael1437]

I thought Thurman had the early rounds easy and Garcia came on strong in the later half of the fight, I think Thurman won, but it was a good competitive fight.

[Hands of Stone]

Thurman clearly won 5 of the first 7 rounds easy. I give Garcia three of the remaining 5 rounds. 2 of those were toss up rounds. 7-5 is how I score it and that's being generous to Danny. it wasn't a close fight by any means. Close fights could go either way. This one could only go one way, Thurman's way.
