Comments Thread For: Danny Garcia: I Didn't Feel My Best, Lost 25-Pounds in Eight Weeks

[b Murphington]

I find it funny how, leading up this fight, Danny was talking about how he regained motivation for boxing, yet pulls this shit. Angel really might have lost some of his edge, because I never saw him as the kind of person who'd let his fighter get away with something like that, especially if said fighter is his son.

You’re right Angel always struck me as a no nonsense type of guy I remember hearing him yell at Danny in between rounds during the Porter fight. Saying “IDGAF” getting Danny fired up.

I guess it’s time to move up in weight we’ll see what happens.

25lbs in 8 weeks isnt really that bad lmfao.

The normal healthy weight loss for people trying to lose weight 2lbs a week. 2lbs week @ 8 weeks put that at 16lbs

So I'm not really buying that excuse, if he even cited that as an excuse.

I think what it is ... is probably they lost weight the wrong way, just dramatic caloric deficit and train on E when that aint necessary to lose the weight, so he ends up losing muscle strength and feeling lethargic.

He’s been doing this his entire career. Maybe he’s had longer camps but he’s always dropped this kind of weight.

It was probably a bad camp then.

Saunders

It was probably a bad camp then.

It’s called age man..you can’t just keep melting pounds away as you get older.

Blame Game, just put up, and move on.

Lazy a$$ fighters these days... Wtf ever happened to at least staying in DECENT shape in between fights??

Off the top of my head I can think of maybe a few fighters that are always in decent shape in-between camps- Wilder,Gary Russell Jr,Aj, and a few others.

Most these fighters blow up 30-40lbs+ in between fight camps, only fight twice a yr(mostly garbage competition), eating cheesesteaks, wings, ice cream and drinking beer.

Then they wonder why marinating goes wrong and they don't do the numbers their predecessors once did. One word: ENTITLEMENT

Lame excuse for not knocking out a twice previously ko’d b-level fighter in a lame Pbc showtime mismatch main event!! Way to prove ur still one of the elite welterweights...just keep begging for that last big payday against PAC or Spence.

Garcia is the biggest fraud in boxing in the last 10 years. Only new Yorkers and ricans buy his pseudo super stardom.

Danny, did you buy dad a brain for Christmas?

I’m serious. Do you base it on fighting ability, resume, name recognition, what? I feel that people use the word too loosely without ever making it clear what they meant

Some of all but name recognition being the least. I can't discredit someone based on that alone. Look at Redkach, not a thing very special about him ability wise. Some slightly heavy hands at most. He has Devon Alexander as his big win. Do we need to examine the state Alexander was in at that point? I assume you know. There is not much stock to put in that win, outside of that he has not beaten anyone worthy of a mention. Guys like this is what I consider a bum, he should never have been in a main event on premium cable.
