However, I've browsed the forum, and not a single person believes that Garcia beats Terrence Crawford. I wonder why that is.
Could it maybe be the fact that, as I said, Garcia looked B-level during this fight, and happened to be in the ring against a D-level performer in Broner tonight? Because if Crawford beats Garcia, and I'm not sure he does, that makes Crawford A-level and Garcia B-level. IF they ever fight.
It felt like Broner was trying the same strategy he tried against Porter, to steal the fight by showing up late and letting his opponent gas. He's done it before, at least three times, and I don't have a clue why he keeps thinking that strategy would work. He beat himself. No weight drain, no beard, no strange refs, no excessive fouling. Just a stupid strategy.
I've said before and I'll say it again. The only reason for the odds is that you can never tell what Broner is going to show up. He's inconsistent as hell. That he could even get blood out of Mikey is telling.
NOTHING is taking away from Mikey's win tonight. It's in the books, he earned it, couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
But let's not pretend that was the best Broner performance and let's not fool ourselves into believing that if you put Garcia in the ring with someone faster and more active, that Garcia wouldn't get absolutely handled over 12 rounds.
