Who do you think will win when they fight?
I think Thurman is a bit too fast for Garcia. Danny can rise to the occasion, like he did against Matthysse... but his stock has been on the decline as of late. It sort of depends on which Garcia shows up. I think he's got the skills and power to keep Thurman honest... but in the end I voted Thurman by decision.
Thurman he is the man at welterweight. Fearless and takes on all comers.
I have a feeling Garcia is going to win, seems like a big event fighter to me
im gonna check the odds now
This is a good fight and solid match up. I think that Garcia is the more skilled of the two, but would bet on Thurman by decision due to his size and range advantage. Garcia is a great counterpuncher, and fights up or down to the level of his competition, but he is moving up and he isn't as blessed naturally as Thurman. Credit to both for making this fight.
I think Thurman should go for the knockout. He can't leave it to the judges, because Garcia has had his share of gifts.
Yea..like Spence.Quote:

I understand his style is not exactly easy on the eye, but guess what..he has the heart to always win.
Give the guy a break..he has faced much better opposition than Thurman.
Thurman has faced better fighters at welterweight no question. Stop trying to make Garcia out to be better than he is just because of what he did at the lower weight.Quote:

Let's see.
After the fight happens, let's revisit this thread.
Garcia will surprise everyone again..always the underdog.
OK and watch Floyd avoid facing Thurman when he wins.Quote:

Floyd would make it look easy. He's faster, has better defense, and a longer reach than Thurman.Quote:

I think people dislike Garcia because they can't stand his father... which is unfair I know. About his style, I wouldn't say that at all. I like his style. Yes, he's under-performed for some reason at times... but when he's "on", he's fun to watch. And yes.... I say he's faced better opposition than Thurman. That being said, the move up in weight, and given Thurman's speed and power, I stick with my thought of a Thurman win by decision.
