Danny Garcia in talks to defend against Mauricio Herrera at 140lbs. next
Danny Garcia vs. Mauricio Herrera Bout in Talks? - Boxing News
I thought Danny was going to Welter, but it looks like he is staying at 140lbs for a little longer. Not an awful fight, but Garcia will win it and win it well. He's a class above guys like Herrera.

I knew he was serious about remaining at 140 but for freakin Herrera? Wow.. might as well just pack up and move up to WW if he's gonna waste time with lower B level opposition.
This is an easy tuneup..

Seems like a step backwards, should have move to welter against a Malignaggi type. Only interested in seeing him face Provodnikov at 140 and the cold war prevents that :eek: maybe Peterson-Jean, but Herrera? :-\

I do not even know who Herrera is. Never remember seeing him fight.
Garcia has been fighting the very best he can, so if he wants a tune up then he's entitled to it in my opinion.
People said he was ducking Matthysse and that Lucas would beat him and he proved us wrong.

Herrera can fight a little bit and isn't afraid to bang a Provodnikov and beat him or war with Alvarado. I thought he made Mayfield look a bit, meh. Regardless Garcia doesn't belong in the ring with him coming off a career defining win. Strictly a 'stay busy' with the biggest fear a mental let down and looking beyond him for Danny. Nothing to gain for Garcia and a guy in Herrera who can be a hustling spoiler. This wont of course be anywhere near a ppv card...right???

Major step backwards.. joe blow herrera is the typical espn fighter..
I guess garcia deserves a soft touch but still, it's an odd move..

i agree that this is a weird fight to take. im fine with this fight if he fights 4 times this year but if he isnt staying that active then this isnt a good fight.

Being fair to Herrera, he holds a win over Provodnikov, but he lost to Alvarado. I've seen him a few times and he's not a bad fighter but he has nothing to trouble Garcia.

It is a step back, but in shape Herrera might be able to offer a test. The scale of the fight would give him a proper training camp, which I doubt he has had much of in his career.

Re: Danny Garcia in talks to defend against Mauricio Herrera at 140lbs. next
I can't believe people are defending this fight. What an anti-climax.
Danny had such a great year last year and now he's coming off the biggest win of his career, where he whipped a guy who almost everyone thought would steamroll him. And this is how they follow it up? Fighting a guy who's nowhere near the top 10? And probably not even in the top 20? Yeesh.
Boxing makes no sense to me.

Herrera is tough but once you get to Garcias level you should only be fighting rated guys

Herrera won. No doubt about it.

Re: Danny Garcia in talks to defend against Mauricio Herrera at 140lbs. next
I still think Garcia is an average fighter. Hes put in a good performance against Matthysse but apart from that Ive never been impressed. Looked pretty shit against a shot Morales in their 1st fight and did not impress v Judah. Really been riding that KO win over Khan. Talk of him facing Mayweather is pathetic but no doubt Floyd will pick him. Id like to see him rematch Khan or Matthysse.

Re: Danny Garcia in talks to defend against Mauricio Herrera at 140lbs. next
Decent card, I think Danny deserved the nod with his classier combos
Scott took a dive for his mate. Disappointing effort again from him
Deleon was stopped prematurely but what did he expect in peurto Rico

I think it was a dive too... but it wasn't me in the ring. Stuff happens in Puerto Rico.

Very true Gandalf, and your prognosis of the situation was understated, which shows a remarkable self restraint and a penchant for Friday Night Fights with the remarkable Teddy Atlas.
In all seriousness, I thought Herrera was excellent. He beat Garcia to the punch in most rounds, he backed Garcia up, and dominated the exchanges.
The fix was in with the revelation of the 8th round cards. I feel bad for Herrera who clearly did have time to train, was in fantastic shape, was awkward, unpredictable, and beat the man for all to see.
A terrible decision and a shame only Paulie defended his own card from a non-pundit 'let's not rock the boat' stance. Al Bernstein had Herrera up yet constantly tried to justify the closeness of the fight. It was like Goebbels. At least Paulie told the truth and good on him.
Shame on Showtime today and I don't usually say that. Two terrible fights. A fake KO and a complete robbery.

Seeing that as well. Just a few rounds in you could see a little confusion on him. Herrera was sneaking him and showed craftiness and hustle that a Mayweather duplicates by the truckload. Garcia took a nothing to gain and everything to lose fight vs a guy they probably only watched one time, and lost quite a bit last night.

We can substitute Texas or Mexico in there and you'd have a true statement as well. Honestly I'm amazed at how one bad card seems to create a mountain of discontent which only gets bigger with each passing comment.
My own take on the 3 fights:
De Leon was stopped prematurely for some..... appropriately for others. Even the TV commentators were divided on that one. He had been dropped with a vicious right hook.... and he never seemed to fully recover. Premature stoppages will be a controversial part of boxing when we're all dead and gone.
Scott either took a dive, or was shitting his pants on the way to the ring. Either way, it was a robbery of paying fans..... and Scott should have his purse withheld pending a full investigation.
Yes..... the Garcia-Herrera decision was a shitty one. A hometown decision, clearly. Difference is, I'll call them like I see them no matter WHERE it happens. Blind fucking fans, like a couple I won't mention on this forum, will only call them when it occurs outside of their own backyard.

Oh I didn't think it was a ROBBERY or anything but a slightly favorable decision. I was just surprised at how everyone beforehand thought he was koing herrera, knocking out khan doesnt turn you into a bomber, basically like you I have never been all that impressed with him.
