Garcia, Jacobs likely to appear on PBC on ESPN card - Dan Rafael Blog - ESPN
3rd non title fight in a row. Danny should just be stripped he went from dominating everyone at 140 to being the king of catch weights. Let the other guys fight for it . Not to mention he's looked like shit the last 3 fights. I pick Paulie
Oh now I've had enough. Fuck Danny Gift Garcia.
There I said it.
Sergio Mora back on ESPN...in a title fight:-X
Garcia is a joke. Lemme guess..this is the one where he'll actually MOVE UP to full welter???
I said it for a while now.Quote:

Winnable fight for Paulie. Paulie is the faster and better fighter and has a pretty solid chin. Garcia gets outboxed but may keep the title via horrible decision.
I am really surprised at this news!
I always supported garcia but this is getting beyond a joke!
i hope paulie outboxes this guy.
Why on earth is danny garcia competition level dropping since khan and lucas..
Both fights are a fucking joke to be honest. I was a fan of Garcia after he beat Khan and Matthysse, but he is throwing his poxy career down the toilet. I can't understand how he manages to keep his title to be honest.
Yup, I had high hopes for Danny but he really seems to have gone down hill. I still think he needs to leave his father which will probably never happen. I don't know about Paulie though, even in Danny's current state I don't think Pauline has enough to keep him off. Might actually make Danny look good. I think Pauline is a little past due but the way Danny has been looking I guess anything is possible.
Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if Paulie could outbox Garcia but honestly the judges wouldn't give it to Paulie on the cards. LOL that would be so funny to me if it happened!!!!!
wooooooow, i know he won the lucas fight but it's almost as if that fight made him say fuck this shit. Is he ever going to fight a dude with pop again? Isnt paulie coming of being demolished in 3?joke fight and probably won't waste my time with it actually
Garcia should be giving Peterson a return. Malignaggi just an opponent here.
This fight is more about eyebrow plucking than a competitive boxing match.
I could see Paulie pulling this off (and probably getting robbed on the scorecards).
I'm a Garcia fan but this is getting ridiculous. He scored a huge win over Matthysse that propelled him up to being one of the top names in the sport. Since then it's been joke fights and catch weight bouts that mean nothing.
Either step up to WW or stay at 140 and defend your title. There are plenty of legit challenges at both weights, he doesn't need to pull guys out of retirement.
To think that people were thinking Garcia should be fighting Floyd. Garcia has blown his chances with the fights he has made since the impressive victory against Mattysse.
Joke fighters don't beat Amir Khan, Erik Morales, Zab Judah, Lamont Peterson, Lucas Matthyeshe.Quote:

I'm not sure what is worse this fight or people thinking Paulie has a chance. On second thought I am sure, come on people Paulie is used up. Porter can't punch and he "hurt me with every shot" according to Paulie himself. It doesn't matter how tough you are when your punch resistance goes it goes. If Paulie could still fight it might be interesting considering how crap Garcia has looked the last few years but Paulie is done.
Porter can't punch? What gave you that idea?Quote:

Judah, Herrera, Peterson all gave Garcia trouble. If Paulie has anything left hell also be able to give Garcia trouble. Garcia still a strong fav but wouldnt be surprised if Paulie nicks it.
Porter is strong physically but his mechanics just don't translate to concussive punching. That's why he has a low KO percentage for a guy with relatively few top opponents. His KO percentage will drop even more(like everyone's does) when he fights top guys on a consistent basis.Quote:

I agree Paulie would be tough for Garcia if he didn't have long term concussion problems. If you watch the NHL or NFL then I am sure you have noticed that the guys that have the month long symptoms, 2 month, 6 month etcetera, those guys get concussed very easy. Brains don't just heal. Paulie is done.
His KO percentage is higher than GarciasQuote:

/thread.
I didn't see 1 person on this forum who thought he won that fight. Herrera beat him but didn't get the nod.Quote:

The thing is that Paulie doesn't knock people out, but that is the only possible way he can win this fight as the judges are likely getting paid to give Garcia at least 7 rounds regardless.
The mileage that Malignaggi accumulated over his fights didn't quite show against Judah because he was facing another old lion that was slowing. The Broner performance was probably Paulie's last hurrah. Porter went buzzsaw on Malignaggi and showed his legs couldn't get him out of the way and his punch couldn't even make porter's nose itch.
Without his legs, Malignaggi has nothing to keep Garcia off of him because he is ridiculously outgunned. So for Garcia, even though Malignaggi will be billed as a sage and a wily veteran, this is like a updated version of Salka. Garcia will throw less punches than porter but Paulie's not big by any means... and once Paulie's legs give out, he's a sitting duck and as Porter showed, Garcia doesn't have to be accurate or even flawlessly technical to rip into him.
I know everyone sees garcia as lazy and confused in his past couple of wins so its his fight to lose... but the way this fight was set up, he's always just a blitz away from the beginning of the end. Though it will be interesting to see Malignaggi lose a close decision and see if his mouth goes loose cannon against Haymon, the hand that feeds him.
