Herrera won. It was pretty clear he landed the cleaner punches n more of them despite showstats.

I thought he landed more but Garcia landed the bigger punches throughout the fight. It definitely wasn't a clear cut win for either guy for sure
It was a boring fight. But, in other matters- Garcia looked lethargic. He was clearly not focused to fight hard as he had looked in the past. Perhaps he took this Herrera guy a little too lightly?
Terrible fight for Garcia... it wasn't a good showing. Whatever he did or was doing in preparation for this fight, he should change it.... DRAMATICALLY!!
But, then again, it could be a Mayweather/Castillo 1 type of situation. Things happen.

I thought Herrera decidedly won a tight fight. What I mean is I don't see how you could have Garcia winning, but I didn't think Herrera won by more than a score of 8-4 or 7-5 scores. He controlled the tempo of the fight the whole night-- the right generalship goes to Herrera in almost every round. Garcia never got into a groove. I also never thought Garcia hit him cleanly, which is testament to Herrera's defense. Once Garcia's low blows and his left hook were taken away, he didn't have anything else. He never adjusted to Herrera. The bottom line is that this wasn't a robbery, but Garcia got a gift decision.
I have not seen the fight but from what you lot have scored it then it was close and could have gone either way depending on how you scored the close rounds. Not a robbery but a close fight.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
I think Herrera was landing a lot more cleanly, he just didn't have the power to make it obvious perhaps. Still, I felt the ring generalship he displayed was what clearly made it such a bad decision, here was the light punching slickster who was coming forward confidently in most rounds and pressing the attack, he had Garcia more worried about his power than vice versa in nearly every round. He knew that he wouldn't get a fair shake for his boxing and would need to make the fight, he completely did that, and still didn't get credit for itGarcias body language was that of a guy who was totally lost for most of the fight.
It wasn't Herrera's power that was bothering him, it was the fact that if Danny moved in on Herrera, he got shut down.. If Danny moved away, he allowed himself to get walked down. He was very reluctant on using muscle to make space for shots (bar round 10, I think) and relied on distance to the point of distraction.
