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 agree with this in most parts except Garcia did hit him cleanly at times and to be fair, there wasn't a great deal of clean punching from either side.
