Garcia vs Broner

[walrus]

I hear what your saying but the mystery is his inability to adjust. Not everyone is going to fight the fight he wants certainly not now that everyone can see what troubles him. We are talking three fights in a row, or is it four he couldn't make any adjustments. He still, by luck, maintains the belt but to be worthy of the belt he has to be able to fight more than one fight.

I guess its a matter of perspective and whether you believe he was making adjustments before. Me personally, I think Khan pressed his luck against garcia as garcia's game plan was to track down khan find his fragile chin and put a dent in it. Garcia kept missing khan by fractions of an inch before he finally landed. Some believe that khan was giving garcia an education before Garcia caught him. I think it was case of garcia playing dumb in that they knew he would have to take some punches to land some counters so that's what he did. The sight of khan on rubber legs and splayed out on the canvas kind of erased any damage garcia took before that and cast him in this overnight sensation kind of light.

The fight against matthysse was also one where everyone figured Matthysse just needs to connect and it would be over. Matthysse maybe counted on it too much too. Changed his camp, and trained here instead of argentina, took part in the whole media tour, etc. and didnt use his whole arsenal. Not saying that what garcia did wasn't intentional, but he never changed his plan. The idea was to keep Matthysse from setting up huge punches by boxing and jabbing more from the outside. When Matthysses eye blew up, it was easier to start getting a little more aggressive but basically if its not broke, don't fix it. The eye kept Matthysse from really adjusting which kept garcia from needed to adjust.

Herrera was supposed to be a showcase. Then they found out that Herrera wasn't coming to lay down. Garcia got a gift decision anyway, a lot of people think. So off that Haymon decides that garcia lost his luster and the magic is wearing off and sets him up with an unranked fighter coming up from a lighter weight that Garcia just loaded up all day and Gamache'd in like 2 rounds. For me its kind of smoke and mirrors.. not saying its all haymon orchestrated... im just saying that when you look at the guys he had trouble with:
Bloated Morales (First fight)
Old Zab (Aged and Chinny would eventually fade, allowing youth to catch up)
Herrera (Didnt read the script)
Peterson (hard worker but i think they believed if Matthysse caught him, they could too)

With those performances, I wouldn't have expected him to have a high boxing IQ. If he isn't stylistically spoon-fed, I think hes prone to having an average night if you take away the glitz. I wouldn't really call the belts luck either. Catchweights the last 2 times to keep him from losing the belt on the scales.

Danny reminds me of a fighter that needs a new trainer.

I thought it funny watching AB joke about himself.
