Why don't we put our thoughts on this fight into one big thread?

Who do you think will win when they fight?

I think Thurman is a bit too fast for Garcia. Danny can rise to the occasion, like he did against Matthysse... but his stock has been on the decline as of late. It sort of depends on which Garcia shows up. I think he's got the skills and power to keep Thurman honest... but in the end I voted Thurman by decision.

[Master]

Thurman he is the man at welterweight. Fearless and takes on all comers.

I have a feeling Garcia is going to win, seems like a big event fighter to me

im gonna check the odds now

This is a good fight and solid match up. I think that Garcia is the more skilled of the two, but would bet on Thurman by decision due to his size and range advantage. Garcia is a great counterpuncher, and fights up or down to the level of his competition, but he is moving up and he isn't as blessed naturally as Thurman. Credit to both for making this fight.

I think Thurman should go for the knockout. He can't leave it to the judges, because Garcia has had his share of gifts.

Yea..like Spence.

I think Thurman wins but I could definitely see Garcia winning. Thurman is quick and hits hard enough to make Garcia a little hesitant to throw a ton. The thing is though, Garcia does have a decent chin and he is pretty tough. Thurman has definitely been hurt before and is not the hardest guy to hit.

On second thought, I'm going with Garcia. It's a toss up but I've made my choice. It may change again before the fight though.

I don't think Garcia is quite as bad as everyone makes him out to be. He'ds got decent counterpunching fundamentals and has used that to maximize his chances at winning by baiting and trapping faster fighters like Khan, by luring them into a firefight he knows he can win. Hes faced a softy or two while extending his reign and had definitely benefited from a decision once or twice.

The thing about thurman is he seems to enjoy talking the talk more than he does walking the walk. He relishes having natural advantages (age, speed, power) in there on some opponents and exploits those to the fullest. That's the idea... there's nothing wrong with that. Once he encounters too much resistance, he seems to reevaluate whether or not its worth the trouble to close a show.

So that being said i think this fight will be decided in the early rounds, with thurman picking at garcia and trying to build a lead. Garcia can be a notoriously slow starter till he finds his range and gets comfortable. So I think Thurman builds a lead over the first 4 or 5. Garcia settles down and lands something on thurman that gives him something to think about over the next 2 or 3 rounds and thurman losing points while he circles and thinks. and then Thurman gets on a bike and potshots down the stretch after realizing its not worth it to stand there and trade with a kid who's loading up an a hail mary shot. Just my 2...

Think the body work by Garcia will do a lot of damage to Thurman who seems to rattle easily. Want Thurman to not only ko Danny but his big mouth daddy as well, but keep seeing Garcia with a tko win.

[Primo Carnera]

Didn't realise there was a poll on this thread, so I put my tuppence worth in. There's a case for both fighters, but I'm going for the draw. Sitting on the fence? No, not really. I reckon this'll show how twisted boxing is, they both keep their titles and probably do it all over again for better money, because both will "claim" they won.

I think Thurman on points , but you are usually right Randy so I wont put money on it
But I will gloat if I'm right

[Ron Swanson]

I think Master doesn't get enough credit for some brilliant humor. Or he believes those things and that's scary.

Can Thurman do enough damage before Garcia times him? Because we know Keith can't take it. Someone in here(J undisputed I think) wrote it out about right.

I got Garcia and Matthysse all wrong . Since then I've been hanging onto a Herrera robbery, beating up Rob Salka and his wardrobe as cases against Danny .

hope Thurman does a proper number on him so we can move on
