Keith Thurman vs. Danny Garcia.

[Fenster]

Garcia isn't that big an underdog - 2/1. I quite fancy him pulling off yet another upset, for no other reason than he's always written off, but a good point made in this thread about Thurman winning "boring" - remember ancient Morales taking the piss out of Garcia's slow feet - is probably about right. Thurman has the movement, size and dig going for him.

Angel Garcia is a complete and utter embarrassment, although to be fair he's so ignorant i'm surprised anyone gets offended by him.

I don't think it's a matter of being offended. These are supposed to be professionals. Fines have been handed out for less to fighters like Broner and his Mexi-can - Afri-can rant, Arreola with his f-bombs etc. Angel should face so sort of consequence. I'm sure Angel just does it to try and get under his opponents skin and promote the fight but good fights promote themselves!

I have to admit it worked against Khan when he said he never saw a good Pakistani boxer. It made Khan fight a bit reckless.

On paper Lubin v Cota is pretty good test but Cota moves like he is underwater. Lubin still has some green streaks in the defensive department and should be a good one. Hoping Fonfara can put a dent or two in Dawson.

It's a decent card. I'm hoping Dawson has something left. Thought the Karpency fight could have gone his way.

Just wondering.... Danny Garcia has a better resume correct? Is there anyone Danny beat that can beat Thurman?

Thurman has fought better fighters at welterweight whilst Garcia has beaten better calibre fighters at the weight below none of them would beat Thurman.

I understand why he should be punished from a professional perspective, just meant he's one of those guys where you expect it. I'm pretty sure it's not an act, he's just one of those people that genuinely couldn't give a fuck, he's too thick to not expose himself in public.

I can kind of understand why that poster changed his mind on this fight cus it's a pick em & I find it hard to split the two. I've not seen the odds but was surprise to see Thurman had such a lead in the poll. I'm picking Thurman on points but Danny is a quality fighter so I have no great deal of confidence in my pick

garcia looked the goods vs mathyse the way he let his hands go in combinations but that's the last time I was really impressed by him. I don't think he deserved the win vs Peterson and his career has been abit of a letdown since the promise he showed against Khan. An unbeaten record doesn't mean much when your not active or mixing with the best. Thurman is good on his feet and the better athlete. The 147 weight class suits him as we've not seen how Danny will cope with the top dogs at welter. His good work has been at 140

if Keith boxes a similar fight as he did vs porter I don't see Danny catching him. The danger will be if he tries to take Danny out. Garcia has great timing and is dangerous in exchanges. Keith's probably the more vulnerable of the two as I've seen him hurt to head and body by collazo and karras. I expect "one time" will box a disciplined fight and win a close 12 round decision

This sounds about right. I think Garcia will try to go to his body but his feet are slow as hell compared to Thurman. Thurman knows he can be hurt and will take no chances. He's going to land enough heavy shots on Garcia without going toe to toe with him.

How many times has "one time" actually knocked out an opponent one time with one punch?

Garcia will rise to the occasion against the tougher opponent..he has a track record of this.

I agree with Paul Kevin, Danny Garcia to win when Thurman KO's him
