    You're giving Zab credit for what he's trying to do rather than what he is. I have that 7-5 in rounds for Danny, with an incredible rally by Zab. But it's still seven rounds and a knockdown.

    I'm no fan of Garcia, but he's a formidable fighter.

    I was watching Arreola/Stiverne earlier but looking at the later rounds, if Judah loses this, he should be kicking himself. I'm guessing he did his typical routine of not throwing shots, even when he's having success? He's a very frustrating fighter to watch because when he turned it on, he had Garcia where he wanted him.

    On a side note, Stiverne/Arreola has been a very fun heavyweight fight. I liked Stiverne for ages but he was awful against Ray Austin. This Stiverne is a different beast entirely; busy, accurate and very powerful.

    Right decision - Garcia being characteristically honest and fair in his assessment of the fight. I don't see why people are so dismissive of him - he's beating everyone who's in front of him. That was a really mature performance against a guy that usually trips up lesser fighters.

    Garcia can beat Matthysse (harder and more fun) or Peterson (more for the purists).

    Yeah he has got good skills, he can get outboxed at times but his power and counter punching ability allows him to remain dangerous throughout the contest. Perfect example like you said was that knockdown.

    I think they could both lose to both of them. Stiverne has very heavy hands and even though Arreola's technique is bad, he is a big puncher too. Price hits as hard as those two but the difference is, he and Fury can't take it. Stiverne and Arreola have been taking bombs all night, something Fury and Price couldn't do.

    Maybe Fury and Price will improve technically in time, but right now, they aren't good enough to evade the shots and their chins aren't good enough to go through the type of fight Stiverne and Arreola bring. They're limited fighters but they hit very hard and they both have strong chins.
