    Garcia has had 1 fight in nearly 4 years and that level of inactivity is going to play directly into Benns hands with his high output and aggression. A very good name to be sure but, it's still a fairly well calculated cherry pick if Benn goes for it, and a cash out fight for Garcia at 35.

    Danny Garcia of 5+ years ago likely would have detonated a counter left hook on Benn's chin and turned his lights, now however, all I see is Benn on points or late TKO/ ref stoppage.

    It all depends on what Garcia has left, prime Garcia wins with ease but current Garcia, I'm unsure.

    Garcia's inactivity is a problem but I just haven't been convinced at all with Benn's last 2 performances. He's a tough strong kid in his prime but I don't think he's that good, Garcia for me has enough to negate his fast hands and pick him off with those counter hooks.

    Benn wins and then it turns into a NC for him getting busted juicing again.

    Danny will literally assassinate Benn and that is any version of Benn.

    Any version of Danny “Swift” Garcia will stop Benn.

    Angel vs Nigel would be more competitive.

    On a serious note, as long as there is proper testing in place Garcia wins here

    Garcia is a very bad match up for Benn IMO; Benn will be very vulnerable to Garcia's counters.

    Danny hasn't really shown anything at 154, barely at 147 but he's a former elite guy and there's levels to boxing. I haven't seen anything in Nigel's son that I would say impresses me.

    Danny stylistically as a catch and counter guy or punch "with" opponent guy would workout to his benefit here IMO.

    If I was Danny, I'd be pushing for multiple drug tests every week.

    That's exactly as I see it as well, inactivity and age will be too much for Garcia
