    There's not one area in which Garcia is better than Keith, Keith should beat him and make It look easy, a stoppage isn' out of the question here, Peterson rocked him a few times, I don't think his chin is as solid at WW, there's a reason he's been feasting on featherfists. And why exactly are you so concerned anyway? You're not one to talk when it comes to not giving credit to fighters.

    I absolutely think so. If no knockout or he doesn't beat Thurman 12-0 I predict some people are not going to give him his fair due.

    But Ward/Kova dec was VERY suspect. I hope its a better & fair decision whoever wins

    I think Garcia has some talent, he is able to make the fighters he fights fight at his very slow pace LOL.

    And you and I know that Keith's body is a huge huge red flag.

    IF Danny gets the right shot in, we could see an epic collapse from Thurman.

    When I look at guys like DSG and Khan and see the amount of talent they have shared the ring with and also beaten and I see the unjustified hate they get I think its unfair.

    When those same haters start calling a guy like Kell Brook a king with his paper thin resume it is a bit grating.

    GGG is in a similar boat tbh, his stock here is well over valued, his resume could end up matching the hype but it is nowhere near that level yet.

    Most of the Brook/GGG fans seem to pat each other on the back, but a few of us like to bring them back a peg and I think deservedly so.

    I think it's kinda clear why people say that. He's a very good boxer, but he has gotten two obvious gifts and boxfans don't forget that.
    Now trying to turn that around, saying he won't get a fair shake from the fans is kinda stupid isn't it? It happened to Broner a little bit after his fight with Paulie, winning a close but fair decision because people were fed up with him, but mostly fans don't get that irritated by a boxer. So if it's very close, give it to Garcia and his father does one of his highly irritating acts, then maybe it might happen with some fans.

    But a robbery is a robbery or it isn't.

    Tough fight to call but I'll go with Thurman. Momentum seems to be in his favor at the moment. Danny has wasted the last couple of years. Think he was hoping for a Mayweather fight and made sure he fought guys that were unlikely to beat him. Now he's fighting his best opponent for 3 years. Not a fan off Danny or his dad so will be fine with Thurman winning this.

    Just like more times than most I agree with you, Danny is the Rodney Dangerfield of the boxing world to all but his fans, the man gets no respect. I see Danny either winning a clear decision, or by late round stoppage. The man truly fights up to or down to his opponent, he will outclass Thurman yet half this board will either claim robbery.

    Shits almost like clockwork.

    He's hated cos he took an easy run of fights after a lot of quality opposition.

    He's now fighting Thurman so mthats put an end to that.

    Garcia has received, arguably, two gift decisions. I wouldn't want to leave it in the judges hands if I were Thurman. That said, it wouldn't surprised me if he legitimately wins a decision and people still claim robbery. Judging is subjective so anything can happen.

    I just think people want to see him win his fights and not receive controversial decisions.

    His fights with Herrera and Peterson were questionable results, but that's not Danny's fault whatsoever. He fought them and accepted the results for what they were.

    Anyway this is by far his biggest step up in competition since the Matthyse fight so he should be commended for that. If he wins, I just hope it was at least a competitive fight that could've went either way (worse case scenario if he gets a decision.)

    The part that makes the Danny hate so funny is they said he was ducking Lucas he fights him. Beats Lucas at his own game. And still gets no credit lol
