Garcia last night...

I like Garcia but he was certainly tentative. He had a dead man walking after the KD and let him off the hook. He should have finished him off. Gave too much respect - obviously not confident enough but he should have been last night.

 

im still a believer in garcia. im really high on garcia, hes jst young and an old vet forgot more then garcia learned. garcia couldnt do alot of things he wanted to do. morales disruptive garcia so much where he couldnt load up n get nething off. too much youth for garcia in the long run an garcia is good enuff to figure out sum openings on morales

 

He had a little roll going at the belt line. The older you get the tougher it is to endure the pain needed to be in top shape. Some can, some can't of course. Point is though, he retired and tried to come back. Got a little softer.

 

Garcia is solid but I doubt he becomes something truly special he's got good tools, decent skills and ability. He would up his overall package dramatically he would straighten out those rights. That being said I thought morales did the best he could with the cards he was delt last night. Morales will always be one of my favorites of all time

 

Yeah I'm sure the partying is the reason. Not the 3 fights with, Barrera, Pacquiao his fights with Zaragoza, Chi, Espadas, Chavez and Hernandez had nothingggg to do with it.

And his overall warrior mentality which Marquez never had earlier in his career when he was a "boring" defensive minded boxer and didnt have the passion and want to land your own punches after you been hit mindset which he started to get after the first Pacquiao fight but Morales had that since he turned pro.

Guys in lower weights never are that good when they start getting close to thirty(normally) and definitely not after all those wars. Morales may only be 35 but in ring years he's pushing 50 and still giving these young guys all they can handle.

And that thin, lanky body taking all that punishment..... he's lucky his career/prime/ best years ect lasted as long as it did.

 

Excellent post. Don't forget the Wayne Macullough fight, although he was not much of a puncher, that was a heck of a battle too.

 

Morales would have killed garcia a few years ago.

 

When Morales was still good enough to be called substantially better than Garcia it was 2006 and he was campaigning two divisions lower than Garcia does. (and Danny wasn't even a professional boxer yet)

 

Right before the GIF of him getting clocked in the 11th.
