    Didn't let his hands go enough. One big shots ain't gonna cut it.
    Garcia slow mo hands and feet.He looks alright when he fights plodders like a Rios or Mathysse.But against the Shaun Porter and Thurmans of the world Swift is not swift at all he is way too slow looking like a damn stiff robot.

    I only saw the highlights after the Estrada fight but from what they showed Danny was landing the harder shots that where stopping Porter in his tracks i saw him wobble more than once

    It was a close fight
    Edge to porter for the activity
    Garcia slowed down due to the body shots

    Judges score landed punches. People on ESB score missed punches. :nusenuse:

    I don't like watching him or DSG, which is why I didn't bother tuning in.

    Really? What do you dislike about Danny's style?

    Judges must have seen all the body shots you missed.

    If you're going to be exceedingly economical and take long stretches of a fight off offensively, your offense better at least be flashy and/or incredibly surgically precise (see PBF, Lara, etc) and not basic AF. :nusenuse:

    If you want to hold my attention anyway.

    Garcia was a little apprehensive. I saw an interview with Thurman and he said that was one of Danny's best qualities his ability to not get rattled, something like that. And he was rattled a little and Porter sort of won the round with activity. I give it to Porter. I thought Danny would win the fight by decision, but I thought Porter could win.

    I've always found Danny boring and Shawn just disgustingly sloppy. Depending on the dance partner some of each guy's fights have been worse than others, and both have even had few of what I'd call decent fights, but neither has ever had a great one, in terms of aesthetics/entertainment.

    Exactly what i had (draw) and exactly what i thought about the scorecards. I can see why some people may have given it to Garcia but i personally couldnt give him that fight. At best i thought he had a draw. He just didnt fight well in the middle rounds specifically rounds 4-8 iirc.

    It's not unwatchable at all. He works, and tries. He throws a lot of punches, and honestly part of the bad rap he gets isn't even his fault. There is a difference between smothering your punches, and being held by the opponent. Garcia was holding quite a bit last night, that wasn't Porter's fault. Porter worked in clinches, scoring to the body, while Garcia held on.

    No, you're just wrong. Porter won the fight walking away. Even most of Danny's most ardent defenders could only muster a draw for him. Porter was just too busy, and unlike the typical Porter match, he was surprisely accurate. Porter put togather his most complete performance as a pro last night, and to attempt to give credit to a guy for landing maybe 5 clean hard punches per round, while ignoring the 7 or 8 accurate hard shots Porter landed per round on top of the consistent working of the body, roughhousing, ring generalship, workrate and counter punching, you're literally going out of your way bending over backward seeing something that just wasn't there to hand the fight to Garcia.
