Keith Thurman vs. Danny Garcia

Post by magwitch »

I’ve looked it up and it seems this - the big fight of the weekend - goes ahead at the Barclays Centre in Brooklyn, N.Y. (does Garcia fight out of Brooklyn?)....maybe, maybe not......

Anyway - that must put it in the same time zone as The Garden - so I would ANTICIPATE a ring entry time for these two at around 4am to 4:30am, UK time. Unless I’m getting mixed up with the Vegas fights.
Anyone got a clue please?

EDIT - Scrap that. I always remember Mayweather and Oscar getting in the ring around 5am but that was Vegas! I am (hopefully) reliably informed by the internet that New York is 3 hours ahead of Vegas......so in the ring at perhaps 1am UK time? :maybe:

Yeah 1ish, 2. Not too long after the card over here finishes. Shouldn't be too late of a night.

I think Garcia fights out of LA, I could be wrong.

Garcia is from Philly. East coast kid, probably 3 am fight time in the UK.

I thought LA rang a bell too but you’re correct :TU: Philadelphia must be fairly close to Pittsburgh then.
I didn’t realise Danny Garcia was still only 28yrs old - seems to have been around a good while now. I’m also quite surprised he has maintained an unbeated ledger, considering I’ve seen him labelled this week as “a flat footed fighter with poor movement” :-?
His record suggests otherwise to me. Mind you, I thought Peterson whupped him and apparently he’s been considered fortunate on some other occasions too.

He's perpetually underrated but not unbeatable. My money is on him here. Philly & Pittsburgh aren't too far apart. 6 hour drive or so.
