Keith Thurman vs Danny Garcia RBR

[boxing_rocks]

Lol, danny almost found a way to win again

Well deserved for Thurman...he won it comfortably for me

I never scored it but I think it would have been 3 or 4 rounds to Keith on my card if I had.

The main thing is Danny never found a way after all

Not the best fight and I'm glad there was no demand for a rematch

Hopefully see Thurman in with Spence/Brook winner now

Brook isn't going to fight Thurman. Spence very well might, though.

Brook would fight Thurman in England. Keith doesn't have power to stop a top level boxer, so it would go to cards by British judges.

[Tanzio]

The runner landed more punches and did more damage

More damage? No one got damaged be one guy came to fight and one to run like a bitch

It is called boxing and Thurman thoroughly out-boxed Danny. This is not a stand in the middle of the ring and trade punches sport (unless that is all both fighters have).

I couldn't see Hearn paying to get Thurman over here.

I think that Spence will fight him if he gets by Brook, which is a large if. Team Spence sees what everyone does; Thurman can be stopped to the body if you go early and religiously.

Thurman just stole a few rounds in the last seconds of rounds. This was a very even fight if you scored it round by round. Not sure what fight you all saw

Which is what I thought Garcia would do tonight, but he really let a lot of rounds go after being buzzed.

I actually DID score it round by round publicly on this thread. Where were you?

As did I. The fight we all saw was the one where Thurman won comfortably...you know, the one that just happened.

No it wasn't. Thurman made Garcia look one dimensional for most of the fight. It was the rounds that Thurman took off that Garcia won. It was established early in the fight who the superior boxer was.

[MachoTime]

What did you think Garcia was doing to win his rounds?

One judge was more generous giving Garcia the fight, I had it a draw. When I score a fight I don't look back on it. That's how I saw the fight
6-6.

Fair enough. What was it you saw Garcia doing though?

I don't remember. That's how my Boxing Time Clock works. When I score it's in the moment. That's it. What can I tell you expect it's on to the next fight. This fight is now erased from my Boxing Memory Bank.

So thats Garcia's 4th loss.... #boxing

[BoxBuzz]

Well Thurman won....no doubt.

But I sure see why the Garcia folks have their opinion.

It's a bit like Thurman just wanted to play it safe and nothing more that just win.

It's got to be frustrating for the fans of more aggressive fighting to see these outcomes.

But the matador in this case appeared to simply want to finesse it, nothing less nothing more.

Garcia must have been delivering something that made Thurman think 3 and 4 times before overly committing to anything.

So that speaks a lot of positive about Danny despite being CLEARLY outpointed.

Brook can fight anyone - and he usually finds a way to win. A very good fighter I think.

That's what I was thinking early about Danny. Danny was very hesitant to throw early due to Thurman's power. He was stinging Danny on several occasions early. But it seemed Danny was able to take Thurman's power a lot better late and was coming with a decent body attack late. And it wasn't until the twilight of the fight that Thurman got on his proverbial bike. It was a bit irritating to see. But I still felt Danny needed a stoppage at that point to win.

I had it 116-113 Thurman. It was competitive though; I think I scored the fourth even* and if I'd have given DG that round and the 10th I'd had it a draw. Could I have found one more round to give to Danny? I don't think so but maybe from a different angle I guess. Thurman definitely won some of the rounds way more clearly than Danny won any of his rounds though.

So, a fair result IMO but I won't quibble the SD. Both guys can move on. Garcia vs Broner next, anyone?

*Left my scorecard downstairs! Think it was the fourth though.

[magwitch]

Thanks for the RBR. I f*cked up assuming that seeing as it’s a 3 hour time difference from the West Coast, about 1am UK time might be accurate....which is 9am where I live in China. Turns out the fight was going on at midday here! Too many fcking unpredictables with this sport but the scoring sounds bent.

You goons are talking like it was obvious and it was a split decision, one round away from a draw by one judge. That's as close as you can score a fight without calling it a draw. So not sure what the hell you dinks were watching and it says a lot about your boxing IQ, or lack there of.

Do you recall which rounds you scored for Danny?

Danny is a good pro who has consistently received more than his share of benefits of the doubt and good fortune over his career. He had the tools to beat Thurman tonight but Keith's strategy was executed nearly perfectly.

Pretty sore eh?

If Danny won, it would have been a bad decision.

So one dimensional that it was a split decision and one round away from a draw. You guys are all something else. We learned nothing from this fight as to whom is better.

[marvelous marv]

I had it 5-5 after 10 but thurman was winning his rounds more convincingly. The constraints of the 10 point must system making it close on the cards. The right fighter won though

You are the one and only idiot on here tonight. Go give that vacuum between your ears a rest, before it consumes your skull.

Not sore at all. Just no idea why i'm talking to people that don't understand the game. I guess that's on me.
