Danny Garcia vs. Shawn Porter - September 8, 2018

[lazboy]

Has anyone beaten Garcia by standing in front of him? Matthysse and Thurman could not...

I don't think that Porter can do it either. So to win he needs to outbox Garcia from distance. I don't see that happening.

My prediction. Garcia by close decision... Should be good fight

That or smother Garcia, put his stamina and frustration to the test. I see it like you, I see a good fight, think it will go the distance. I could see porter being dropped or hurt but remaining close in the meantime.

Good question... I don't actually know

[Ruthless-RKO]

We have a fight!!

I think Porter could make it an ugly fight, bull Garcia back to the ropes and outwork him in a lot of rounds. Garcia has a good temperament though, so I'd expect him to remain relatively composed even if it's a messy fight. Porter was dropped pretty heavily iirc by a left hook from Broner, Garcia has an excellent left hook so it'll be interesting to see if he can land one on Porter as he rushes in.

Both guys look like they took camp very seriously. Fantastic shape.
Garcia really has the height, I never actually noticed how big the difference was until the weigh in pictures. Shaun is probably going to use his head quite a bit if he is allowed on the inside

This could end up being a stinker but I'm strangely looking forward to it

It could but I have a good feeling about this one. I"m expecting a cracker.

It wasn't bad at all was it? I thought the scoring was about right too.

surprised porter only got like 25 percent picks in the prediction game, was this not a quintessential 50-50 fight?

Aye was good fight mate. I had Garcia edging it. Slow start.

Yes I'd have thought it was a 50/50. It was to me anyway.

Re: Ruthless's post ...

Or as a sufferer said in my presence when someone came out with that cliche (What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger)

... "Except Polio" That killed the conversation stone dead I can tell you ... until he started laughing anyway. Then a few joined in.
