    Thurman sounds like Sylvester the Cat.

    Perhaps, but Garcia will Be the One LISPING "Suffering Succotash", When it's All Said and Done...

    We will find out soon. My question is, after Danny wins, will he finally get the credit he deserves?

    REED Thinks Angel Garcia is MORE Responsible for Danny's LACK of "Respect" than Garcia Fans Care to Admit...

    REED Actually LIKES Danny, Himself...But the Combination of Danny and Angel is a Complete and Utter TURNOFF...To the Degree People Actually HOPE Danny Gets KO'ed, Just So his Ol' Man Will FINALLY SHUTthefuckUP...

    Garcia is sharp, short and compact and Thurman can swing a little wild and over commit so Garcia will have opportunities. I think he'll have moments but I think Thurman is just too quick and heavy handed. Thurmans not a true puncher but he's a good one. I think he stops Garcia late.

    I'd be shocked if Thurman stopped Garcia.

    I don't know why everybody keeps saying that. Khan was on his way to stopping Garcia. The only dangerous puncher Garcia has fought is Mathysse who couldn't sustain anything, Garcia gets hit and struggles with most decent fighters, and he's coming up in weight.

    Garcia is a pretty tough hombre. I like the over as most likely scenario. Holt could punch too

    Yeah...that aint happening. Garcia walked through the punches of Khan and Matthysse. The kid has a solid chin.

    :lol: Yeah. I noticed that a while back. There was a clip of Malignaggi coming into Thurman's press conference and absolutely clowning him from the back row (this is before Porter beat Paulie to a pulp.) Thurman looked stupid up there. All he could say was "Thtop duckin' me. Thun!!! Thtop duckin' me, Thun!!!"

    REED Doesn't Know if Khan was On his Way to STOPPING Garcia, but Khan was Definitely Lighting Garcia Up NICELY, Those 1st Couple Rounds...

    For Certain, it Appeared Garcia was on his Way Towards LOSING, and it's Going to Take MORE than Garcia's Patented Head Down, Eye's Closed, Winging Left Hook to Bail Him OUT of Trouble Against Thurman...

    If things hadn't turned around I don't see how Garcia lasts another 4 rounds. "Lit up" is the perfect phrase.

    There seems to be a lot of revisionism with that fight but I will say Garcia set up the punch that hurt Khan perfectly. But Thurman is smarter and more careful than Khan.

    This...

    Today, it's Thought of as an EASY, DOMINANT Win for Garcia, when it was Anything BUT That...Garcia Got "Lit Up" the First 2.5 Rounds, Started to Find his Range/Timing @ the Tail End of the 3rd and Ended Khan in the 4th, w/a Shot to the NECK...

    Not Only is Thurman Smarter and More Careful than Khan, Thurman's More SKILLFUL, Punches HARDER and Takes a BETTER Shot than Khan...

    The only thing is Khan throws quick combos without a lot of space in between where Thurman commits more and leaves space to be countered. That's Garcia's opportunity but I think Thurman is too quick for Garcia to do it consistently so Garcia has to hurt him.

    Thurman stopping Garcia isn't outta the realm of possible. Let's not act lIke Garcia is Jake Lamotta.

    But... Thurman's the one getting stopped tonight. Hope like FUCK that I'm wrong!

    No one is getting stopped. I can't see that scenario at all. This is a distance fight all but guaranteed and Thurman will win a clear decision.

    I want to see Angel Garcia in serious distress tonight.

    Now if Danny happened to get knocked out cold, does he play the loving father and stay with his son as he's loaded onto a gurney or does he pull a Randolph Duke (from "Trading Places") and continue his tough guy bullshit on his own toward Thurman. He's such a fucking twat that my money would be on the second option.

    guy beat the count clearly and while he was in distress, he wasn't staggering all over the place. Fans nowadays are such sissies that they want the ref to stop a fight as soon as a fighter is hurt,

    would the Mexican survive the round??? I dont think so, but if he made the effort to get to his feet, you should let him have the chance to fight out of this bad spot.

    Yeah, but I'm not sure how Berto gets an eliminator. He's 4-4 in the last 7 years.
