Garcia vs Peterson: Final Predictions

A pick em as in Garcia would be pickin his ass off the canvas.

And Brook would do a number on Garcia. Garcia doesn't rush in like Porter which would give Brook even more time to operate.

 

Winnable fights for Garcia are Rios, Broner, Maidana, and a Khan rematch.

 

Lee-Quillin did nothing but prove that Golov has ZERO competition at middleweight. I mean, in all honesty, GGG could take out Lee and Quillin on the same night.

 

Garcia is not an old feather fisted career junior lightweight like Guerrero... Garcia took Matthysse's best shots and never fell, he can handle Thurman's power

 

Brook hasn't "done a number" on anybody remotely good

 

So far Thurman has looked more showy than effective, whereas Garcia is the opposite of him, a solid all-around guy with no exceptional abilities. So far I'd pick Garcia since Thurman is totally different from Lamont, but it would be a very interesting fight

 

What a horrible fight. Like I keep saying, Garcia is a freaking bum.

 

I think Guerrero woulda been more competitive against Garcia than he was against Thurman.

Not saying he would have won. But I think he woulda had more moments against Garcia in a losing effort.

And Thurman has a different style than Matty Ice. Whilst Thurman doesn't have the raw power of Mattyhsse, he can, unlike Lucas, nail Garcia with some shots he doesn't see....... which of course is what hurts guys.

Wouldn't be at all shocked if Garcia did go the distance, but I think he gets beaten clearly. Thurman would be too quick for him.

You guys are overrating the Hell outta Garcia's skill set. He's a SOLID guy, but he has plenty of technical problems.

I give him a chance against Thurman. But at this point, I think it's just your Thurman dislike calling it a pick em. Thurman should be a solid favorite over Garcia.

 

He was pretty effective beating the Hell outta Guerrero. And also pretty effective at stopping Diego Chaves. The same Chaves that Rios struggled with, and who Bradley looked pretty average against.

The Thurman hate on FB is strong.

Not to sound like Neil - but I think Errol Spence would likely pick Thurman apart.

But Thurman could do a number on Garcia.

 

I'd only make Thurman a favourite based on him being a WW and Garcia a 140 pounder.

 

Garcia has outgrown 140. But might be a tad too small for welter.

 

Yeah he's an awkward size, he's always looked like a fairly big 140 pounder, but seems undersized for a welterweight.

 

Which is why Broner at a catchweight makes the most sense.

I think that would be an exciting fight.

 

In today's welterweight division, he should be alright with his size. Other than Mayweather, Pacquiao, Brook, or Thurman, I think he beats those other guys. I'd mention Errol Spence but I see him ending up at 154 anyway.

Now if this was the 90s era of welterweights... Garcia would not fit in AT ALL.

 

Fucks sake............Old Man Peter was walking Garcia down at one point.

What did Pops Garcia have to say after the fight.

At one point?

Peterson was walking him down the entire duration of the late rounds.

In a way, Peterson only has himself to blame.

He pulled the opposite of what Lara did against Canelo.

Lara schooled Canelo early, then ran and coasted late.

Peterson coasted early, then put his foot on the pedal and beat Garcia up late.

Peterson should have put his foot on the pedal from the start, cause honestly it didn't seem like Garcia could do fuck all with Lamont's style, which surprised me.

Seems to me like if Peterson would have been aggressive from the jump he woulda totally outclassed Danny.

And speaking of Lara-Canelo, Garcia cuts off the ring WORSE than Canelo does!!

 

Garcia isn't a walk-him-down type of guy. He's the sort of guy who likes to time guys and catch them. Peterson didn't let him do that early and then I think Garcia was too fucked to take advantage of the openings later on.

As for Andy Lee, the guy should be a much more popular TV fighter.

All this BS I used to read about Gerry Cooney....Lee is White, Irish, has power, and an entertaining style. Should be all over the fucking TV and promoted to death.

Instead he is coming over to England this Summer to fight some schmuck called BJ Saunders.

Lee made 154 for the Jackson fight. Lee would fuck Canelo up.

Lee's chin is so mediocre that I doubt that.

I'm not high on Canelo at all, but Canelo is much better at putting together combinations than Quillin.

 

This "His chin is mediocre" thing needs revising.

His chin is basic and average and he gets hit a lot. He's too easy to hit, and way too easy to hit for a guy with his physical gifts and traits.

Also..I am not sure if the spectre of fat-faced Canelo huffing and puffing trying to put away a 40 year old Shane Mosley is anything for Lee to get worried over.

Canelo puts together his boxing-by-numbers combos and then stands there looking for a breather.

I think Lee would time him and stop him.

 

Garcia is AVERAGE......he look like complete clueless shit last nite...he still won 7-5....but also Lamont was 160+ at fight time...

I say it again if Garcia wants to improve he needs another trainer...how the FUCK he beat Matthysee I will never know...

 

Styles. Look how useless Garcia is when faced by a guy with mojo and workrate, or a guy like Judah who actually knows how to box a bit.

Khan was bot-boxing him until he got nailed- but Garcia is an excellent finisher and has a legit left hook if he can land it.

 

I think Lee would be the tallest guy Canelo has faced if they fought.

If Lee's on it his length and jab could give Canelo fits. I agree that Lee could time him with bombs too and have him in trouble. Canelo really isn't that good and Lee, who isn't great by any means, is a tough guy with tons of guts and belief.

 

Garcia needs a crude guy who's gonna come straight to him. Like Rios. Or a guy like Broner who's gonna stand in front of him, and who doesn't have much pop at 140.

The fact that he faded so badly is pretty alarming though. Broner and Rios are nothing special, but they don't really have stamina problems.

 

Lee's jab was non existent yesterday. He and Quillin were both doing this range finder reach shit with no intention of actually landing the jab.

 

Boner wants Garcia next.

 

Don't get me wrong - Lee has the physical tools to beat Crapnelo. Height, length, southpaw with a potent right hook. But Lee has never really properly used his physical gifts, and he's easy to hit.

Ginger SEEMS to have a solid chin. Hopefully Kirkland tests it more next month. Check that, hopefully Kirkland beats the shit outta him.

 

true, they were both very cagey. Booth must have told him to use his jab because he started to double it up, but not often. It would be a weapon if he used it more.

 

Canelo ::

He's a small fat bum that does the Gatti Weight Trick and fights old, handpicked guys.

Lara beat the shit out of him and the only people that try to say that Canelo did really well are people like bigdawg, looking for Floyd Proxy Wins.
