It's beyond me how anyone can score this fight for Garcia.
1) Not only did Herrera control the fight with his jab, if you watch closely he got the better of Danny in exchanges (left hooks, rights, etc).
2)There was a point where Herrera would throw and land a power punch to open some rounds; they went unnoticed because Herrera's not a big puncher (fighting in PR didn't help either).
3)Herrera's known for getting marked up. His face was relatively clean, especially the right side; with the left hook being Danny's favorite and most reliable punch, that speaks volumes.
4)Herrera controlled the fight going either forward or backwards.

After the first 6 rounds, I seem to remember them having Harrera two rounds up or something like that. Noway, it was as even as it gets after 6.
Garcia consistently landed the more accurate and the harder shots throughout the fight, whereas Harrera had the better jab and was busier but in the last 3 rounds, Garcia really took it home and it looked like Harrera was catching his breath.
Like I said, I can see it going to Harrera by a tight margin or as a draw, which probably would have been the outcome if fights were scored in their entirety, rather than round by round.
Or, maybe you are just confused about which fighter is which. Let me help you with that. The fighter with the busted nose and swollen face, who was holding on and running at the end of the fight was Danny Garcia. Herera was the fighter who had one small scratch under his left eye and who brought relentless pressure throughout the fight, particularly in round 12, when he landed 32 punches.
Herera is the one who landed clean punches, and surprisingly the more damaging ones as well.
Herera's jab landed with more authority and power than any punch Garcia landed all night.
Check it out again and remember who's who. Remember, the guy being backed up and jabbed to death is Garcia.

Landslide poll. If GBP/Schaefer/Garcia had an ounce of decency in them, they'd recognize and realize there should be an immediate rematch. But instead they're just going to pretend this fight never happened.
