Comments Thread For: Keith Thurman Gets Split Decision Over Danny Garcia To Unify

Looks like no one progressed from this fight, winner was running around the ring for 2 rounds before that it was a slow pace with little action. The loser was chasing but not cutting off the ring and was hard to land clean but it wasn't due to onetimes D it was cause of Danny's own awkward style as he tried to make it even more awkward.. overall not the FOTY we all though it would be.

Runners? Or trying to bait his opponent into walking into something? Seriously dude he took the fight to Danny all but for 3 rounds where he was more defensive and counter punch minded. Like Danny wasn't on the back foot the vast majority of this fight.

You should watch the fight with your tv on next time.

Congratulations to Keith "One Time" Thurman, the NEW, unified welterweight champion of the world!

1) He out-boxed Garcia.
2) Landed the clearer shots
3) Landed the harder shots
4) Controlled the pace of the fight
5) Was the more aggressive fighter.

Garcia had no response for what Keith brought tonight, missing more than half his punches and looking lost in the ring many times.

That judge who scored it for Garcia should be banned, man is boxing corrupt.

Gratz champ, you did it my brother, God bless you and keep doing your thing my man, will always support you

I thought Garcia did enough to win. He shoulda been busier though, then they would have to give it to him. It was close, Thurman threw a lot more, but I don't know if he landed more in a lot of the rounds. Can't b*tch really. There isn't going to be an immediate rematch, but it might happen. Thurman is not facing Spence we know that. So, who else is there really? Khan, if he beats Pac, if Khan wins, that will happen for sure. If Pac wins, he isn't going to fight Thurman, so who else is there for Thurman?

Garcia did enough to win a loss, certainly not the fight

Leonard Hearns is a bit of an unfair standard. 2 of the greatest fighters in the history of the division in a fight that exceeded it's extremely high expectations. Can you think of a welterweight title fight in the 30 years prior to that fight that you felt was as good?

No its my favourite fight ever....but you miss the point , the point is these were two world champions fighting for the same titles and both of them are poor in comparison and thats why i said boxing has regressed...it has nothing to do with how good the fight was...its how the bar has gone lower for world champions...get my drift

Garcia is where he belongs with the other losers

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

Have you never watched him? That's how he always fights.

He usually engages more.

[Lagavulin62]

Well before you get all worked up score wise he had a good lead until he gave away the last 3 rounds. Thats going to catch up w him soon. That is not ******ed.

I don't know how people have it a draw or Garcia winning. Thurman clearly outboxed Garcia. IMO it seemed like Garcia was lost at points in the fight. Thurman threw the more telling punches as well. I had it 116-112. Thurman needs to work on his footwork some because at times it seems like when he ducks down to avoid a punch he's unbalanced.
