I wouldnt even call what Danny Garcia does "counterpunching"

[intoccabile]

No your the idiot. Lucas was winning the first half of the fight. Angel knew. Go back and watch boy.

This. Lucas was winning pretty soundly in my book. He was slipping the hook at will and was doing a really good job landing a straight and ducking the hook. Things went south pretty fast, though.

how many guys does garcia have to drop with the same punch before people stop calling it lucky?

I think he should embrace it and start calling himself Lucky Garcia
F the haters

[frosty-g]

Don't mean to call shots but anyone saying good post or agreeing just doesn't know what they are talking about..

A counterpunch in generally a punch thrown to counteract your opponents own punch whether it's thrown after your opponent misses or while he is throwing a punch. I understand your post was meant to sort of down Garcia but in actuality it shines a light on something he does very well.

Yep you're right but people just don't seem to get it because they hear the term "countering" and use it as a umbrella term

What Marquez sparked Pacquiao with is the epitome of a counterpunch for anyone not clear

Parrying a jab and replying with a right hand, for example, is counter attacking

[B-Bomber]

He does counter , his left hook to counter a right hand is his favorite counter, and it works.

His problem more than countering is defense .

He is not a pure boxer, he is more of an aggressive counter puncher, eager to eat some shot to get mid range and land his trademark left hook.

In other words, he's not about the sweet science , hit and not get hit . His mentality is a brawler mentality, but he does counter punch.

khan beats garcia in a rematch imho

[MindBat]

I would call it "Closed Eye Hooking".

Other than "Hail Mary", you can also call it the "Fuuk It" punch.

It's been quite ffective to be called his "money punch".

Danny Garcia is a counter puncher. Throwing with your opponent is counter punching, esp when ur throwing hooks and they are throwing jabs. This is boxing, there's little to no luck involved in it. It's all styles at the top, and Garcia's style is very effective for him. He has excellent timing and a great power and chin to go along with it. Hes going to be a top fighter for quite some time. Deal with it.

Excellent post bro....green

The term is "HIT n HOPE"

[Mr. Philadel]

"Iwouldn't even call what .... Etc..." <---- That's the problem
Your'e under the impression that your opinion holds some sort of weight.. IT DOESN'T ! . Wether you consider it to be counter punching or not does change the fact that IT IS! the fact that you're trying to even argue that fact shows how little you know about the sport... I'm sure you know all the "players" but you need to brush up on the game.

School is in session!!...solid post!!

[Wizardsh]

Garcia name shouldn't ever be in same sentence that Marquez is mentioned, *s*h*i*t* is insulting to Marquez, Garcia counter punching skills are mediocre on his best day
