Good site. love it.Keep up the good work.What do we as fans need to do to keep this site POPPIN!
Robbery. Boxing is a rotten sport.
Is this the same Garcia who beated Matthysse?!?!?!
Looks like judges are bought by Danny Garcia’s team very poor judgment by the judges
I’M FRON PUERTO RICO AND I SAW THE MEXICAN HERRERA WINNING THE FIGHT SO CLEARLY, IT’S ASHEME THAT THOSE JUDGES DID NOT SEE THE FIGHT .
Fight was close but I thought Herrera won.
Sorry I lost the fight my fans. I was going to walk over and give Herrera my belt but my dad would have slapped me again. I don’t even feel like boxing any more but my dad makes me. :(
para mi esta pelea la perdió danny el mexicano mauricio herrera la gano fue muy claro estos jueces vendidos
yo no se que pelea tu viste o que droga estabas fumando pero Danny Garcia gano por lo menos siete rounds. conecto menos jabs que Herrera pero conecto con mas poder en todos los rounds menos el ultimo, Herrera tiraba jabs, si hubiera tirado mas combinaciones ganaba la pelea.
Why is this fight so hard to find and so lowly rated by the website? Is Haymon out there trying to cover this schooling up? I get the feeling there is some serious Danny bias going on in that fight review. Or maybe the low score is because the scoring was total garbage? Herrera made a fantastic showing for himself in this fight and broke Danny’s soul, as seen by him taking a fight in which he was 50/1 the favorite in his next unified defense against a kid moving up in weight with 3 knock outs, what a great champion huh…
Because Danny Garcia doesn’t want nobody to see this fight. …he was embarrassed for his shity performance and there was hometown cooking even the fans were booing the decision
If you really know about boxing !!! Read 1st off Danny Garcia is the champ! 2 this mexican fighter slightly did win the fight but at the end of the day you have to defeat the champ u cannot go all 12 rounds and slightly be beating him no!!! U have to actually beat him look at Marquez n PAC man same thing look at Canelo vs Laura same thing look at maidaina vs mayweather 1st fight same thing my point of view is when u get the shot againts the champ u either have to rock him or at least knock him down once other then that u will not defeat the champ at the end of the day that goes for all fighters out there and that’s how it’s always been same shit with UFC like that Jonny bones guy who got rocked by that white boy not long ago he still won the fight why??? Because he’s the champ and in order for him to loose u have to actually defeat them!!! Duhh
shove youre justified excuses up your a*s. Herrera is the real winner
Jabbing is a set up punch, Herrera barely threw combinations. Danny outlanded him in power punches every round except the last one, and that’s how he won this fight. Should’ve been closer, but clearly won nonetheless.
This kind of sloppy or crooked judging is why the UFC will bury boxing.
I agree with Dab. Boxing is totally corrupt these days. A wonderful profession has been in the dumps for many years. Boxing was once always on the front page when my dad was living. As a little kid I loved watching boxing with my dad. Now boxing only gets on the front page when a fight is very big. Football and baseball are always the front page of the sports pages. Herrera clearly won. The judges don’t know anything about boxing. While I’m at it is Arum stupid or in a power struggle with Mayfield’s people? Pac man wants to fight and finally Mayfield has given Paquiao the chance. We deserve this fight. This is another reason boxing is so corrupt.
Give the win to the guy who actually wins the fight. Garcia is a joke. He’s had some luck/cheating go his way. If he really won this fight, his dad would never move him down to fight a nobody. The fact is, Danny and his whole team lost confidence in him. They would never give him a fight against a lower quality opponent if he was doing well.
All Herrera does is kick everyone’s a*s. He beat Provodnikov and Garcia, Both heavy favorites and both overrated. I like Provodnikov better than Danny, Ruslan is a warrior. Herrera got robbeded again his last fight against Jose Benavidez. it was a clear robbery. the only guy that beat Herrera without any controversy was Alvarado.
Danny hasn’t really beaten any good fighter for the full fight. Against khan, Danny was getting killed. He found a lucky punch or it would have been an embarrassing night.
Matthysse was winning also, until his eye closed up. Another break for Garcia. That fight was still close, and Matthysse would have beaten Danny if he could see out of both eyes.
Zab Judah is far beyond his best. he came back and gave Garcia a scare in the last few rounds.
this fight Danny lost, plain and simple. the next decent fighter Garcia fights will clean his clock. Danny is overdue for a spanking. I can name 20 guys that can beat Danny right now. His dad knows it also, that’s why he matched Danny with a cupcake last fight……..
danny lost this fight clearly….
HERRERA WON F*CK IT
wtf
i will tell u why Garcia nearly lost the herrera fight people because danny thinks he is fighting a young angel Garcia (his father) lookalike. he didn’t wana hurt him you can tell by the punches he was throwin That’s how danny Garcia head is thinking I bet ya
ok why are people saying Herrera won? Herrera caused close rounds by jabbing, but he didn’t throw many combinations, and he certainly didn’t do enough to dethrone the champion… Yes, Herrera outjabbed Danny all night, but jabs don’t hurt your opponents as they are a set up punch… Power punches actually score you rounds and Garcia outlanded Herrera in power punches in all rounds except the last one… unbiased fan here, and it was a very boring fight, a lot of close rounds, but the champion usually gets the close rounds. I saw it 115-113 Garcia. (winning rounds 1,2,6,7,8,10,11) Peace
Herrera gave him a boxing lesson. Terrible hometown decision. Mauricio completely schooled Danny, and it wasn’t very close. 8-4 for Herrera.
If this fight didn’t happen in PR who there was no way they were going to give DSG an L Herrera beat him with a soft jab and actually backed him up ….the crowd was booing Dsg when they announced the decision
