Keith “One Time” Thurman and
Danny “Swift” Garcia’s 147 pound title melee will be going down this weekend
(March 4th) at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Both Danny and Keith will put
their unblemished records on the line to capture the WBA and WBC welterweight
banners.
One will walk away with belts strapped on his
midriff while the other will go home with nothing but a messed up record.
This match is genuinely tough to
call. Both are nasty and skillful artists.
But I believe Thurman will be a
better operator. This is going to be his show.
Keith knows the drill; A brief
introduction of himself to Danny in early rounds.
Thurman will then decide to get
done with the bizz in mid rounds.

“I look at Keith and I’m going towards him right now, ”I’ve been watching over and over tapes of their fights, previous fights, and what have you. Again, they each bring something to the table. Keith Thurman, to me, seems to be a little bit more fundamentally sound than Danny Garcia. Danny Garcia, by the way, has a neutralizer. He has a powerful left hook. But one thing that I think is a big factor for the fight itself is both guys have great chins. They both can take punches. So put it this way, I wouldn’t bet my house on this fight.”
Freddie Roach (Trainer) - Thurman
“That’s a good fight. I like Thurman in that fight. Yeah,
that’s a very good fight. I’ll watch that fight.”
Amir Khan (Boxer) – Garcia
"I just don't think that Thurman's fought anyone who is dangerous...” “From what I've seen, I've not really been impressed. He's good at knocking out bums and tin cans ... he's not really beat a big name or anything."
Mikey Garcia (WBO Super Featherweight titlist) - Garcia
“I think it’s a good fight. I think Danny pulls it off. Danny finds a way to win. Close but he finds a way to win. I think it goes the distance. Thurman is a big, strong guy. Danny is a strong guy. Danny takes a good punch; Thurman takes a good punch. I think it goes the distance.”
Abel Sanchez (Trainer) – Garcia
“I don’t
really think that much of Thurman,” “Honestly I’ve never thought that much of
Thurman. I think that Danny Garcia is the better fighter, maybe the smaller
fighter, but I see Danny winning – in spite of his father. [Luis] Collazo, a
couple other fights, Diego Chaves, that I saw Thurman, I wasn’t impressed by
him. This ‘One Time’ Thurman thing is a myth. So, I see Danny winning.”Adam Booth (Trainer/Manager) - Thurman
It’ll be a very good fight. Danny Garcia is an excellent all-round operator but I go with Keith Thurman because I like him very much. He’s very athletic. If he makes the weight sensibly – he’s a very big guy – I believe he’ll carry the edge in power.
I felt Danny Garcia was very lucky to receive the decision when he fought Lamont Peterson. Thurman is every bit as good as Peterson technically and far more dangerous.
Frank Warren (Promoter) – Thurman
It’s a great unification fight for the fans and BoxNation subscribers. Boxing needs more fights such as this between the elite guys so big respect to both fellas for stepping up and putting their reps, belts and unbeaten records on the line. The styles should mesh well. I lean slightly to Thurman. Garcia is a solid all rounder but I’ve never been overly impressed. Thurman is a very big welter and, if can still remain strong at the weight, I think he wins. He punches very hard.
Robert Garcia (Trainer) – Thurman
“Thurman vs Garcia is a very even
fight. “ “Garcia always has a way to win, he always finds a way to win and a
lot of people count him out be he finds a way to win.”
“I pick Thurman but it won’t be easy,
and I won’t be surprised if Garcia pulls it out, but my pick is Thurman.”
