Wait... are people trying to use Danny's face being busted up as evidence that he lost

You can't be serious

Why do you think nikkas like Farhood, Fat Dan, Kevin Iole, Lou Dibella N other media guys had draws or no problem with the decision??

Like I said I haven't seent it on TV yet...there were no one in my section or after the fight really mad bout the decision...even NSB has been easy on this decision

Im legit confused usually the media would be on Danny's ass...usually NSB would be on Danny's ass...people in attendance would be booing the decision N screaming robbery leaving the event

The people in the crowd did boo the decision it sounded like over the TV airwaves

No breh...none of us can argue against Sugar Ray's interpretation of Ring Generalship and great footwork/movement. That's like arguing Floyd on what a pull counter is or how to effectively use the Shoulder Roll.

I was watching the same fight SRL SSM were.

Okay, I'm back for my initial thoughts and takeaways on the fights.

The Quillin-Lee fight was a good one. Quillin started off very strong and was practically dominating the fight. The people in my section (couple of CACs) were like This dude Lee was essentially circling around Peter's left and eating rights every single time. It was looking like Quillin was gonna get the stoppage Lee turned the tide in the 2nd half. When Peter got dropped, the arena went wild. I laughed my ass off when they called it a draw. I had Quillin winning though (barely) as he did enough in the beginning to edge it out, especially with the 2 KDs (even though the 2nd one should've been a slip, Quillin was stepping on Lee's foot when he threw the punch). And every time they exchanged, Quillin got the best of him. Don't have a problem with the draw though

As for the main event; it was a tough one (one that had me a bit disappointed). But I had Garcia edging it out. I give Lamont a ton of credit, especially since I've said I don't think he's that good. He had a gameplan, and it seemed to work out. Problem is he did it too late. As many said, he did very little to earn himself the early rounds. He frustrated Danny with his movement no doubt, and definitely made him miss a ton. But he was barely throwing himself. You'll never hear me use the term running, so I'm not gonna use that term, But rather he wasn't active enough. And what are you guys talking about with Peterson's jab? Some of yall act like he was really sticking it to him with a jab ala Herrera. That was not the case at all, he threw a couple jabs and many of them didn't even land. Oh, and I love how nobody even mentioned the endless amount of times Peterson was pulling Swift's head down . The 2nd half was damn near all Peterson though. He was landing real meaningful shots. Garcia was gassed, and his power just wasn't there.

Personally, I thought Peterson lost it more than Danny won. Had he done a bit more in the 1st half, I would have given him the W. I wouldn't have a problem with a Draw either. Then again, I didn't do a round by round score right then and there (when I'm seeing a fight live, I don't do that. I taped the fight though, so I'll watch them a 2nd time. Either way, I'm still disappointed in Swift's performance. He escaped with a W (in my eyes) but it wasn't pretty at all. I don't know if he was drained or if Lamont 's performance made him look that way, but it was poor. And the way he gassed in the later half has me worried.

Makes me wonder how he'll do at 147. Unlike everybody else on here, I don't think he'll be food at Welterweight. But that doesn't mean I think he'll be a world beater either at that level. It really depends on who they match him up with. The one thing he has going for him is that most of the guys at 147 aren't legit Welterweights. It's mostly smaller guys that came up from 140 just like Swift.

Quick question friend, how did you score Lara/Canelo :cmsas2:

Evidence of Lamont landing in the first couple rounds. Garcia was leaking already by round 3

 

[Master Teacher]

what im saying is just because sugar ray is the 3rd best boxer of all time doesnt mean he cant be wrong.


He thinks that peterson was effectively using the ring, but i think the nikka should have let his hands go more often looks like the judges agreed and truth be told most judges also agree that not being the aggressor AND only throwing the occasional jab is not enough to win rounds.

Peterson was effectively using the ring because he controlled the fight, he made danny fight his fight

danny was looking off balance at times he was throwing, he was getting beat up really

lmao, it's called damage, his face wasn't busted up from one punch, he was taking damage the entire fight lol

lennox lewis voice "just look at the state of his face"

The jab was landed all the night that's why he his face looks like he was beating up because he was

Yep.

There's no point in bringing up power punches being landed, to discredit Lamont Peterson, when those "power punches" didn't cause any damage. Like you said, only Garcia was busted up and taking damage the entire fight

But he ran those rounds

 

[H.I.M.]

115-114 Garcia

What's all the hubub about?

Pete definitely dominated down the stretch tho...he wasn't landing enough in the early rds to have those rds scored for him outside of the 3rd & 4th.

In the 2nd half of the fight i had him winning the last 3 rds and that's it. Fight could've went either at the most. No robbery here.

And Pete looked a little too fresh in the closing rds considering how much energy he exerted in each rd.

That was basically due to one punch tho... Pete landed a clean ass counter right in the 2nd which caused the cut.

Swifts face is always a mess after fights

They say his eye was swole by a headbutt

Yup that's what happens when you begin the land the jab how he was you don't even need to throw it after a while and the other fighter will still be off balance because he isn't fully setting up to throw because he is anticipating the jab.

Like I said earlier from a boxing standpoint this was a best performance of Peterson's career. He took everything Judah/Khan/Herrera gave Danny issues with and adjusted shyt for his style. I don't even fukk with PEDerson like that but that was a great win, he deserved that decision.

Did you hear boos for the kid choc Lee draw??

Just because his face was busted up doesn't mean damage was caused. You do realize every person bruises differently right?

You guys must be dark skinned. Because if not, you would (or at least should) already know that light skinned (or in Danny's case because he's not Black, fair skinned) people get bruised and busted up more easily. Regardless of whether or not they were really hurt. Just look at guys like Miguel Cotto and Keith Thurman (both light skinned). They're face always looks busted up whether they win or lose or if they took actual damage or not. Did you see Thurman's face after he fought Leonard Bundu? He looked messed up, and Bundu never landed anything powerful.

shyt, do remember what Ruslan Provodnikov's face looked like after his fight with Timothy Bradley

Now go ahead and remind me of the "damaging" punches Bradley threw, because I don't remember any All the meaningful punches came fron Prov

Just goes to show you the busted face logic is dumb as hell
