It was a first round knock out, so proud to hear that at least we have a champion. For sure the future looks very bright for the Dave and hopefully he will continue the torch for Philippine boxing.

Here is the final weigh in, both makes the desired weight:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jOehy73TD8

Garcia - 152¾  lbs
Benavidez - 153¾ lbs

Danny Garcia is still the huge favorite in this fight. I will not be surprised if he wins by a late stoppage or even with a knock out win. His left is still will be his favorite go to weapons. And winner of this fight will probably continue with this journey. While the loser will obviously have a hard time getting into the scene again.

He may feel sorry for a lot of things and I think this is the way he apologizes, he had a long rest after that Manny Pacquiao fight we can not say that his totally back after just one fight that is why this is fight with Omar Figueroa Jr. will settle it, He just got many things inside his head, but I think he's thankful enough for letting him come back again,  I think all the shit on his past he surely feels sorry about it, from thinking and posting on Instagram pictures hinting Suicidal thoughts, from chocking a waitress, knocking out an agitating fan,  sexually assaulting a woman, well maybe he feels sorry about it,


In my assessment of the video, Danny Garcia's smiling may indicate that he is nervous, and the way he does such things maybe him nervous or I could be wrong because it indicates two emotions, excitement, and nervousness, while Jose Benevidez Jr.'s smiles an evil grin, he surely is calm and collected and really focus on the fight ahead, for this fight I see Benevidez in a different perspective but Danny Garcia is a heavy favorite,

Danny Garcia VS Joseph Benavidez

Stake Odds for this fight were 1.13 for Garcia while 5.80 for Benavidez I think I'll be siding with the heavy favorite, my pick is Danny Garcia,

For the fans of Danny Garcia and Jose Benavidez, here is the first face off:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU_1RNUxRik

Danny Garcia seems to be relax and just smiling, not sure if he is nervous, but seems to be very happy to be back in the limelight again.

Garcia still the outstanding favorite in his fight, 1.13, Benavidez 5.80.

The over 10.5 is 1.43, under is 2.75.

Regarding the AB press conference and how he bad mouth Showtime and Al Haymon, he has somewhat back track everything,

He seems to know who is his friends is and who he should attack, Showtime and PBC has been helping him since then, he shouldn't bad mouth those two companies and he knows that it might back fire on him in the future that's why he has to make this apology.

Well, at least I have seen it, and right now for me I still think that Danny Garcia is more technical than Jose Benavidez Jr. and Danny Garcia really has a great form this is my opinion regarding the highlights these both fighters have shown, well I see Benadivez really has good reach and timing for a punch, but I still think Garcia is more technical and those crazy strengths he can pull releasing those left hook, was really devastating,


I think the kid will make his weight there is still plenty of time to prepare but he needs a good nutritionist to lose weight, it is easy for a boxer to lose weight but to gain weight is a different story well this is just my opinion regarding the fact, I know that there would be some that will say it is easy to gain weight than to lose it aswell, well it will surely depend on the person's metabolism and the case of Ryan Garcia he is really skinny and I think he has difficulty in gaining weight, for this fight, I think I like Gervonta Davis Jr, to win this but still, Garcia can always come on top,

Going down in weight is very much easy for Garcia, I think he can make it.

The problem is with the network, both are in the two opposing, DAZN and Showtime, and according to Oscar they could make the fight happen if both of this two network are willing. But it seems that for now Showtime doesn't like the idea or maybe even DAZN. So we will see how Oscar and Floyd are going to work this one out for the fans.

Regarding the much anticipated fight between Davis and Ryan Garcia, Tank said or at least his promotion, Floyd Mayweather that he is not going to fight Ryan at 135 lbs. So Ryan needs to go down to 135 lbs since his last 2 fights where in the limit of 140 lbs. For sure he can still make this weight and schedule the fight this December or early next year so that we will see who is the best in the 135 lbs and then Garcia can move on to 140 lbs if he wanted to.

Oh no problem mate, yeah you did add the whole undercard in the fight.

The fight is pretty much stack up I would say and overall good supporting fight. And for sure this fight is going to sell a lot of tickets. Garcia has big fights in Barclays and he has the support of the Puerto Rican boxing fans. Nevertheless, he will be up against one of the best underrated puncher in Benadivez Jr so we will see who will get it first, his left hook or Benavidez Jr straight right.

Oh! sorry, I haven't noticed your post, but I have added the whole fight event if anyone is interested because I am also interested in seeing Adam Kownacki VS Ali Eren Demirezen fight because after Adam Kownacki lost to Robert Helenius last year he recovered from the 2 consecutive lost he attained, and Demirezen is quite the guy with a great record,

And Jose Benavidez Jr. to Terence Crawford, with a TKO win, I think he really needs to pull himself up but I guess Benevidez Jr. for me needs more experience in fighting well-known guys, but surely this is a kind of bout I am interested to watch,


I agree he should stay in the division that would likely he can dominate, but maybe he wanted more, but for me, I think that Benevidez Jr, has the upper hand with power, but I guess Danny Garciathe  has the upper hand when it comes to experience he can win this if he can fight wisely, getting all of his arsenals on the fight, Garcia is already at 34 to the 30 Benevidez, but I think Garcia still got that speed, and technique, he just needs to be more technical in their fight,

Funny Broner as usual. But he's got a point though. Even with Covid, actual face-to-face press conferences are happening like Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serano, Canelo-Bivol, and Shakur-Valdez. Maybe PBC and Showtime consider this fight as not-so-big of a fight that is why there was no face-to-face press conference. Broner can relax and still wear his press conference outfit though during fight week. I'm watching this fight and I hope it's still entertaining.


I'm watching this fight too. Both are inactive. Benavidez fought last year but was clearly out of his prime after a 3-year layoff. He barely made it a draw against a nobody. Danny Garcia is also inactive for more than a year but I expect him to be more fresher than Benavidez. I felt bad for Benavidez career. He used to be a very very promising prospect. I don't know how it was possible but he did turn professional when he was only 17 years old. Maybe it was his ego and his lifestyle that he failed to become a world champion. Or maybe he would've become a world champion if he was with PBC during his 20s. Too bad he was with Top Rank together with the boogeyman. Terrence Crawford mercilessly annihilated him into oblivion.

I'm surprised Kownacki is fighting someone with a good record after his back-to-back knockout losses. This should be a good one with both men can knockout each other.

True. He loses the advantage at 140 in going up 154. His loses comes from the remarkable fighters which he really is good at 140. It might be different this time with 154 but he still have the advantage since Benavidez has a knee injury which is a bit of a disadvantage climbing at 154. Makes sense for Garcia to move to superwelther though.

For me, Kownacki VS Demirezen is a more interesting fight than the main event.

I don't think that he can also thrive in this division, he is good at 140-147 but I would say that fighting big guys, he was exposed and his left hook was not that effective anymore.

Maybe he will have a edge in talent, but power Benavidez is +1 for me.

As for his father, I do agree, both father trainer has a big mouth, so just imagine if both Lopez and Garcia fought and their fathers taking the limelight because of their loud mouth.

^^I agree, Garcia was one of the best welterweight in his prime, become a champion and if I'm not mistaken, lost the belt to Spence. So we will see both fighters that I would say still have some in their tank in 154 lbs specially for Danny "Swift" Garcia who is going up in another division to maybe chase another belt. I think though he bet Porter, he has really very choosy on that fight, not letting his hands go but when he does, it usually was in target. But we all know how Porter his, swarming his opponents and then throwing volume punches and that is enough for the judges to give him a close win. So hopefully Garcia again can renew his career at this division. I don't like his Father though, him and Teo Sr.

Yeah saw this one, hehehhe, the typical Broner, but it was really comical and once he open his mouth, even the host is laughing at him. At least he is still trying to sell this fight, and probably Al Haymon and Espinoza is also chuckling when they watch this press conference.

@YuginKadoya - Yes, I posted about the Danny Garcia fight here,

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.60466186

Seems like everyone forget about him already hehehe, as he lost to 3 of the best WW we have right now, Spence, Thurman and Porter.

I hope that Manny can take action, boxing really needs a boxer as iconic as him, above all I would like him to have that great well-deserved rematch with Mayweather, that for me that fight was very unfair, and something controversial where there is many things that were not clear to me, and where clearly the judges seemed to me to be very biased, perhaps at that time it was convenient for him to win and not a Filipino, because to speak truthfully, what Mayweather did was run around the ring and get behind each technical gesture taking advantage of his height, which is not very pleasant.Although I think the only thing these two can do for now is exhibition fights.

All information was from TAPOLOGY

And this is the video for those who are very interested to see his reactions:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIvORM8lUzs

And as explain by Brian, he said that this is the protocol since we are still in Covid. But it seems that AB didn't know that. But yeah, reaction is very funny, typical of Broner, so win or lose you gonna love him for saying things like this in public and then can't back up his words in the actual fight.

Lol, this is a slap to Broner's face and yeah it was a bitch move being pulled by Al Haymon and Espinoza, 

Anyhow, Broner should understand that he is no longer the A-Side of any of the fights moving forward, (well this could be his last one). So he should understand it, I think this is just the beginning of the press conference?

And if I'm not mistaken, Kambosos was also done this way because obviously, he is in Australia and then Haney was still back in the US that time.

I can really imagine his face and how furious he was when he found out that their press conference will just happen online rather than face-to-face. I can see that he's so itching to say his script and act like a clown the whole time Broner was totally devastated and felt disrespected about this because he ranted about Mayweather's fight against a YouTuber.
