基思·瑟曼驳回了丹尼·加西亚的叫喊,对他在对小埃罗尔·斯宾塞的比赛中的表现进行了评论:“他感谢上帝,他没有被击倒。”

基思·瑟曼不记得他和丹尼·加西亚的对决有多激烈。尽管两人在2017年的选举中有分歧,但瑟曼认为他主导了两人的竞争。
不管他的信仰如何,加西亚还是把他叫了出来。本月早些时候,这位费城人向拳击界宣布,他147磅的体重已经正式结束,他打算以154磅的体重上限战斗。虽然瑟曼不打算和他一起加入Jr的中量级,但加西亚还是把瑟曼叫了出来。
“我觉得我的职业生涯的下一个篇章是154岁,”加西亚在接受南箱电台埃里克·凯利的采访时说。“我要打几场架,闯进来。我和瑟曼54岁还能打。”
在瑟曼看来,无论他们在哪里战斗,结果都会和他们第一次对决时一样。
瑟曼在接受fight type采访时表示:“他在140分的时候很慢,所以这不会改变什么。”“我不知道丹尼是怎么想的,也不知道有什么人支持他提升自己的体重,让我出局。就叫体重男孩吧。”
对加西亚来说,他147磅的生活在一阵呜咽中结束了。这位前两级世界冠军被统一的次中量级冠军小埃罗尔·斯宾塞彻底击败。
瑟曼承认,他仔细观看了比赛,但他也承认,他对加西亚当晚的表现感到失望。当这位费城本地人向每个人保证他尽其所能去赢得比赛时,瑟曼却看到了完全不同的东西。在他看来,加西亚只是很高兴看到最后的钟站直了。
直到最后五秒钟,他才松开了手。他立刻感谢上帝,他没有被击倒。他很有戒心,不想放开他的手。我觉得他有点胆小。我觉得他爸爸想让他在整场比赛中多打几拳。他对斯宾思的防守很好,但他的手还没松开。”
Keith Thurman doesn’t recall his showdown against Danny Garcia being particularly close. Despite the split decision victory in 2017, Thurman believes he dominated their contest. Regardless of his belief, that hasn’t stopped Garcia from calling him out. Earlier this month, the Philadelphia native announced to the boxing world that his time at 147 pounds had officially come to an end as he intends on fighting at the 154-pound weight limit. Although Thurman has no intention of joining him in the Jr middleweight division, that hasn’t stopped Garcia from calling him out. “I feel like the next chapter in my career is at 154,” said Garcia during an interview with Eric Kelly on SouthBox Radio. “I’ll do a couple of fights and break myself in. Me and Thurman could fight at 54.” In Thurman’s opinion, it doesn’t matter where they fight, the outcome will be identical to the first time they faced off. “He was slow at 140 so that ain’t gonna change nothing,” said Thurman during an interview with FightHype. “I don’t know what Danny thinks or what benefactors he has in moving up in weight and calling me out. Just make weight boy.” For Garcia, his time at 147 pounds comes to an end on a whimper. The former two-division world champion was thoroughly outboxed and outmuscled by unified welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr. Thurman admitted that he watched their contest carefully but he also confessed that he was disappointed in what he saw from Garcia on the night. While the Philadelphia native reassures everyone that he did everything in his power to win, Thurman saw something completely different. In his opinion, Garcia was simply happy to see the final bell while standing upright. “He didn’t let his hands go until five seconds at the end. He thanked God right away that he didn’t get knocked out. He was being very defensive and didn’t want to let his hands go. I think he was a little timid. I think his dad was trying to get him to throw more punches the whole fight. He was in good position on Spence but he didn’t let his hands go.”
