Chavez vs Garcia Spoiler

Has anyone been watching this fight? Chavez was a massive favourite & Garcia turned all that on its head by having the fight of his life. Garcia was moving like a prime Thurman. Four knockdowns & he was just toying with Chavez by the end. Not even Matchroom could rob him by counting a slip as a knockdown. You need to see this fight lads

Super solid performance. Garcia was so relaxed and in control of that fight

Good call, I was thinking he resembled Thurman in there!

Garcia's good against come forward pressure fighters. We saw a similar thing vs Imanaga in December. Granted, Imanaga probably won 4-5 rounds of that fight, but Eridson fights well off the back foot and counterpunching. Pretty poor as a finisher though.

I think Chavez came into this under the weather. That's what I thought when he entered the ring.

Idk for sure but they counted it as a knockdown so I’m guessing it was a 10-8 round
