Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2016-01-23, some good exchanges between Danny Garcia and Robert Guerrero but it is not enough to get three stars: it gets two.The undefeated former Wbc light-Ww champion Danny Garcia entered this fight with a perfect boxing record of 31-0-0 (18 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.7 welterweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Manny Pacquiao). He fought twice last year winning over Lamont Peterson (=Garcia vs Peterson) and Paul Malignaggi (=Garcia vs Malignaggi).
His opponent, the former world champion in four different weight classes Robert Guerrero, has an official record of 33-3-1 (18 knockouts) and he entered as the No.21 in the same weight class. He also fought twice in 2015 losing to Keith Thurman (=Thurman vs Guerrero) but then he came back to win against Aaron Martinez (=Guerrero vs Martinez). Garcia vs Guerrero is valid for the vacant WBC World welterweight title. Watch the video and rate this fight!

Not a bad fight at all, Garcia is really a great boxer! Some great leather to the face from Guerrero, but I am stunned he thought he won by going from corner to corner after the fight, but maybe he did it for very welcome showmanship. Boxing needs confident guys and characters.
It might be a cliché, but I can’t wait to see Garcia do bigger and greater things :) More offensive too, he needs to be.
Garcia has some great features. I like him too. He risks really minimally and his boxing is not spectacular but concrete. It looks that he has exceptional stamina and can take punches everywhere but, wisely, he tries to avoid them. In this reminds me the young Hagler.In the offensive part I would like to see something more. The kind of boxer that makes the minimum to win looking boring against average fighters and surprisingly strong against the top ones. I am following his career with great interest.
I agree. I wasn’t high on Garcia before this fight, but this performance definitely caught my interest.
I want to see him in a 50/50 fight now. Preferably against Amir Khan.
He already knock Khan out cold it’s how he got famous.
Khan is the number 1 contender and mandatory for the WBC belt that Garcia just won though. They will have to fight sooner or later.
Khan better hit the weight room.
Danny Garcia is under rated,
Very
Im guessing the quality of the video altered what I saw beacuse guerrero looked like he won 2 rounds, 3 at the most! Garcia was a smooth operator in there
Let’s all remember no one has even knock Guerrero down ever. And Danny rock him many times and took heavy return fire. Danny has a soul of a warrior . Mr Puerto Rico for sure cotto boxing Tito left hook.
OK beside by thermal but therman knock everyone down lol.
Purses: Danny Garcia $1.5M, Robert Guerrero $1.2M
i wanna see thurman fights garcia after his next fight. ithink thurman can beat garcia since he hits harder and he is faster
