By Dan Ambrose: Trainer Angel Garcia has seen enough of WBA welterweight champion Keith “One Time” Thurman’s past fights to know in his mind that his son WBC 147lb champion Danny “Swift” Garcia will destroy Thurman when the two of them meet up in the first quarter of 2017. That’s when their manager Al Haymon plans on matching them against each other.
While a lot of boxing fans see the Garcia-Thurman fight as being a competitive one, Angel believes that his son is going to destroy Thurman to take his WBA title from him. Angel specifically sees Danny’s body punching as being a problem for Thurman, because he was hurt in the past with a body shot in his fight against Luis Collazo. Angel thinks Garcia can hurt Thurman in the same way to take him out of there.
