#Danny Garcia bested Robert Guerrero in a high-octane brawl, winning a unanimous decision to become a two-division world champion at 147 pounds.
Robert Guerrero knew Danny Garcia is sometimes a slow starter in fights. So it’s not surprising that he came out firing at Staples Center in Los Angeles, hoping to score the quick strike.
For five rounds in the 147-pound title clash, “The Ghost” blasted away with body shots that kept Garcia on the defensive and fighting backward. But by the sixth, Garcia settled into a groove and drove home thunderous counter hooks that took some of the wind out of Guerrero’s sails.
Some, but not all.
Guerrero shook off a few punishing shots and kept on coming. In what was still a fight well within reach, Guerrero came back and took the 10th after Garcia dominated the middle rounds, putting the outcome of the bout once again in doubt.
The 12th proved to be the most thrilling round not only of the night but of a young 2016, as both fighters went all out, trading heavy punishment as the crowd jumped out of their seats.
Neither man could put the other one on the canvas, though. In the end, Garcia’s dominant middle rounds proved too much for Guerrero to overcome, as all three judges saw it 116-112 for the unbeaten Philadelphia native, who with the victory became a two-time world champ.

Guerrero is a bit reckless… Garcia can disable him with a well timed hit. Still fighting… my prediction after 3 round.
After 7 round: Guerrero dares Danny a bit… Goes after Danny like Danny will not hit back. Poor defence.
It's amazing everyone but the PBC announcer knows that Danny Garcia has the most telegraphed no-look hook in the sport of boxing today. But when talking about that same punch by a PBC commentator he says it's the best left hook in boxing which is complete bulshit. And don't get me wrong I like Danny Garcia. I don't think he's ever got the credit he deserves. But the PBC as illegitimate boxing promotion is a joke. None of these PbC Fighters will ever fight another fighter who does not belong to the PbC. And I understand why boxers fight for PbC because they get paid and they have constant worked World their own stable but they're never truly building a legacy because they're not fighting the other best that belong to other promotions. All that PBC and Al Haymon are doing are keeping whatever belts their fighters have in that promotion alone. The world wants to see Spence Thurman. The world wants to see all these great fighters from different promotional backgrounds face each other
Garcia no good
Garcia boxing maraton.
When Tyson fury uses dirty tactics pushing head down hole in head locks nothing's ever said 🥵🥵🥵😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷
How ironic is this Jack Reese same ref that wrap the Tyson fury deontay Wilder fight.
Danny must have paid these commentators. I'm watching a totally different fight. I'm in the 9th now. Have the ghost way up.
Who's face is more scraped up? Danny..
Wtf.
The 10 th round. Watch it. Danny did nothing. What are these two clowns talking about. Crazy. Pbc is totally fixed.
Danny's the one holding
The ref told him. Let him go Danny.
B.S.
Guerrero should hang his gloves before he gets brain damage
Garcia is not a good boxer he box and hold he sucks
Gave Danny a free wbc belt . Fixed fight so Danny can get WBC since he brought some money for pbc at that time
I can't believe that Robert actually thinks he won. Such a gatekeeper.
These guys need to be mma fighters
garcia very slow boxer, he Just waiting a punch from guerrero..
One commentator is clear in favor of garcia
I remember watching this fight live. Even tho I was rooting for Guerrero, Danny Garcia really caught my eye & I completely understood why he was nicknamed Swift
Guerrero tried to do the same sh*t he did against Andre berto, hitting while holding the other guy’s hand
Top Yes.
They should make the ropes blue so they blend in with the canvas. More pleasing to the eye
Ese referí estuvo comiendo producto poblano
Garcia like hilarious, stupid no idea…like a pig, 🐂 how to win easily… duck
Danny got booed in the beginning and then got big cheers at the win.
If Danny would had just fired his dad and got a better trainer to teach him footwork he would’ve been a hell of a fighter
Garcia looking like a master boxer in there, Loma type. All thanks to Guerrero, who just goes forward like an ox and gets picked apart by shots left and right. 116-112 is good for Guerrero, could've been wider. His best work was at 126 and 130. Totally different fighter at 147.
Damn Guerrero’s got a hell of a chin. To take all those big shots and keep coming forward, respect
Danny shots hurt and Guerro couldn’t hurt him
ghost
García si le quitó lo bravucón
Se veía él susto que le tenía años madurados
$alute P.B.C. on bringing the classic uploads, to all the fanatics world wide. I for one, love the "$weet $cience of boxing"! My fitted cap, goes off to both warriors, Robert "the Ghost" Veterano & Danny"$wift", for giving the audience their money's worth, in that squared circle. Godspeed everyone involved with the Bness of boxing.
Guerrero has a great chin. Bro was taking a lot of shots due to him being focused on moving forward which he paid the price for. Garcia had a great fight.
