It's possible. Danny is fully capable of winning this fight and is favored for a reason but I'm expecting Porter to do what he does best, use his effective aggressiveness to bully his way in to get the fight where he has the clear advantage, on the inside. Garcia has great power and a crushing left hook that Porter needs to watch out for when coming in, but doesn't have the active jab or lateral movement to keep the the physically stronger Porter off of him. Maybe Garcia does what Brook did to Porter which was clinch & hold him every time Porter gets close, but thats not really in Danny's DNA so it's doubtful. It's more likely Garcia tries to fight Porter on the inside which could be a huge mistake. Porter's chin is rock solid too so he won't be an easy guy to stop. It's not out of the realm of possibility that Garcia can catch him with a big shot and stop him, but it's likelier Porter's high workrate and physicality on the inside wins him this fight imo. Good value on the underdog. Should be an excellent fight!
I'm expecting Cherry Garcia to put up a good couple of rounds against Porter, but it won't be enough.
Porter is an in your face fighter who presses the action, usually. He's not a tactician but more of a brawler type. When Thurman pressed Garcia, Cherry didn't have nothing for him but that clinch. If Porter presses the fight, he wins. If someone got in his head that he can stick and move and outclass Cherry that way, he'll lose.
