Why...........

[rey guey]

well Danny Garcia kind of ducked on his mandatory which is Lucas Matthysse in order to fight Zab Judah, so why not?

and before anybody says anything

the winner of Ajose vs Matthysse was supposed to get the Garcia Morales winner. Garcia says something like Matthysse hasn't earned a fight and old Don Jose Sulaiman won't enforce WBC rules when he knew Garcia beating Matthysse isn't likely. Sulaiman won't endanger his bank account.


PR fighters make more money than Argentines do in the US.

economics plain and simple.

Lucas a beast. Man GBP make the Rios fight since we know you guys have no confidence in Garcia to face real fighters like Lucas and RIos.

while i think he's the best jr welterweight in the world (he should be 34-0) its up to him and gbp to make a demand. you think if he would have ktfo of judah, judah would have gotten the fight? i doubt it.

unfortunately, some guys have to work harder then others in order to make things happen.

it,s just business i know but, everyone at 140 are some chicken ass mofo if no one challenges lucas ... see this is what,s wrong with boxing these days, no real challenges like the days of old... i can remember like yesterday on saturday the wide world of sports and no one was avoided... if anything they wanted to face the best to see where they placed in best of the best... sry ass times were in...

So Garcia earns his place fighting shot to **** Eric Morales (twice) and stopping Amir Glass after getting out-boxed for most of the fight. Meanwhile Matthysse fight Alexander, Judah where in he is universally recognized as getting robbed twice, goes on to stop Humberto Soto (when many here surprisingly thought he would lose) early, then stops Olosegun (who Danny himself had been ducking) and still isn't worthy of fighting His Holy Eminence Danny "The Magnificent" Garcia.

Totally agree that Matthysse is avoided but lets see if Garcia is ducking him after the Judah fight.

That would be a blatant duck if he does avoid Lucas.
