Way to go Garcia, fighting a inexperienced professional moving up from lightweight, with a subpar record against no names. Should feel real good about that fight. Why wasn't spaddifora called up instead? Oh yea, because spaddifora wouldve gave cherry Garcia a hard time. Even at 38. Can't wait till he moves to 147 and see his head get bashed. This was like watching a experienced professional against a amateur. Good job Garcia, a champ fights the best not some no names.

That fool sounded like a broken record...Danny beat Lucas Matthysse... he beat lucas matthysse..he beat Matthysse Lol
they view that as a huge accmplishment(as they should, great win), danny was holding back tears right after the fight and sobbing like crazy in the dressing room, he musta felt like john connor after he'd just saved the earth from the terminators, he had just conquered his greatest fear, a task he probabley deemed improbable
it was a monumental victory, a rematch would give an interesting take on garcia's psyche, he has conquered the abomination once, but now he has to take into account that the likelyhood of matthysse's eye swelling a second time is low and that matthysse is gonna come in thirsting for blood

It's stupid to say that Danny is a cherry picker cuz he did fight Khan early in his career and he fought Matthysse when Matthysse was dubbed a 'killer.' The only fights that made sense for Garcia was a Herrera rematch or a Peterson fight. The fans are giving Garcia a hard time for anything. The Herrera fight was NOT a one sided fight like everyone is making it seem to be. The score cards for that fight were not good, but there have been worse decisions & fans move on from it quicker than this ****. They keep Danny's nuts in their mouth for that Herrera performance which was NOT one sided. I'll agree that the selection of these last two opponents are not lineal champ level, but u know what? Most boxing fans have no problem hyping up a fighter like Golovkin who makes faded shot contenders at 154 pounds move up and fight him at 160. Garcia has not been consecutively selecting a poor option for opponents. Herrera was okay and Salka wasn't acceptable, but u haters forget that u thought Garcia was gonna lose to Matthysse and he whooped his ***. Like most of Golovkin's highlight competition Danny chose a fighter one weight class below and KO'd him. Now he gets hated for that, but when Golovkin KO's a faded shot contender from a weight class below he's the Boxing God's gift to the fans lol.
