never gonna happen, garcia we all know has been ducking his mandatory (matthysse) for quite some time now. after that wicked 1 rd ko, garcia is shitting his pants right about now
Schaefer wants Matthysse vs Maidana on April 27.
That's the only opinion that counts. He's not pulling out of the Judah fight because Matthysse crushed the WBO Latino Champion
Mathysse did even got hit in the Dallas fight so they might make the fight quick, maybe in April, I hope. It could be the reason for the sudden withdraw from jugah fight.
Sadly yes, that is how it works but it doesn't make it right.
He should fight his mandatory, the best i can do is give him "credit" for not being a ducker, but that just seems off to me.
I see what you're saying, but the trend has been set for fighters to take low risk high reward fights and Garcia has plenty of those available.
Maybe he's just been taunted into action? I don't know.
it's not a "ballsy move"
he's fighting his mandatory ffs, it's not like he's going up in weight to fight a welterweight champ, that would classify as a "ballsy move" and him and pops are so arrogant they probably think he can easily beat matthyse
stop giving "props" for fighting a mandatory, he has to do it or else be a laughing stock.
Matthyse by brutal ko
He doesn't have to take this fight and potentially ruin his stock.
He could make a lot more money a lot more safely by continuing to avoid Matthyse in favour of Zab. Bigger money fights.
But if he has pulled out of that fight in favour of Matthyse, hell yes that is a ballsy move.
This could destroy all the hype he got out of beating Khan and Morales in a single round. Make no mistake, he would probably benefit from avoiding this fight.
That's how it works nowadays.
Matthyse only said "They told me it was going to happen this year". He probably meant Golden Boy told him so that doesn't mean Garcia's team has agreed.
Exactly.
There's no way in hell Garcia pulled out of the Judah fight to sign his own death warrant against Matthysse prematurely.
If he's pulling out it has to be due to an injury, poor conditioning, bad training camp, family illness, or something of similar magnitude that would effect his ability to be 100% on February 9th.

Very ballsy move by Garcia.
He's risking everything he has achieved by taking that fight, and he isn't the favourite.
he is tired of everyone riding his name and having people saying he is scarred
