Danny Garcia is being massively underestimated

Admittedly, I think there is a bit of exaggeration (sp) of the conclusion of this fight. Personally I do believe that L.Matthysse will come out victorious. I also believe he will win by KO. To put more substance in this - I think L. Matthysse's boxing ability is a bit underrated and I believe that Danny has developed a very bad habit of leaving his hands down after a punch ESPECIALLY his left hand - it's way too low when he winds up his right hook and vice-versa. L.Matthysse has been known to capitalize on mistakes like that. If there was that a gap to be found - that's a glaring one.

I already made a bet with one of my friends on this fight. I got Swift in this fight. I hope he lands that left hook so I can win that money.

over rated!!

No, the judges did. Judah fight was actually close, I scored it for Matthysse by a round. Alexander fight was competitive enough but he won the clearly ill give him that. So you didn't then obviously, you both scored both fights for Matthysse, but yet bring them up as evidence as to why he'll lose to Danny? I don't get it, did Garcia go to war with Judah or did I miss this masterclass some are making it seem like he put on? Is win over Khan better than Lucas' win over Peterson? I don't think so, Khan was coming off a UD loss, in an admittedly controversial decision loss to Peterson, while Peterson was coming off a good showing off his layoff against Holt. Like WARQUEZ said, Garcia is tailor-made for Matthysse. He will not hear the bell for the 6th round. I'm not disrespecting or hating on Garcia, he's a good, young, solid fighter, but Matthysse is a league above and it will show on fight night. September 15th, everyone is going to want to see Mayweather-Matthysse.

Garcia beat the shell of Terrible twice, 1st time wasn't impressive he beat Khan, a pretty good but chinless fighter by KO he beat Zab, which everybody does Garcia is getting rated rightly; a decent guy who's gonna die vs Lucas Do you realize that Matty didn't beat Zab? I have Matt winning in that fight, but his record does show a loss. :boxing:

Matthysse via sodomy within 5 rounds. You wanna bet on that? To be fair, Bringer is kind of dumb. He's my bud though--please don't take his points ;)

I think he is being overlooked a bit. I see the fight as near even

................. Garcias was stunned and almost dropped by Judah.... WTF ARE YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT????? he will get Knocked the **** OUT... inside 5 Garcia beat the guy who beat Lucas...........dropped him several times too..... Judah could not take Garcia's punch but took Luca's punch all night and even beat Lucas lol!

does matthysse have the feet to be fleet-footed?

Waitaminutehere. So now Pederson is somehow better than Danny?? In which way and how do you guys know?? because Matthysse beat him. Remember he beat beast Ajose.the 2nd greatest 140 fighter ever.

I really don't see how anyone who watches and studies boxing can call this fight a toss up. Those people judging this fight on Matthysse's Judah/Alexander fights should also have their boxing knowledge questioned. Garcia is tailor made for Matthysse.

You honestly scored those fights for Judah and Alexander? Judah fight was actually close, I scored it for Matthysse by a round. Alexander fight was competitive enough but he won the clearly ill give him that.

I agree Garcia is being underestimated. I expect a helluva fight...but he'll still get KO'd.

I don't underestimate García, I've seen his past 5 or 6 fights and I'm still not impressed. My opinion is that García is a decent fighter, above average of course, but with many flaws which could be easily exploited. So what are García's strengths? He has heavy hands and packs serious power with his wide hooks. He also has good timing and is able to surprise his opponents with his power punches. I don't think he has an amazing chin but he's still resistant and can take a punch. Hasn't faced the best opposition but he's been able to finish the job and he gets credit for that. What are his weaknesses? He's very flat footed, his footwork's been absolutely terrible in his past fights. He's not too fast either but has decent speed so maybe it's not such a problematic weakness considering that he has good timing. The most important flaw I see in him is that he's wide open for straight counters. He throws some really wide hooks and since he's flat footed he can't move out of range before the opponent throws his right/left counter so he receives more shots than he should. Another thing that makes me not rate García so highly is his quality of opposition. Sure, he's undefeated, but he beat an old Zab Judah in a competitive fight, a lot more than it should've been in my opinion. He beat an extremely past his prime Morales twice and he actually had a lot of problems during his fist fight. He also knocked out Khan, which IMO is still his best victory so far, even though Khan has an absolutely pathetic chin. I think Lucas takes him because he's a better boxer than some guys here think. Sure, Lucas is not a textbook fighter but he has some strengths that some people tend to overlook. He's strong, we all know that, but he has much better footwork than most people believe. He has trouble at first to get in range to land his shots, but once he does that he's very good at positioning himself and at cutting the ring. Also his good at landing different kinds of shots. He surprises his opponents by varying his punches, he throws both hooks and straights and is very unpredictable because of his unorthodox style. We're not talking about a guy like Brandon Rios or Chino Maidana who just go forward throwing punches all over the place, Lucas has better boxing fundamentals and even though it may not seem that way I think he has a good ring IQ.

This is going to be a war. I have Matthysse winning inside of ten but Garcia is not going away with one shot and this is coming from a huge fan of Lucas.

'Easy nights work' according to some posters. Matthysse will not walk through Garcia inside 6 rounds. Those who think hes going to steamroll and make Garcia quit are in for a pleasant surprise. Matthysse may win, but I'm telling you, not a cats in hell chance he takes Garcia out without having a war. This isn't Peterson, Garcia is a young, game fighter, looking to make his mark in the division. Its going to be a great night. Matthysse stock is going to drop and Garcia's will go up, win or lose for Garcia. Its a toss up for me,Danny Garcia has underated boxing skill,just look at his fight with Kendall Holt.I think that Garcia is gonna try to utilized his height and reach advantage and use a lot of movement.But i wont be surprised if Mathysse ko`s him early.

You honestly scored those fights for Judah and Alexander?No, the judges did.

What fights are you watching Peterson can box very well he just decided to fight Matty when he got dropped which was stupid and sped up the process of him being ko'd.Peterson can't box. He likes to come forward behind a shot gun jab. Peterson didn't try to out box Khan, Bradley or Holt.

You say they were robberies. Matthysse fans didn't even think that Garcia would take the fight. And when Judah and Alexander ARE mentioned, it seems that the main reason is to throw Matthysse's brand new fans off of their high horse. You honestly scored those fights for Judah and Alexander?
