steve farhood pauly and al bernstein all agree that garcia have to pitch a shut out

yes. A lot of times when you're in there with a big puncher the common logic is to just stick to the gameplan of staying on the move boxing. But with his looping roundhouse punches, Garcia is probably not even as technically sound as Matthysse. Garcia has absolutely zero advantages going into this fight. He'll need to have the fight of his life to stand a chance. Yeah exactly. The most effective of his punches thus far (or at least the punch that made him famous) is that literally ugly hook he throws. He's a pretty slow fighter with decent timing, but I really cannot bring myself to think he's got much of a shot. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't even last as long as Peterson, but maybe stylistically it won't end that early. Still, I see Lucas getting him out of there within like 9 rounds at most.
