I used to have an Architecture Design teacher that said that if design-wise you repeat something two times it just a pair, if its three times it becomes a rule.
1) Yesterday I saw this video, where WBC president Jose Sulaiman is clearly all about Matthysse.Maybe without realising it, he commits an "acto fallido", calling Danny the challenger at a point. His prefference for Matthysse is clear in the video in my opinion.
2)A few minutes later I found this article:

The author seems to think the Matthysse-Garcia fight is intended to of course showcase Floyd's next challenger, the boxer that wins this fight. Now, give me a minute here and follow this line of tohught for a second: Who needs the most exposure, Danny or Lucas? Sure, the kind of money Danny was probably demanding for this fight is easier tocome up with as a Floyd-Canelo undercard, but it also makes for a very smart move if you're expecting the lesser known fighter to win.
As the article says, we all saw Richard Shaefer go nuts after the destruction of Peterson, calling Lucas "The new Paquiao". It was pac vs Floyd the fight all fans were left wanting for after all...
3)And then you have the new cover of The Ring Magazine September 2013, as if there was any doubt about what's going on and the route GBP and Mayweather wants to go for.

What do you guys think?
I dont think they are sacrificing garcia...
Garcia has a legit shot at beating lucas, but he will have to fight a perfect fight and be the matador to lucas's bull....
i favor lucas to win but this is not a sacrifice,, danny earned his belts and lucas earned his shot... now let the best fighter win...
a sacrifice would be putting berto in with thurman,, or lopez to canelo,,, now that was a sacrifice,,
Yeah, anyone who thought Danny was eager to take this fight and was just waiting for the right time to sign or something, is delusional. Danny was forced into taking this fight and when they get into the ring, he is going to get straight wrecked......which is why it's on this PPV as an undercard because Danny wanted a lot of money to take a beating.
People are also MASSIVELY overlooking Canelo against Mayweather. I think we could see a rematch after perhaps Floyd's first loss. I can remember almost everyone in here barring a few (including myself) who said Trout was going to trash and KO Canelo, expose him easily. Now that he won, the tune has changed a little bit but Canelo is a strong, fast guy. He is going to catch Mayweather, the Ghost was tagging Mayweather to the body fairly easily.
In any case, it should be a great, great card, really looking forward to it. I'm due to close on my house the first week of September and I want to get the TV installed, new couch, satellite moved and the grill setup so I can have a sweet party for this to celebrate the move.
Lucas better win or there will be alot of sad posters. I dont have a horse in that fight so im just hoping for a good one.
I agree with everything you said about Canelo and Floyd. Size will play a big part in this fight. Canelo will eventually catch him.
Sept 14th the Ginger era begins!

We could see a rematch even if Floyd doesn't lose to Canelo but has a hard time and / or if it is a competitive and not boring fight. Any of these are very likely.
Danny was never knocked down in the amateurs or pro's. Lucas was dropped twice in the amateurs. Plus, his brother's jaw is glass. Lucas can't magically have an "iron" chin when he shares the same genes and facial structure as Walter and the hardest puncher he's faced has been Zab Judah.. Sure, Lucas can punch, but Danny also hits harder than anyone Lucas has fought. All the displaced Pacquiao fans will be shocked when "the next Pacquiao" gets timed by Swift.
Judah was also the hardest puncher Garcia faced but unlike Lucas, he hurt him multiple times in the last 3 rounds. Lucas also hits much much harder then anyone Garcia has ever faced.
Garcia is the biggest puppet I've ever seen in the boxing game.
They made him sign the contract. They're sending the lamb to the slaughter. That's all she wrote.

Yeah we'll be too busy celebrating the wins of our favorite fighters. We'll be back a couple days later with the "called it"/"I told you so" threads.
Mr. Philadel, RiC-DiC, Big Rigg,..... the list just keeps growing. You'll all see.

All the Floyd fans repping Swift right now are gonna be pretty quiet September 15th.

Lamont didn't get TKO until he fought Lucas. Dude...Lukie can punch...and Garcia is in for a long night.

He is the next PAC,,, he's gonna get ktfo by somebody everyone expects him to beat. Danny Garcia is the future baby,, after this bum it's mayweather
It's two potential big names and ultimately one has to lose. That doesn't mean anyone's being "sacrificed", it's just a good fight. Losses mean far too much these days.
Thank you, a loss is not the end of the world as long as the fighter went out like a warrior. That being said, hope Lucas gives swift a loss.

Matthysse's bodyshots and work ethic will show up on Garcia, If Garcia can pull this off then he truly is a elite fighter. He will then move on to bigger and better fights at 147 I believe. This is a big ask and being in a ring with Lucas is like being in a cage with a Tiger, it will maul you until you kill it.
