It was a close, back and forth fight. Mathhysse got hit perfect on the eye to make it swell, and lost all of his steam. This is boxing, **** happens. And even then Matthysse came back, won the 10th, was winning the 11th, until that odd KD.
Good fight, deserves a rematch, Garcia won fair and square (besides the low blows).

No, it doesn't deserve a rematch. Garcia handled Lucas and showed how good he really is. As someone that picked Lucas to win I have to give Garcia lots of due credit. You can make all the excuses you want, Garcia was the clear winner.
Danny schooled him, the first 2-3 rounds were tense and shaky for Danny. After that he blocked a lot of the punches and fired up nasty combinations. Are we pretending you didn't predict a nasty KO by Lucas OP? And that people thought Danny was going on a stretcher after the fight (lmao).
Look at Garcia's face after the fight, he literally took more damage against Judah. His eyes closing up is from Danny's precise and powerful punches, no different to Pacquiao against Marg.
First it was Danny was scared, then the fight was signed and now its his fans that were scared.
I'm not even a big fan of Danny too, but his hate is undeserved. The guy has done nothing but fight fighters people say that were going to KO and beat him. But instead they jump on the first bandwagon of a guy who has been knocking out people.
To the guy who said he won a fight no one expected, yeah if you're living in a bandwagon fantasy world on NSB you're right. But A LOT of people were picking Garcia and not letting their panties get wet every time they hear the name "Matthyse".
Lol yeah we're the crazy ones, not the people who were disparaging Garcia in every thread saying he was going to die, get knocked out cold with his father holding him in his arms. Give me a break, you talked a lot of crap now you can't receive 1/10th of it back?
Damn Phil be easy lmao!

On the same argument if Lucas would had kept openning up he might had gotten hit more or possibly KOed. You can't play devil's advocate and assume that if his eye wouldn't had swollen he would had done better
Danny won the fight. It was closer than many are making it seem though. Lucas' corner was pretty incompetent as well. They should have been able to take care of the eye. Lucas lost all the momentum he was building. But still it was a good fight. Both fighters showed a lot. I think Lucas and a lot of other people underestimated Garcia.
i thought lucas was gonna take this. KO would have been interesting. not much of a fan but danny did GREAT though, 140 king.
IMO, danny did what he needed to do to win... simply put. it wasnt pretty (clenched excessively, low blows, etc)... but hey, thats some cagey veteran type of tactics he was pulling off in the ring. and once he saw lucas getting frustrated, he stepped on the gas.
i expected more from lucas, he has been in there with superior boxers with faster hands & quicker reflexes... danny doesnt dazzle by any means but his timing is excellent.
Not once have I said Lucas won last night. Not once, but it was a close back and forth fight.
Then let it go then, your making yourself look like an idiot that tripped butt naked in a gay parade. :bukkake:
Holy sh1t I clicked on the thread and it's lovsi or whatever. This guys been but hurt ever sense the Lucas lost. Let me tell you something you don't lose your steam from a swollen eye, you lose your steam from getting hit with vicious counter punches to the body. If you don't believe me just ask The broken machine.
it wasn't a one sided fight, Lucas fought well enough
he certainly coulda done more, but give credit to Garcia
he took what shots he had to, dropped him, won fair and square
coulda done without the Golota tactics, but he was the better man
Lucas deserves a rematch, but Garcia don't have to give him one
it can wait if Garcia wants to pursue something else, he won clearly
I think Danny did far worse than just school Matthysse. You can argue he put a huge dent in the ability of Matts to get another big fight. Matts has scary power and brings nothing to the table so I agree with Paulie its gonna be hard for him to get big fights.
No offense to Matts fans, but he looked like he didn't belong at this level. Danny controlled this fight from the beginning. Frankly, after the 3rd round it seemed Lucas had no other way to win but his power. Thats not gonna cut it at the elite level.
Maybe if Maidana loses they can go to Argentina for a huge event.
You could score the first 6 rounds 3-3 but just the overall impression was that Garcia was in control and he was dictating how the fight went whereas Matthysse wasn't able to get off like he wanted to.
To me, Danny making it his fight and was way ahead in terms of Ring Generalship before the eye closed anyway.

it was a very close fight, and even though i gave the 7th(rd lucas's eye starts to swell) to garcia, it was a really close round that one could also give to matthysse, having landed some great counter left hooks, a counter right, some body shots and other shots as garcia was covered up
doing so makes it a draw on my card
a rematch is in order imo
I'm keeping my mouth mostly shut because of all the sh*t I talked, but this is very true. It's not an "excuse" that Lucas' eye closing changed the fight. It's a factual observation. Danny closed it and won the fight, and I'm not denying him his respect. But the first half of the fight Lucas looked really good and was winning or at least even IMO. He had two good rounds before the eye closed. Even with it the fight was close.
Garcia toughed out a good fight, he didn't dominate or school anyone. That's more than most of us though, and he deserves all the credit in the world for a hard-earned win no one expected, but people are going crazy here.
While this is all true, what bothers me is the butthurt people who thought he was going to get killed, bringing this up every time they have to give him his props now. How many other times have you heard, "yea he won but he only won cause boxer x broke his hand in the x round" or "he only won cause boxer x got cut over his eye" I wouldn't mind if it was from a headbutt but it was a legal hit and Danny should get credit for it instead of having it brought up like it was some unintentional freak accident.
A win is a win is a win.
