it was a tough fight for both. I rooted for Lucas but I suspected Garcia would take it. I think I wrote that I thought Garcia would win.
A rematch is hard to predict. I am shocked that Garcia has such a good chin; took Lucas's best.
On the one hand, Danny fought a perfect fight and had the right circumstances align for him, plus, he knew when to pull veteran cheat moves (come on, dude has never hit anyone low, now he can't stop it?); but Lucas can't hurt Garcia.
But that's what i said about Rios vs. Alvarado.
If I'm Danny I dont give the rematch. Too dangerous. Lucas will have to earn a rematch the hard way (beat everyone on his path).
but you said
"What the hell did it, though?"
wtf what type of answer were you expecting :buttkick:
I think it was a jab in round 6
I was expecting to hear what punch people thought did it. I wasn't even sure what caused the eye to swell to begin with, let alone what might have done this kind of damage.
I didn't realize wondering what punch did it would get the kind of responses it did. Silly me asking a question.
I think it was a jab.
He threw a right to the body and came up top with a solid jab.
Garcia can punch.
Someone else said it was likely a jab. Someone else said an uppercut. If it was a jab it must have landed really solid or just a combination of solidly with perfect placement.
but he wasn't better. he would have lost without the poor reffing. what about that don't you understand? he won 5 rounds pretty clear and it would have been 6, but he was tangled in the ropes after a rabbit punch cuffed him in the head . the ref is supposed to protect fighters from just this kind of situation. its a tainted win just like mares-agbeko 1 where the ref ruled a low-blow a knockdown. pretending that garcia won legit makes you look pathetic and shows you don't care about boxing only certain fighters.
Does your alt happen to have the letters fsjd? Not in that order either.
I think it's funny, that pretty much only Garcia nuthuggers are saying this was an easy win. You have too be one stupid oaf to think this fight wasn't close, or be larryx. The single dumbest human being boxingscene has ever seen post here.
Some of you guys are hilariously dumb. Speedy recovery hopefully. The more excuses you guys make for Matthysse the better Danny looks. The better fighter won, get over it. Daggum you sound butt hurt!

I hope Lucas makes a speedy recovery he's one of my many favorite fighters. I saw him live in AC against Peterson and have no regrets of seeing him in a 3 round annihilation. I need him to move up to weight and retire Khan.

It was a jab.
Garcia said it himself. He said in an interview that he landed a job that made Lucas squint his eyes and rub several times and that all of a sudden the eye was busted.
Three things
1. either Garcia's jab is powerful (he has a great hook, but this would be inhuman)
2. or, Lucas has some damage in that eye area that makes him predisposed to it. He also had that incident against Harris. His lack of D makes it worst.
