Garcia vs Matthysse

I got matthysse by late stoppage. The body punching and hard shots from mattysse would slow garcia down. The exchanges in this fight would be amazing.

Matthysse has an underrated defense, but as I've said Garcia is a counter puncher at heart, he'll punch with Matthysee. I really don't know who to pick here, Matthysse's main problem used to be starting slow but that seems to have changed looking at the Soto fight. Very tough pick to make...

Damn 11 to nothing for Matthysse! Garcia has a good chin though, he's more durable than Zab and Alexander, and Matthysse ain't hard to hit...

I've got Garcia by decision in a barn burner

Very tough call, atm. If Garcia stays wide like he did against Khan, he gets hurt. But he goes to the body well himself, has good put & is fundamentally good, (outside of being wide). I call a toss up in a barn burner.

I think Garcia presents a style that Matthysse isn't really used to seeing.

He'd give Matthysse problems but I think he gets broken down in the second half of the fight.
