Comments Thread For: Schaefer: 90% Chance of Garcia vs. Matthysse on 9/7

[hitking]

Gotcha - won't nitpick ;-). Southpaws who can box are his problem, hence the debatable 2 losses. But with Lucas, you have to command his respect, keep him off of you. If you can't keep him from coming forward, it's a wrap. That's the only knock I have - we really haven't seen him get clobbered. Maybe he takes it really well, or these dudes he's fighting just don't have it.

Agreed on your last sentence.



I agree, but you can only wait for so long - super fights that were to be never happened because of trying to maximize profits.

I think any top level guy with good technical skills, decent speed and quickness, and good lateral and head movement is gonna give Lucas fits. Whether he be southpaw or orthodox. Key thing is they're gonna have to be able to handle his power. Because with all of his limitations, he's got fast hands and can crack. So unless you've got Floyd Mayweather type defensive skills, you're probably not gonna make it 12rds without getting touched. And I doubt Floyd makes it 12 clean rds.

Lucas has an impressive victory against Peterson that has created a lot of buzz. Peterson has been knocked down early in fights and Lucas made sure he kept him down.

Garcia's jab is going to trouble Lucas more than more ppl think here. Not saying that Garcia would be the favorite in that fight but it is not going to be a walk in the park for Lucas

If Bob Arum had Garcia this fight would never happen. Garcia has a chance to be the face of boxing at Barclays Center and a draw.

his fans wont go away because of 1 lose and if he wins it will only sky rocket him even higher

Well you Matthysse fanboys were already wrong about Garcia being scared to fight Lucas. Watch what happens when Garcia knocks Lucas out

Watch what happens when Lucas knocks Garcia out...you're gonna do a magic trick and disappear.

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer has no intention of waiting any longer. He wants to make a junior welterweight showdown between WBA/WBC champion Danny Garcia (26-0, 16KOs) and mandatory challenger Lucas Matthysse (34-2, 32KOs) on September 7th.

Hope this fight comes about a lot of action but got to disagree with Schaefer with his statement that Garcia is the most underrated fighters in boxing and as far as being counted out if there is a fighter who has been underrated and counted out its been Juan Manuel Marquez he has been counted out for almost five years now critics were sayin he wouldn't get past Juan Diaz now look he almost at the top of the sport at almost forty years old that's impressive.

You could be right. But to me, it seems there's a pattern since his L's were both southpaws that had good movement & could box. But if he fights Garcia, we won't get to see that....

I doubt it as well that Floyd makes it without getting touched if they fight. But then the question would be could Matthysse carry his pop up to 147?

[TboneNYC09]

This fight is the stepping stone to Floyd and greatness. Matthysse adds Danny and his dad ro his belt notches than stops money.

Then becomes president of the united states...

[AntonTheMeh]

this is a fight that could make or break either one of them. this year's alexander vs bradley, with the winner getting a bid into the floyd sweepstakes. team garcia needs to let this happen.

OOOH ****! I'm hoping this one goes to Atlantic city or Brooklyn but I would probably try to go to DC too. Just get this fight set lol
