The Danny Garcia vs. Lucas Matthysse Prediction Thread. **ITS ON!**

[FerFAL]

so Danny not going to 1 city justifies Lucas not going to 2 cities? smh..

Yes, pretty much. Danny was supposed to be the one looking forward to these. Maybe he didnt want to do them that bad, just bítch about it.

[El Angel]

So basically these pressers are going to be two Garcia only pressers and one with Matthysse? Why do it at all now?

[El Angel]

Yes, pretty much. Danny was supposed to be the one looking forward to these. Maybe he didnt want to do them that bad, just bítch about it.

Lucas isn't fulfilling his obligations by not going on this press tour in the USA when his camp is in Argentina, but I'm not flying to LA from Philly, that's just too much. He sounds like a huge hypocrite.

All jokes aside, I thought Lucas was 10X the fighter Danny was. I don't see how him flying anywhere for a press conference is supposed to put him in danger of getting ktfo by Garcia. Or is all this hype about Iguana meat diets and Julian Jackson power not real anymore?

Seems like the closer we get to Sept.14th, the less scary Lucas is becoming.

Is talk that cheap that it could not make it to at the very least the first week of September?

You lock a training, iguana-eating, killing machine in a ratty gym for 12 weeks straight and what emerges from within the confines of that solitary confinement can only be described in the most modest of descriptions as scary.

Garcia-Matthysse tour canceled
By Dan Rafael

Logistics and bickering between junior welterweight titlist Danny Garcia and interim titleholder Lucas Matthysse mean there will not be a media tour for their much-anticipated fight after all.

They meet in a significant showdown Sept. 14 (Showtime PPV) in the co-feature of the Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Canelo Alvarez card at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and initially, because it is such a significant fight, Golden Boy Promotions was planning a three-city media tour. (Mayweather and Alvarez did a monster 10-city tour that drew tens of thousands of fans across the country and in Mexico.)

A three-city Garcia-Matthysse tour to New York, Puerto Rico (where Garcia's family is from) and Los Angeles had been planned for early August, but fell through because Matthysse was in the middle of his training camp in Argentina and did not want to break camp for the long trip.

Instead, the alternative plan was that Matthysse would come to the United States three weeks ahead of the fight and do three cities in two days -- New York and Garcia's hometown of Philadelphia on Thursday and Los Angeles on Friday, in conjunction with the weigh-in for Saturday night's Abner Mares-Jhonny Gonzalez card. That would allow Garcia and Matthysse to also make appearances on Showtime's telecast on Saturday night, and then Matthysse would stay on the West Coast to finish his camp.

Now the tour is off entirely.

"Matthysse was OK with going to New York and Los Angeles, but he didn't want to go to Philadelphia," Golden Boy chief executive Richard Schaefer told ESPN.com. "So I said, 'OK,' but Garcia said, 'If [Matthysse] is not going to go to Philadelphia, I don't want to go to Los Angeles and disrupt my camp with a trip cross country.' So, at the end of the day, I said forget this. I'm very busy, so if these guys don't want to do it, forget it. Maybe we'll do something with Matthysse in L.A.

"I sort of can understand why Danny doesn't want to break camp and fly across the country to do appearances and a press conference and then fly back at this time in his camp. It's a crucial time. I could probably make them do it because it says in the contract they have to do the [public relations] stuff, but I am not going to press it. My sense is that Matthysse will still come [to the United States] early though. So there's no tour, but it’ll be a great fight."

You'd have to ask Danny and Angel Garcia. They are the experts on cheap talking.
Matthysse likes doing the talking in the ring. His fists will have a nice conversation with Danny's face.

And this makes you more accomplished in your life how?

Me thinks your obsession will be crushed on the 14th...

Same here. I wanted to hear Angel break Lucas down like Hannibal Lechter.


Lucas is clearly prone to mindgames evident in his latest comments. Team Garcia is getting in his head. They know how to play the kind of over-confidence that drives peasant-minded "humble" folks crazy. They are adept at creating haters. Swag>Humility in the mindphuuck arena. It's a talent and Angel does it well. Drive a peasant crazy by being anything but peasant-like.
