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

Looking forward to this. It's a shame the fight hasn't really has the build up it deserves.

Isn't it possible that they didn't want to interfere with the main course? It seems that the goal isn't to attract more viewers, but to leave them satisfied and to make them repeat customers in the future.

Definitely agree with that. Don't get me wrong, it will make for a great night of boxing, but I'm sure most would agree that it's too good a fight to be mentioned as an afterthought.

Apart from boxing media, the fight is hardly being talked about. I just think a bit of build up would also get the casual fans more acquainted with the 2 fighters.

Personally I don't care who wins. I just want to see a competitive fight. I'd settle for 7 to 8 hard fought rounds with both fighters landing shots while the crowds on their feet screaming. Then after that I don't care who goes down. Hell both can go down and we do this thing again.

A while back Matthysse said he wants to break Garcia down slowly and go for the KO in the late rounds. I think that would be the best game plan cuz anybody can get caught early.

He really turns his punches over, his elbows are pointing forward at the end of the movement. But when he throws hooks it looks like he's hitting with the top of gloves instead of the knuckle area, he's probably trying not to mess up his knuckles close to the fight.

Ol' boy that just fought on ESPN... The heavyweight that fought at the white sox stadium. He also hit that dude with the top of the glove and still stopped him.

This fight is so close and i can't wait! Few months ago i thought matthysse had this in the bag but as we approach saturday i feel like danny may have a chance.

Cotto throws his left hooks in training just like Matthysse is throwing his. I haven't seen him throw them that way on fight, I'm sure he's protecting his knuckles like Light Speed said.

His body shots are going to wreck Danny.

Szpilka? Nah it looks like it was a bit below the knuckles actually :



While Matthysse really hits the mitts with the top of his hand :



But I think I've seen Golovkin do this too. Maybe it's to force themselves to really turn their punches over.
