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

[FromBA]

Matthysse and his team were overconfident coming to this fight. Lucas thought Danny was not that good (even that Peterson was better than Danny) and he would win inside 6 rounds.

No doubt they took the fight very seriously, but after the Peterson fight the perceived risk was much higher in Danny's camp. As a result, his team made much more effort to closely study the rival and devise a plan.

Also many American observers and fans underestimated Garcia.

It was not irrelevant either that the Murphy Law favored Danny in this case. Matthysse would have likely won the fight without the swelled eye incident.

Matthysse's overconfidence + Danny's good plan and performance + Eye incident = Upset

I don't think Lucas was overrated (ask Peterson), nor he was object of a kind of irrational fascination. Instead, I think some people would have to ask why a growing segment of American fans needs so desperately KO artists (or at least more exciting fighters) and have to import them from abroad. Too much defensive and speculative boxing today...

The bubble burst but Lucas didn't pump it up. Don't blame him nor his team.

Where's "Matthysse by Decapitation & Humiliation leading to a Angel Garcia heart attack"?

Oh lawd... Wtf am I reading? ... Actually the whole post was a LOL post.

Btw Im still waiting on you to tell me what are these fundamentals that Garcia possesses that Matthysse doesn't.

the fight was over in the first round...Lucas landed a couple of flush powerful right hands and Swift didn't blink....it was just a matter of time before Swift took him apart after that....young Swift was too strong and too good

Has JSFD responded yet? If feel bad for the dude. He was riding with Lucas more than anyone else. F it, I still ride with team Lucas. Danny earned every bit of respect though.

Told you all not to count Danny out?

What swelled eye incident? Oh you mean Danny popping his eye with a punch and closing his eye? Oh I see And in regards to my second bolded segment of your quote THERE WAS a crazy weird irrational fascination with this dude, because he hunts and eats Iguanas and has tattoos and lives a life of seclusion, people here were bloody obsessed lmao posting what he's been eating and all his training pics I remember reminding everyone that they're digging a deep hole for themselves because this fight is anything but a foregone conclusion but they preferred to live in Matthysse fantasy land believing that he's superman with superpowers

It was an exciting fight. In the first 3 rounds Mattyhse was throwing hard fast shots that were barely missing Garcia I was worried he was going to rock him with one of those. He actually ate a couple of those shots too

That knockdown was huge though. That was a Lucas round and would have had him down about a point and a good chance to comeback.

Awesome fight I havent been that excited for a fight in a long time
