All bullshit aside and hyperbole aside, I want to seriously debate this fight with you. You seem to have as much faith in Garcia as I do in Matthysse, and I want to know how you arrived at that.

I just rewatched Garcia-Judah tonight. I just can't get over how looping and wide he throws his right hand, especially to the body. Lucas' left hook is going to be his main weapon in this fight.

I also rewatched Matthysse-Soto today, and The Weebler I pointed out how much Lucas got hit, which he did and at one point was appeared stunned by Soto, a LW with average at best punching power. But I also like Matthysse started to target Soto's body and punch with Soto instead of waiting to block and counter.

Your move sir....

“Bradley is preparing for his Oct. 12 fight against Juan Manuel Marquez, a future Hall of Fame boxer who is considered the best technician. For Bradley, it makes sense to spar Matthysse.

Just not on the first day of sparring.

It was shocking. I think it was shocking to everyone that was in the gym — shocking to my father, shocking to my team that I was coming back and sparring such a big name and a tough kid, a guy who punches so hard and knocks out everyone,” Bradley said.

.....

While many were concerned if Bradley was taking on too much too soon this week, he saw it a different way. Bradley and Matthysse figure to spar frequently over the next 10 days.

With the kind of punishment Bradley endured in March, there were some questions about how resilient his body would still be. And Bradley said some questioned if he should even spar Matthysse so soon.

“They were like ‘Whoa, why would you bring in a big puncher at this time?’ ” Bradley said. “But I understand boxing is a big mind game and I think I overcame any fear I had that I wouldn’t be ready for the Marquez fight. I took some hard shots today and it was nothing. I didn’t get rocked, didn’t get dazed.

.....

Bradley said he enjoyed his first day of work with boxing’s latest sensation. And Matthysse is ideal for Bradley’s preparation of Marquez. There are many similarities between Matthysse and Marquez, particularly the dangerous left hook.

“He has all that punching power in both hands, especially the left hook,” Bradley said. “Marquez loves to throw that left hook a lot. I know that’s the punch they’ll be looking to throw for this fight. Matthysse definitely made me aware of it early in the sparring session. He does things that Marquez likes to do and he’s making me aware of it right now.

“Sparring this guy will help me psychology for what’s ahead. It was a really good look, it boosted my confidence and it was good to see this guy.”

September 14th is so damn far away.

The way to freeze a pressure fighter is by throwing combinations, and that's what Soto and Ajose did. Garcia is probably gonna look to counter at first until he gets caught and is forced to keep Matts off him.

No the best way to freeze a pressure fighter is to either go to the body or counter with hard shots, throwing too many combinations can tire you out and can give the pressure fighter opportunities to punch with you.

The 35 year old Morales on PED's that went the distance with Danny would have KO'd Lucas. BTW Khan is better than anyone Lucas ever faced. The Lamont Peterson who fought Lucas wasn't the Lamont PEDerson that turned up to fight Khan. Danny fought the best, most motivated Judah there ever was. Judah badly wanted to go out with a ****, that version of Lamont would have stopped Lucas.

Not one thing you have said in this paragraph has any bearing on what will happen on the 14th. Your knowledge of fights that never happened is astounding.

Its a waste of time trying to reason with trolls. Putting him and his many alts in my ignore list makes it easier/more pleasant to have real conversations here with true boxing fans. Give it a try!

Not far enough for Danny

been watching some castillo fights, and it's stunning how similar Lucas fights to Jose Luis Castillo, when they both come inside, they don't really use a jab, but they'll slip your punches on the way in

really similar styles
