“With the sparring partners, he works on technique. He leaves the heavy hitting for the heavybags and for the fight,” says Luis Dionisio "Cuty" Barrera, Matthysse’s longtime trainer. “When he starts throwing heavier hands, Lucas is like an animal.”

“In the last two years he improved 100 percent. Three years ago, I told everyone that a fight between Maidana and Matthysse would have ended in a victory for Maidana. Today is the opposite. I see Matthysse a very technical, more intelligent, superior fighter. He’s very complete.”

“I walk around in the 152- to 154-pound range all the time,” says Matthysse. “Usually, I even eat before the weigh-in. And that’s why I am so strong in the ring, because I don’t kill myself to make weight.”
Garcia didn't even win the first fight. Morales won that fight... a draw at most.
Morales is one of my favorite fighters of all time but he lost that fight. He made Garcia look bad though, busted his nose, made him look amateurish at times.

When Garcia puts every guy he's fought on their ass then lets compare power.
He's more active and more accurate, he delivers his power more efficiently but that doesn't necessarily mean he hits harder than Garcia. If they both threw their hardest shot and you used a machine to measure their power, my guess is there wouldn't be much between them.

Funny how they talk sht about Morales but they dont talk about Maidana struggling with an old Morales. Some people thought Morales won that fight.
Maidana is one of the most overrated fighters in recent years. Chop chop nearly beat him in Argentina, Morales nearly beat him, Alexander beat him up and nearly stopped him. Why is he still headlining on HBO? Because he's an aggressive hispanic fighter with tattoos?
