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

[Light_Speed]

Defense - Garcia

No.

Reflexes - Even

No.

Ring generalship - Even

No.

Resume - Garcia

Officially yes but in reality : no.

[KeepItObjective]

Matthysse will get overconfident and get spun around like Morales

[samouraï]

Here's my assessment:

Power - Even

Defense - Garcia

Speed/Agility - Matthysse

Reflexes - even

Chin - Matthysse not fully tested so I'd have to say even

Ring generalship - Even

Endurance - Even

Timing - Garcia

Resume - Garcia

Conclusion - Lucas will miss a lot of power shots, both guys may go down but ultimately I believe Matthysse will come in overconfident and get countered by a Garcia hook. Garcia wins by TKO.

Power= Matthysse. Even glancing shots hurt.

Defense= Matthysse edge, but keep in mind Lucas is mucho more aggressive.

Speed: Matthysse. Neither guy is a speed demon, though.

Reflexes: Debatable

Chin: slight Matthysse edge at least, but neither guy has been down. Garcia has looked hurt before (Judah) whilst Lucas really hasn't. I'm trying to be very fair to Garcia here. Lucas' chin might not be totally proven, but IMO it's more proven than Danny's and it may turn out to be much better.

Ring generalship: even? I don't know, Lucas showed he can basically dictate what happens vs Peterson. We'll see how Garcia handles the pace.

Endurance: Lucas. He fights at an even pace and has shown he can last late in fights. Danny faded against Judah and was hurt.

Timing: I'll give Garcia this for the hell of it.

Resume: Matthysse

IMO Peterson, Soto, Olesugun, Alexander (yes), and arguably Judah 3 years ago beat out Khan, old ass Morales, and older Judah. Also, Judah put the hurt on Garcia late, and Morales was able to go the distance and even outbox the kid in the first fight at times.

I picture Matthysse applying smart pressure and not being nearly as easy to hit as you think he is. He'll take Garcia out of his gameplan, they'll start trading, and Lucas has superior power. He'll end the fight before it goes 8 rounds.

Is this boxing or wrestling bro??? Angel is gonna run in the ring and get Danny dq'd so he doesn't lose the title??? Lol na, he might get flagged though for excessive celebrating after Lucas gets knocked out.

Matthysse has been down at least twice in the amateurs. Lucas was dropped by Maidana in one of the 3 fights Maidana won over him. I haven't found out if Maidana actually KO'd him once or not. Danny's never been down in the pro's or amateurs.

Let's say I even grant Garcia has a better chin - he has less power. Garcia's most meaningful KO's are against old guys and guys that have been KO'd before with glass chins. Matthysse has stopped several guys who had never been stopped before.

We'll see man, this fight is Saturday. Danny doesn't have 0% chance of winning but I really can't envision it happening. Let's see if you're still around after the fight, I will be regardless.

[Light_Speed]

Matthysse has good timing too, they're even in that department :

[El Angel]

They finally showed Lucas and Danny on All-Access... For about 45 seconds it deserved more than that.

[KeepItObjective]

Funny that Angel says Garcia will destroy Matthysse inside 4-5 cause if it goes past that then I'm 100000000000% Matthysse beats Garcia.

The longer the fight goes the more Garcia will cut up and the more he will fatigue.

If I was Matthysse I'd start boxing (play possum in a way) let Garcia come to me. Or just wear him down slowly (nothing reckless) and destroy him in the late rounds, where Garcia's more vulnerable.

Garcia is in the top 8 p4p when it comes to defending power shots according to compubox, he'll get hurt by Lucas I'll give you that, but if he gets past the first 5 rounds he'll outpoint and possible counter Lucas to a TKO.
