Originally posted by KeepItObjective View PostHere'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.
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.Last edited by samouraï; 09-11-2013, 07:05 PM.

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.

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.
