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

[El Angel]

I have my shit talking saved for the select few who went back and forth with me during the build up.

Apparently I'm missing it too. Garcia is competent boxer, but to say he's one of the sport's best technicians, as Al Bernstein did during the weigh in, makes no sense.

Garcia has heart, he counterpunches well, and he takes plenty of punches and damage to lands his own. Being strong that generally worked well for him so far but tonight its a completely different iguana...

Counter-punching=technician in the minds of most fans it seems.

if you're aggressive then you're not as skilled as a guy who isn't aggressive

learned that nugget of information here too

Taking one to give one will NEVER beat Lucas. And that's Danny's game. I'm still not feeling nervous for this one. During the ring walks though, it'll be a different story.

Amazing how fans who love the guys who use intelligent defense and counter punching and are great at measuring distance and timing never seem to see those attributes in the guys moving forward.

there are only a few guys in the sport who can go from offense to defense effortlessly and Lucas is one of those guys

he is so good at sucking a guy into engaging and he will switch it up, defend then counter

Nothing will be better than watching all of the Swift doubters eat their words after this fight.
