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

[New England]

my homie JFSD is going to go back to the drawing board and come back strong. he had trouble making the weight, broke his left hand in camp, and was sick in the week leading up to the fight. he wants to thank al haymon and jesus, because without them none of this would have been possible.

2014 is going to be his year.

Will all the Matthyse fans please stop with all the excuses.

Matthyse was never **** to begin with. He will lose to all the top 140lbers.

He lost to Judah, He lost to alexander He lost to Garcia, his best wins are a shot soto, who was never a truly elite fighter anyway, just a very good one , and Peterson who looked like an old man in their fight without his power pellets.

The only reason his KO Percentage is so high is because he was destrorying Argentinian tomato cans.

surely you have not seen the alexander fight.

[Bushidō]

Lucas' refusal to jab his way in is so infuriating on this rewatch.

he kind of gave up on the jab once he had some early success with his big shots.

surely you have not seen the alexander fight.

There's more hype behind Matthyse's punches than there is power.

There is nothing special about him. He will lose to every top 140 lber including khan.

I just re-watched the fight & I actually had it even. 113-113. I didn't score it while watching it yesterday since I just wanted to watch it as a fan instead of judging the entire fight. There was about 4 close rounds & I had them I believe 2 a piece. I know usually the judges give the close rounds to the champion so I can see why he won on all 3 scorecards. But Garcia did terrific this fight. And Matthysse is a tough SOB. But I have no problem with Garcia getting the win since he controlled almost the entire second half of the fight.

Round 1 - Garcia 10-9
Round 2 - Matthysse 10-9
Round 3- Matthysse 10-9
Round 4- Garcia 10-9
Round 5- Matthysse 10-9
Round 6- Matthysse 10-9
Round 7- Garcia 10-9
Round 8- Garcia 10-9
Round 9- Garcia 10-9
Round 10- Matthysse 10-9
Round 11- Garcia 10-8
Round 12- Matthysse 10-8

He fell in love with his own power. He was looking for one big shot at times and Danny peppered him with combinations while he waited on the outside for a way in.

He didn't jab because Garcia was giving him too much movement and countering him too hard.

I know Garcia hit Matthyse with some low blows but he was landing some nice body shots while Lucas was head hunting. I like both fighters and I'm glad Danny got the win because alot of people thought he was a chump and was going to get destroyed by Matthyse but he fought a great fight.

Matthyse vs Maidana
Garcia vs Broner

Loved every second of the fight. Both guys made nice adjustments throughout, especially Matthysse working through 2 tough rounds with that swollen eye and almost taking back control of the fight but Garcia found a way to capture that W
