Comments Thread For: Bernard Hopkins Gives His Take on Garcia vs. Matthysse

[Doctor_Tenma]

If Garcia shows the same poise he did against Judah, if he can remain calm and collection, not indecisive in his approach...which was Peterson's issue, then he's more than capable of pulling this off. Garcia doesn't have to force the action or do anything he doesn't want to do as Matthysse will be the aggressor.

Garcia needs to keep a good balance, stay at mid to long range and counter Matthysse as he lunges in, jus' step back counters. Garcia can occasionally lead but he's gonna have to be wise with it. This could also end up being a ticking bomb for Garcia if he is unable to accumulate a good amount of damage in the first few rounds.

As I've been saying, 50-50 fight.

love Hopkins, understand he's repping his Philly guy
but Garcia is a dead man, he's not lasting to the final bell
Garcia isn't a defensive savant who can pitch a shutout vs Lucas
he's there to be hit, and when Lucas hits him, it's over

Hopkins, the legend, is too nice... He thinks everybody should be like him...
