It's two potential big names and ultimately one has to lose. That doesn't mean anyone's being "sacrificed", it's just a good fight. Losses mean far too much these days.
Is Danny Garcia Being Offered in Sacrifice?

Thank you, a loss is not the end of the world as long as the fighter went out like a warrior. That being said, hope Lucas gives swift a loss.Comment

I used to have an Architecture Design teacher that said that if design-wise you repeat something two times it just a pair, if its three times it becomes a rule.
1) Yesterday I saw this video, where WBC president Jose Sulaiman is clearly all about Matthysse.Maybe without realising it, he commits an "acto fallido", calling Danny the challenger at a point. His prefference for Matthysse is clear in the video in my opinion.
2)A few minutes later I found this article:
Stay updated with the latest boxing news, fight schedules, and match previews. Your source for all things boxing.
The author seems to think the Matthysse-Garcia fight is intended to of course showcase Floyd's next challenger, the boxer that wins this fight. Now, give me a minute here and follow this line of tohught for a second: Who needs the most exposure, Danny or Lucas? Sure, the kind of money Danny was probably demanding for this fight is easier tocome up with as a Floyd-Canelo undercard, but it also makes for a very smart move if you're expecting the lesser known fighter to win.
As the article says, we all saw Richard Shaefer go nuts after the destruction of Peterson, calling Lucas "The new Paquiao". It was pac vs Floyd the fight all fans were left wanting for after all...
3)And then you have the new cover of The Ring Magazine September 2013, as if there was any doubt about what's going on and the route GBP and Mayweather wants to go for.
3 times makes the rule.
What do you guys think?Comment

Danny was never knocked down in the amateurs or pro's. Lucas was dropped twice in the amateurs. Plus, his brother's jaw is glass. Lucas can't magically have an "iron" chin when he shares the same genes and facial structure as Walter and the hardest puncher he's faced has been Zab Judah.. Sure, Lucas can punch, but Danny also hits harder than anyone Lucas has fought. All the displaced Pacquiao fans will be shocked when "the next Pacquiao" gets timed by Swift.Comment

People are also MASSIVELY overlooking Canelo against Mayweather. I think we could see a rematch after perhaps Floyd's first loss. I can remember almost everyone in here barring a few (including myself) who said Trout was going to trash and KO Canelo, expose him easily. Now that he won, the tune has changed a little bit but Canelo is a strong, fast guy. He is going to catch Mayweather, the Ghost was tagging Mayweather to the body fairly easily.
In any case, it should be a great, great card, really looking forward to it. I'm due to close on my house the first week of September and I want to get the TV installed, new couch, satellite moved and the grill setup so I can have a sweet party for this to celebrate the move.Comment
