Comments Thread For: Angel Garcia: Matthysse's Chin Has Never Been Tested

[Russian Crushin]

This is why I picked Danny Garcia by KO or decision over Mattysse.

These Argentine fighters they can crack but they have shakey chins.

Plus Lucas chin i pointy and his head is small not a good sign.

I like Lucas too, its just I am using my brain here and always speak it real.

Most of the guys who can take a punch have big heads or wide square jaws, Lucas can have Marquez like ability to recover from knock down but that is yet to be seen. Marquez gets dropped a lot but he has good recovery

As oppossed to puerto ricans?

i dont know judah hit lucas with a left uppercut that would have destroyed a lot

of fighters. in fact it almost knocked cottos head off who had to foul and hold to

get through it. judah can crack

lucas shook it off

I agree, Danny can trade in the pocket and test his Lucas's chin if he wants to but I don't think it's gonna end in his favor! Danny's a great counter puncher, so I think he should pick his shots, stick and move

Garcia had his bell rung by Morales, and according to Pacman, Morales hit him the hardest prior to the 4th Marquez fight.

Morales was a zombie and super washed up but in the first fight he was able to test Garcia's chin, also Zab Judah tested Garcia's chin.

Lucas I haven't really seen his chin hit flush multiple times or hit with a hard hook or punch, I hope I am wrong and he can take a punch because I like that guy. But I don't think he has ever faced a puncher like Garcia.

One thing about Danny Garcia is he reminds me of Canelo, sneaky deceptive timing, he basically plods or waits for you to try and punch and move and than throws that hook. Canelo has fast hands and he can catch you when you lean back with a quick two piece combo that catches you off guard.

Somebody has a sig of Lucas taking the absolute flushes counter left uppercut by Judah... Then smiling at him...

I don't see how that doesn't qualify as a "chin-test" that he not only passed, but scored 100% on

There's also Sotto... Sotto supposedly hurt him by his own admission, and the only way we knew it was becuz he told us. When u watch the fight, he takes a couple steps back, but keeps on fighting...

Again, not a tested chin???

Chaves and Maidana are vulnerable to the body, not so much the chin. Matthysse has a reasonably strong chin too. Martinez is maybe the only top Argie fighter who gets dropped more than most.

This is going to be a classical confrontation. The winner will be the one who fights with discipline. Either way, its going to be brutal and bloody. I don't know if Garcia is slick enough to avoid all the bombs Lucas will being throwing at him. Garcia has no room for mistakes. But, Danny puts anyone to sleep if he catches them flush with that left hook. Its truly hard to pick a winner, but I'm giving Lucas the nod. I will be cheering for Danny, but I just can't picture him standing up to all that fire power for 12 rounds. Whoever wins this, hands down, will be the best at 140.

Nobody has watched the soto fight but he has had the more success then anyone Lucas has fought. He was unleashing good combos and went toe to toe with him. It led to him getting KO'd but he was hitting lucas with a lot of hard punches

[boxingmanic]

Both these guys have never been down but they've only fought guys with decent punching power, not 1 punch KO power which they both have.

Think Matthysse has the better chin though as he's never really been hurt like Garcia was in the Judah fight or the 10th round v Morales.

Why are you lying? The shot Judah hits him is a glancing shot. The shot he catches Cotto is right underneath the chin almost the throat, it was perfect.
It was also closer. Judah was reaching versus LM

I'd still expect Lucas to have a better chin than Cotto but this is a lie.

Post both up if you don't believe me

[rogdogx]

I expect this fight will show Lucas has a better chin and more power than Garcia

[joesaiditstrue]

Angel, thats because he has better defense than your son.
