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

[_original_]

Well, who has tested Garcia's chin thus far? If you want to use Judah as an example (which you can), then you have to use it for Matthysse as well. The fact of the matter is, this the first time both guys face a big puncher in each other. Makes for a compelling match.

hate or like him angel speaks the truth every1 except devon and judah were scared of lucas power the 2 guys who weren't beat him i wont be surprised if danny finishes the fight in 5 rounds

Danny Garcia is American...

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.

And even then, most Martinez KDs are due to balance issues rather than getting buzzed or hit with a clean shot - just comes with his fighting style. Williams barely grazed him in their first fight for that KD, Pavlik hit him when he was off-balance and had his feet together, and Macklin got lucky with a trip. Only JCC Jr (and if you really want to bring it up, Margarito) really rocked him, and he still blasted Junior back.

Judah hit him with a clean uppercut dead on the chin and didnt even stun him chin seems good to me Alexander landed some good shots and took them well.

Old morrales and Judah managed to hurt danny

If Matthysse's chin has never been tested, then also Garcia's chin has never been tested.

Probably Matthysse fought the better fighters:
Both fought Judah, although Matthysse fought a younger version.
Alexander and Peterson are overally better opponents than a shot Morales and Khan in my opinion.

I think Matthysse has the better chin, but I'll only know for sure in 2 weeks.

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???

I always gotta laugh when yall bring up that uppercut from a 142 pound Zab to justify Lucas's chin....Swift will be a buck fifty and a breeze come scrap time....let's see how his chin holds up when a big JWW touches it

[mrbigshot]

LMAO dude you are making me laugh hard now, that was not a good example show it in real time motion, because Lucas brely got touched and he reacted almost like he was hurt and smiled.

I seen Cotto take a real Zab uppercut and shook it off after he wobbled for a second.

That was a real Zab Uppercut this one is just glancing, show some flush shots.

I want head snapping action, even Zab has been tested, Zab has one of the most tested chins man and he never been KO cold ever.

I am telling you I am never wrong when I make bold predictions and I am non biased, I am not a fan of Danny or Angel and am a Huge Lucas fan.

I got Danny by KO or decision, but if there is a KO it will be Danny KOing Lucas.

HAHAHAHAAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH god man your an idiot

Remember, Amir Khan KO'd Judah (who beat Lucas) in 5 and dropped Maidana in the first round. Khan was hitting Danny flush on the chin with his right hand at will.

Morales on roids was hitting Danny with shots that would have KO'd Matthysse.

Matthysse got KD'd at least twice in the amateurs, where Maidana knocked him down and beat him 3 times.

Fuq triangle theory, this is reality.

[FerFAL]

Olusegun ( the one Danny ducked), Soto, those were wars where Matthysse's chin was tested and passed with flying colours. Lets no forget the uppercut from Judah that he ate flush to the chin... and laughed.
That would be the same Judah that hurt Danny and had him running for the last 3 rounds and almost knocked him down. Same guy didnt do half as much damage to a far less polished version of the Matthysse we have today.
Like them or not, those are the facts.
