Comments Thread For: Garcia-Matthysse: Fighters, Writers Give Their Preditcions

People fail to understand that Garcia does have a decent defense. Although he gets hit sometimes he is still successful in negating the affect of a punch. He never gets hit CLEAN. Garcia can take away the affect of a punch by using his wrist, gloves, and shoulders to perry punches. He does move his head too and it might not be as good as some elite fighters but he still moves his head. We've only seen him a little stunned by Judah but it wasn't too serious. Garcia will take the affect away from Matthysse's punches. You can still get hit in boxing and still avoid being hurt. These Matthyssetards don't understand.

Garcia gets hit flush a lot man, he's standing in mud most of the time too. Morales, Khan, and Judah all tagged him plenty. What garcia has going for him is his timing, and that's all I can really say. His timing is so good because he's getting tagged so much he just waits to throw a bomb.

I guess I imagined that Judah had Garcia on ******treet in the last few rounds. Matthysse will knock the Eyebrows off Garcia and will make the cokehead Angel cry like a little pansy

I'm Surprised ANYONE Picks Garcia; I See Him Getting Blown Out In Less Than 3 Rounds!

Both of Matthysse losses were controversial, not even close to getting beat convincingly. Lucas is really taking his game to new heights, he's bigger and stronger than anyone in that division, he's no non sense, trains like a warrior, doesn't talk trash, wants no attention, no celebrity... I see him picking up where he left off with Peterson, and just train wrecking Garcia. Danny Boy gets hit way too much, and Matthysse is not the guy you want hit by. Ask Alexander who ran and Peterson who went to sleep.

I agree. Garcia is the definition of a flatfooted fighter with very little movement other than the occasional backstep. And when you consider that Matthysse is not a 36 years old blownup Jr Welter, nor has a glass face like the guy from the UK, has me convinced that the Argentine will dismantle Garcia inside 10rounds. With the exception of an Al Haymon decision (which will happen if it goes the Distance), Garcia stands little chance to win.

If Garcia tries to box, man oh man is he gonna be in trouble. If all Matthysse had was power, he wouldn't have made it this far. Garcia needs to gain respect and punch Matts hard in the mouth.

For me the closer the fight gets the more I feel Matthysse is gonna handle his business, He has the advantage in almost every department. I don't know about Garcia being the better boxer, I really don't see that and Matthysse is also faster. The only area that Garcia may be better is in toughness cause Matthysse hasn't been dragged deep in his wins cause he has been the only one handing out the punishment and I'm not sold on his iron chin just yet, taking one uppercut doesn't make you George Chuvalo lol.

Its not impossible for Danny though, I mean most people thought Kirkland had no chance against Angulo but he found a way to do it so I wont count out Garcia.

I find funny how some guys say that García is the better boxer, I mean what's the argument for saying that? He's a very raw boxer and I think Lucas skills are very underrated.

He doesn't throw punches that put him on the mat. Also his Ameatur record is ridiculous. Every boxer whose seen him through the amateurs seems to agree, he's a hell of a boxer when he chooses to be

Who has he beaten that it required much more than that?

LAS VEGAS - In what is being called its own main event, the Unified Super Lightweight World Championship mega-fight between Danny "Swift" Garcia and Lucas "The Machine" Matthysse has boxing fans and media scratching their heads. The task of choosing between Matthysse's power and Garcia's boxing IQ has proven to be a difficult one, even for the most knowledgeable boxing enthusiasts. While Matthysse has a slight edge amongst the sweet science experts listed below, this potential 'Fight of the Year' candidate could certainly go either way.

One thing is for sure, when these two warriors step into the ring at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas this Saturdaynight live on SHOWTIME PPV (9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT), they are going to get the crowd out of their seats and ready for the Mayweather vs. Canelo main event super fight.
