Anyone think that knockdown on lucas was kinda odd?

[Build That Wall]

No, not at all. It was legit.

Garcia hit him in the back of the head(may not have been his intention, this can happen) which allowed him to rush him into the ropes and land a couple of hard hits.

That's what I mentioned a little above your post

Finally someone ACTUALLY watched the fight!

Green K for that!

I was being sarcastic. I'm not talking about any punch. There was no punch behind the head.

Lucas ducked underneath right hand and Garcia turned him into the ropes, side stepped him scored the knockdown.

Oh right my bad.

[daggum]

weeks stopped the fight when garcia was badly hurt in order to give him time to recover but lets lucas get tangled in the ropes without stepping in. all you can say is lol.

If that had had of happened, do you think it would have been unfair for Lucas to have got the decision?

Well, that was a 9-8 round for Garcia, he got 1 point deducted for low blows.

So -if- the referee doesn't call the KD and -if- he gives a point deduction to Garcia , then Matthysse would have gotten a 10-8 round. I don't think that would have been fair.

I actually agree with both decisions taken by the referee. Garcia was fighting a "dirty" (in a boxing sense) fight and the point deduction after so many fauls was called for.

As for the knock down, with that hugely swollen eye Matthysse looked epic, reminded me a bit of La Motta in his "st valentine's massacre" against SRR . I'd have to watch it again, but it looked a legit KD to me.


It was a good, competitive fight.

wtf stop being in denial to al lucas fans.

He got put down by two punches and he was going anyway.

He was lucky not to be stopped.

[Mister Wolf]

If your opponent throws a punch and you expose the back of your head to the punch then thats your fault. The same thing happened with the Bradley vs Peterson knockdown. You cant come charging in with your face pointed down trying to hide your chin get caught on the side of the head or the back of it and cry that you got rabbit punched.

Fk Garcia survival mode ass motherfka. Saying he was coming to rumble with Matthyse and then fighting as dirty's goddamn Andrew Golota. I don't care what anyone says that fight was close and a rematch can be argued. Feed him to Mayweather.

Excuses. Garcia was throwing sharp counter punches and bombs with Lucas the whole fight. A fight in which people thought he wouldn't make it past the early rounds. Give the man his props.

LOL. This guy. So Matthysse got robbed for the 3rd time. He's really 37-0 now.
