    Same old story. They thought their guy was invincible and would never need it.

      exactly the same thing i thought, imo lucas believed in his own hype he thought he'd knock danny out just by jabbing.

      if you notice lucas didn't straighten up his punches till like the 6 round he underestimated danny and his corner didn't help either

        I don't know what fight you guys were watching! The corner did brilliant with the eye. Stopped it from closing and after the 8th it wasn't a problem at all. Lucas just isn't what people thought he was.

                Whenever I have seen an eye swell instantly like that, I have never seen an enswell reduce it.

                Someone called it wrong saying they didn't have one. They did, but at some point, someone decided to use their hands, which did look like it sorta opened it up but then once the round got underway, it would be in bad shape again. I'm not sure if it would have helped but the easy narrative would be that messed up.

                But really, how many times have you see an eye like that get better? Rocky 3?

                  LOL I thought the same thing. How was that working??

                  Matty needs to switch to Martinez's trainer. Those clowns in his squad will only hold him back.

                    good point about nothing can really help an eye like that but i think the en swell wouldve helped more .

                    like someone else said once garcia jabbed the eye it got puffed up again the thumb wasnt keeping the swelling down
