I feel bad for Matthysse

[Southpawology]

Matthysse's cornermen had no end-swell, it probably cost him the fight!

Yes they did but then they stopped using it and used his fingers instead

I honestly thought they did a good job with the swelling. Not much they could've done but at the start of every round it was semi-open till Garcia would close it again with a couple of punches.

[BROOKLYN CESAR]

Every time the momentum is about to shift in his side, something bad happened.

He wins round 6 big, only to get his eye closed by a freaky jab
the following round.

In round 11, he hurts Garcia early, knocking his mouthpiece out.
The ref halts his momentum by giving Garcia time to get a new
guard and recover.

Then in round 12, Matthysse gets desperate and goes ball$ to the
wall, pressuring effectively and busting up Garcia. He loses his
momentum again when Garcia deliberately hits him with a low blow.

It just wasn’t his night. Props to Garcia though for fighting like
a vet and turning it up when he needed to.

Hahahaha Danny whipped his arse thats why it wasnt his nyt!! I wonder if ppl will give it up for danny!! Also i see how lucas fans take it or claim he was robbed again!!

If you take a look at the knock down, he was hit on the back of the head which put him inside the ropes which lead to the kd.
If that was spotted then thats a 3pt swing and he wins.

just bad luck accompanied by a much better than expected garcia imo

[Larry the boss]

I swear there are so many excuses in this thread..its bad luck because he got punched in the eye and it swole? it's bad luck because he got knocked on his ass??damn give Danny his credit...he made all that happen..Lucas didn't slip on a damn bananna peal and hit his eye on the canvas and then it swole up and caused the knockdowm..e got his ass whooped

Lucas is the 1000000000 time king of rabbit punching. It's literally a part of every single one of his fight plans. He can't complain.

On the knockdown, the body shot sent him down. He was going down as soon as it hit, everything else was just ancillary.

kind of sounds like you not giving him props with all those excuses. Then in the end you say props to Garcia

After 6 rounds, most people had the fight even. The turning point was round 7 when Matthysse's eye got busted. It was from a jab by the way, not a hook, Garcia even confirmed it.

I said props to him cos he understood the situation and did what he had to do. He started circling to the left and began unloading hooks and combos cos he knew Matthysse won't see it. I don't know what level of props you expect me to give Garcia. It wasn't like he took him to school like Floyd did to Canelo.

[ИATAS]

and how do you handle someone clinching you? throw them out of the ring dawson style? i'm sure that would have went over well with tony garcia i mean weeks.

Use the jab more and try to stay create a bit of space instead of rushing in and smothering his shots and getting tied up
