Lucas Matthysse: "Rematch vs Garcia is signed and only thing left is to set the date"

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Rematch would be bad for both fighters,,,,

Danny has earned a big fight with his wins over holt, campbell, morales twice, khan, judah, and lucas..... He needs to get a big fight, namely floyd in may 2014

Lucas needs to regroup and work on his skill set,,, Coming straight in and looking for big bombs will only get you so far,,against elite fighters like danny or jmm or floyd- being one-dimensional will get you beat as it did saturday night....

i would rather see danny-floyd and lucas vs a tune-up and then maybe maidana fight in 2014.....

lucas needs to really develop his skill set if he is going to remain at the elite, especially now that his aura of invincibilty has been crushed

[Porter's Dad]

You're right but the fact of the matter is that he shouldn't have to rematch him. Garcia beat him comprehensively.

So comprehensively that if that bogus knockdown wasn't called, he would have lost on the scorecards.

Exceeding expectations does not equal a comprehensive win.

Danny fought a great fight but he just about eked a win over a guy who was badly hampered by a horrendous eye injury he got just as he was starting to take over the fight.

A re-match would be amazing but we all know how this business works and it ain't happening. Lucas has just gotta start again. Hopefully GBP still believe in him.

Are you serious. The fight was 7-5 on almost everyones card. GARCIA didn't take over until the eye.

without question? it was super close and garcia only won because matthysse got tangled in the ropes after a rabbit punch. also tony weeks reffing was god awful. anyway it was a very good almost great(all the holding ruined it) fight so why not do it again.

Too each it's own,I did not see a close fight at all..I seen a 8-4 9-3 kinda fight..Which imo does not call for a rematch..Yes without question..Al is a big Matt's fan,at fights end even he knew who the winner was..There was no question Garcia beat the breaks off of Matt's..I pick Garcia to win,but I did not think he'd do it in such dominate fashion..The fight was not close,once again there was a very clear winner..

We'll see how Canelo does but I don't get why so many people are eager to feed Danny to Floyd. He's got a hot hand and is growing his fanbase and could be a star one day.

So Broner can get babied and fed easy fights while Danny gets built up as an opponent?


Last thing you want is another David Reid/Fernando Vargas situation.

WARTTHYSSE!!! I am definitely putting money down on Lucas to win the rematch.

I had to laugh at both highlighted..Dude,the KD was clea,nothing bogus about it..I never felt Matt's in control of that fight,yet alone about to take it over(very big overstatment)..Matt's does not deserve a rematch..I know it's tough for a lot of people to hear(cause Matt's is a easy guy to like)but that's the truth..

[Uturn]

Wow. Props to Garcia.

This fight is very marketable. First fight was awesome.

[PureBoxingCEO]

Matthysse without swollen eye gets the win. He was overwhelming Garcia until his eye closed. He will get it right next time, just like Alvarado against Rios

Garcia landed 24% of his shots over the first half of the fight whereas Matthysse had landed 36% of his shots (ended up landing 36% overall). I think Lucas also outlanded him by 22 punches during the first 6 rounds. Garcia definitely made the right adjustments and came through in the clutch by busting up Matthysse's eye and getting the knockdown. I had 4-2 Matthysse through 6 though.

I think it was closer than you make it seem, but as you said to each his own. It does look like the judges and many boxing experts/writers (for what it's worth) had it fairly close.

[El Angel]

WARTHYSSE! He can do this.
