Comments Thread For: Alexander: I Told You, Matthysse's Power is Overrated

[Trenchant]

I think Lucas does have crazy power but Garcia is taller and has better ring skills. Matthysse needs to extend on all his shots and use timing and pull the trigger fast, but Garcia was putting his own firepower out there and it was hard for Matthysse to land 2 good shots in a row with good extension and even harder to land a short punch. He has fantastic power but it was nullified by Garcia.

thats the reason why i picked garcia to win in the first place, garcia has shown us that he can box, he's more diverse in what he can do. everyone got caught up in the scary power that matthysse does have.

ppl also tend to forget that garcia does have some pop in his gloves too, even before the matthysse fight, garcia's shown us that he had some good punching power

and power doesn't mean anything if you can't land it, it's been proven time and time again, garcia landed his

With all of this granite chin talk. It sure would be something if Floyd stopped Danny next May.

Its like devons trying to take credit for dannys chin, 100% b*tch move. Devon wasnt saying **** when lucas iced soto,dallas jr, peterson

Didn't this mother****er get dropped by Lucas and barely won a split decision in his own hometown. SMH go give kotelnik, Lucas a rematch you bum and also avenge your loss to Bradley. After you do then you can start calling Floyd out. He wants to fight Floyd meanwhile he can't draw flies to **** and his clinching style don't help either.

This is what I saw.

I didn't really see Danny visably buzzed against Matthysse the way he was against Judah. But that doesn't always mean anything. Danny was always on high alert with Matthysse. Late in the Judah fight I though he kinda lost focus. Judah has extremely fast hands where Lucas' handspeed is average at best. I think Lucas has heavy hands and hits hard. But I don't think he has concusive, once-in-a-generation type power. Many people do. Which is why I consider his power overrated. Not overrated in that he doesn't hit hard. Just overrated from what the masses believe he has.

it seemed like everytime lucas came in, threw and landed a body punch on garcia, garcia immediately clinched and held excessively. i wonder why the ref didn't deduct points on garcia for doing all that holding. not to mention the low blows. by the time the ref finally deducted a point on garcia it was too late. meaning if he would of deducted earlier in the fight, garcia won't have fouled that much. n i dont think his power is overrated either. lucas had knocked down all his previous 34 opponents atleast once with the exception of garcia. yes garcia has a chin but u gotta take into consideration that matthysse had a swollen right eye. preventing him from seeing everytime garcia threw his left hand/hook. n matthysse still made a fight out of it. it was a close fight but me personally i thought matthysse won the fight. not a robbery but again a close fight. n another blunder on the ref's part is not acknowleding that matthysse simply fell and was tangled in the ropes and not dropped by garcia either. i saw extraordinary skill from both men. garcia can box. counter punch. showed extreme poise under pressure but so did matthysse. matthysse also overcame his swollen right eye and gave it to garcia. if matthysse hadn't had that swollen right eye, he would of cruised to a victory whether it was a ko or decision. i like for garcia to give matthysse a rematch but more likely its not gonna happen bc garcias going to the welterweigh division. i like to see matthysse fight alvarado next. im picking alvarado over provodnikov.
