Was Matthysse vs. Garcia a let down?

[DoktorSleepless]

No real knockdowns from either and the holding from Garcia ruined all possibility of having any exciting back and forth exchanges. It only ended up being okay.

We need a TV new game show called, "The Blame Game"!

I think that this would be a hit show if the fanatics tuned in or were asked to send in questions, lmao. The entire show would consists of Matthysse, pac, and Margarito questions.

Oh, and of course if you get to the final round which is called Floyd's Round-"Who's At Fault",...and if you win, you win, you win a million dollars, a rope chain, and a TMT Diamond encrusted T-Shirt lol...

I was expecting a War, so i was disappointed in that, but Garcia was smart and effective and Boxed his way to victory. He impressed me, though i had underestimated him, and my standards werent very high for him. Overall, i was happy with it as a Boxing match, but disappointed in not getting a War.

Garcia vs Broner would be interesting.

It most certainly was ... For 90% of this site. I enjoyed it. :bukkake:

a little bit. i was expecting something along the lines of hagler-hearns. i was surprised by garcia's boxing ability and defense. and to be totally honest, i really wanted matthysse to massacre him. garcia showed a good chin. definitely an impressive performance.

i thought it was entertaining and close enough to warrant a rematch

This is probably the primary reason why anyone would hate on this fight. Cause too many people convinced themselves that Lucas was a boxing God. And instead of getting a Lucas lead massacre, they witness a young student of the game pull a remarkable upset.

I expected more drama.

I expected more drama.

Everyone did, but Danny said, "Imma box because Matthysse can't box".

I do not know what people want anymore..2 iron chinned fighters walked thru the fire to entertain and win and people are not satisfied??do ya'll want someone to die or be beheaded???both guys came to win,walked forward at all times and people still complain??ya'll are what is wrong with boxing

In a way, it was.

Don't get me wrong, it was the most exciting fight on the entire PPV card, but I genuinely feel that Matthysse's eye injury robbed us (the fans) of a potentially legendary slugfest that would've ended in one fighter or the other being KTFO'd.

Fight of the night, but it could've been so much more, IMO.

I agree with Bringer, if his eye didn't swell, that could have been an epic slugfest. But it happens, I hope to at some point see a rematch.

Garcia closed his eye with a legal punch

no , but the ref was a let down ... tony weeks and bayless(as much as i like him ) dont need to be reffing when one fighter's game is more effective on the inside...they put a fighter on a great disadvantage imo...

what did the ref do wrong?
