Was Matthysse vs. Garcia a let down?

[bojangles1987]

I'm only disappointed in that I'm a Matthysse fan. The fight itself was good and told me something about Danny Garcia I didn't know. It also created a new young star, which is always good for boxing.

I wasn't rooting for either fighter, but I did promise some casual fans a "great fight that won't go 12".

The swollen eye affected Mattyse's aggression. Say what you want, but I want to see a rematch (I've read Garcia's camp says no however). I understand the swollen eye was caused by a punch, but there was some luck involved in the eye swelling shut so rapidly. I had the fight even before the eye incident.

A trilogy would be nice. Garcia is likely headed to welterweight where he'll be hyped up as a potential Floyd opponent if he can get a good win under his belt. They better match him carefully though, Garcia is still full of flaws.

Luck doesn't break orbital bones bro.

Only people that are mad are all the trolls who scream Lucas KO2 anytime he has a fight schedule.

i dont think it was a let down just because both guys dont get knocked out from first sign of a big punch dont mean it was not a good fight. they threw some vicious punches that in most of their fights would of ended it

The only let down was that the Lucas hardcore fans didn't get the KO that they predicted and trolled for months.

Lucas got handled by Garcia with the obvious game plan that they stuck to

No, the fight wasn't a let down. Whether the eye swelled up or not, Danny had solved Matthysse by round 4. Danny didn't thumb Matthysse, he didn't butt him, he punched him. It is only a let down to Matthysse's fans.

Full credit to Danny for doing the damage, but it was something of a freak injury and it changed the direction of the fight. Again, I take nothing away from Danny, he earned that victory fair and square. I would like to see a rematch, though.

Funny how the same people who said that Matthysse was going to destroy Garcia in a one-sided blowout within 4 rounds are now the same ones saying they were expecting a fight of the year candidate. Please...

Anyway, I thought it was a good fight. I didn't have high expectations to begin with though.

People now are saying that Lucas can be outboxed and that Matthysse is a brawler and Garcia is a boxer. I don't think is that simple. Lucas does great against boxers and to me, he is not easy to outbox. Danny is not just a boxer, he probably is the hardest counter puncher out there. He is smart, he ****s and then clinch. I don't think people like brawlers or boxers, it doesn't work that way. It's more subjective. I follow fighters with different styles. Maybe if it wasn't for Angel Garcia more people were rooting for Danny.
The fight was brutal. Two prime heavy handed champions throwing bombs for twelve round. What else you want?

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.

This basically sums it up for me.

Still an entertaining fight and Garcia impressed me a lot. Just wasn't the slugfest I expected.

Like someone else said, I also recommended this fight to so many casual fans who all seemed disappointed at the end. That was my fault for over-hyping I guess but I was, like most people, convinced that this will be a war ending in a brutal KO.
