Comments Thread For: Hopkins Praises Garcia, Says Matthysse Had No Plan B

[Frank Ducketts]

Did anyone get the feeling that Matthysse Garcia was a draw or that had Danny "not" dropped Matthysse that Matthysse wins?

[Frank Ducketts]

Matthysse is a hall of famer. Even when he loses, he wins. You can't top that.

Then why don't you have Matthysse in your sig loser?

[daggum]

If Tony Weeks wasn't the ref, Matthysse wins. Aka, Matthysse really won.

Did you know that that's a fact. No really, that's literally a fact.

do you think another ref would have let that happen? do you think another ref lets so many low-blows go unpunished? yes maybe the guy from mares-agbeko. you said yourself weeks had a bad night but now you are defending him?

the judges would have scored the fight for matthysse if the knockdown didn't happen. now that's not a fact because you never know how judges will score but the 11th was matthysse's best round of the entire fight so logically they would have gave him the round and the fight.

The knockdown in round 11 was legitimate to me because I think Lucas was hurt by the right hook to the body. This caused him to bend over slightly where he block a left hook to the body but the next right graced the back of his head (more of a forearm), which to me is not a rabbit punch. Besides how can you expect the referee to react to someone being trapped in the ropes so quickly? That whole sequence happened in a total of three seconds.

I was being sarcastic PBP lol...

You hate boxing, people like you are why the sport is corrupt.

so the people that complain about corruption are the ones that make the sport corrupt? the people who like rabbit punch knockdowns and low blows are the true fans?

[daggum]

if duran-buchanan just happened you guys would think that was a legit ko. buchanan complaining about fouls? what a crybaby! buchanan threw a couple rabbit punches during the fight so duran's low blow knockdown was fair. right guys? isn't that the way it works?

Where have I defended him?

All I'm saying is Weeks isn't the reason he lost like you are ridiculously implying.

We don't know how the 11th would have ended. Garcia didn't go at him as much after he got the KD and secured the 10-8, if he didn't get the KD he might have pushed more and landed a huge punch that had him out on his feet. We don't know what would have happened.
