Matthysse vs Garcia - Would Matthysse have won with both eyes?

[Da Machine]

Garcia was in control the entire time. He caused the swelling. People arguing are ******ed lol

yeah sure lucas should have called time out then postponed the fight for a week or two its not fair that he was punched in his eye this isn't a contact sport after all and its not his fault he has a crappy defense... that eye is the reason lucas went all out and connected his best punch

Unfortunately when you try to have a conversation about the fight these are the types of replies you get every time.

It didn't take a genius to see the fight swing in Garcias favor after the eye swelled. After review of how it happened, and people saying it was a huge left hook turned out to be bogus. It was a fluke injury.

Garcia won the fight, and did what he had to do under the circumstances, but to say Matthysse got his ass kicked, or to say the fight would have never went differently irks me to end.

There was a change is the Matthysse's pace after the incident so yes, I believe Matthysse was on his way to a stoppage. Garcia is tough, but I've seen him hurt from lesser hitters. They need to rematch.

i thought garcia was doing good and kept the pace.

now morales maidana is a diffrerent story

Yes I do think Matthyse would have won. He was breaking Danny down and made him spit his gum shield out. I had it 4-2 the first 6 but it could have been 3-3 of course.

From the 7th Matthyse simply took shots he couldn't see and was still there.

I think so, it clearly affected him down the stretch and the BS knockdown screwed his chance to win on the cards.

2 eyes or one eye Matthysse would have still lost you guys need to wacth this fight from a different angle . Danny didn't get hit as clean as I thought he did. Danny was doing a lot of little things to take the steam off Matthysse punches that you cant see from the showtime feed

this a fan recording this fight

Because he was hyped, it doesn't matter that he was injured and that he had a fluky KD called on him apparently. He deserved it in their eyes.

There is truth to this post - the momentum of the fight definitely shifted when that eye was swelling. I give the props to Garcia tho.

Who knows what would've happened? You can only speculate that Matthysse would've won. He could've been knocked down in round 8 and beat down from there for all we know. The fact is, from punches thrown by Garcia, Matthysse's eye swole up (clean connect or not). It happens, and it changes fights.
It's like Herol Graham saying: "I would've beaten Jackson for sure if he hadn't knocked me out"!!!!! LOL
Who cares about the woulda coulda shouldas? It was a good scrap and Garcia pulled it out, despite all the hype Matthyse had. It's one of the beautiful things about boxing.
