    Does anybody else realize how much damage Danny Garcia took in the Matthysse fight?

    EDIT: Mods can you remove the poll please. I posted the wrong poll in the wrong thread.



    I'll put it bluntly -- He took enough shots to the body and head to kill a man. To kill two men.

    Garcia said in the post fight interview,

    "He hit me with a good shot that clogged up my ear. My ear is still clogged."

    Ear clogged? You know what that means. That's head damage. That's called getting the wires in your head rearranged. Killing brain cells.

    Danny's father Angel Garcia told the media his son was urinating blood for weeks after the Lucas Matthysse fight.

    This is the kind of shot takes years off your life. Note that this is a custom-made mouthpiece flying out of the mouth of Garcia. A custom-made mouthpiece isn't supposed to fall out of a boxer's mouth. It just goes to show how insane Matthysse's power is. TNT in his fists.



    If those kinds of bombs made Garcia urinate blood, imagine what it is doing to his head. I hope he is okay.



    Now don't get me wrong. I understand Swift ultimately won the fight, but Matthysse got his licks in. He put hands on Danny in a major way. Real recognize real. Real motherfuckers know who really won.

    I respect Danny Garcia. He seems like a nice kid. And for his sake I am very glad he has been cherrypicking since the Lucas bout. But I think he should retire -- preserve himself as a human being. When the best fight the best, everyone gets beat up. Garcia nor Matthysse will ever be the same after they fought, after they beat the daylights out of each other.

    Angel said Matthyse got power. Danny has custom mouth guards and they flew out, but Danny showed grit. It was even before the eye injury.

        Just because one has iron in his jaw doesn't mean he doesn't take damage. Look at Ali. Ali had a legendary ATG chin. But shit breaks.

            ... before the "stitch-punch" Danny took a lot of punishment... without the "stitch-punch" Danny would have been stopped eventually.

                  Well.....look at how each fighter has moved on from that match. Matthysse hasn't lost since and has looked great while Garcia has had to be matched up with soft touches to protect him. Even so, he has needed 2 questionable decisions in fights where he got beaten up to keep da 0 and in the other fight, he was facing a tiny pizza delivery boy.

                  I think the Matthysse war damaged Garcia to the point where he doesn't have it anymore.

                    to me matthysse has looked more physically fragile post-garcia than he did before, which is generally a real sign of being damaged. garcia, on the other hand, physically seems the same as ever, but mentally not there any more. i don't know whether it's complacency or he just can't get up except for the big, big fights any more
