Lucas Martin Matthysse vs. Danny Garcia

Good post.

This is my problem with Garcia in this fight. I can't imagine him boxing on the back-foot, or being able to keep Matthysse off balance enough to prevent him getting good shots off. His style of fighting seems to play into Lucas' hands and if you're going to stay in close, either the left-hook or straight-right is going to land before long.

 

In order to beat Lucas you have to be able to move and circle you can't be stationary with a guy like that. He has good timing and will find you all night. If Garica was more mobile I would probably favor him but he isn't.

 

I absolutely, sincerely have no fukkin idea how you just brought Khan into this. I was talking about the kind of style that would give Mathysse trouble and how Garcia is not that kind of fighter.

But in reference to Khan, let me say that i believe that both Mathysse and Garcia KO him (again, in Garcia's case) and that when i talk about fighters who are fast, slick and quickfooted i do not include him into that group because i don't think he is slick. At all. His only defence is his footspeed. He has no head movement, badly gauges the right moment to attack and his guard is anything but impenetrable.

 

Quite the contrary. A lot of people are picking against Danny once again. Most want to see him get knocked out due to his flashy style outside the ring and his Dad's personality. Lots of hate which shouldn't be warranted. Danny isn't responsible for his Dad's actions. If you listen to his interviews Danny says all the right things. He doesn't appear to have any personality flaws (I'll give him a pass for doing rap videos).

As for what goes on inside the ring, people seem to get carried away by Lucas' power which is great but it's not everything. LM just knocked out Peterson. Great. But Danny has knocked out Khan, who at the time, was considered a top guy at 140. This is also a great accomplishment. People say Khan was winning until he got KOed...but Danny adjusted and got an inarguable win whereas Lucas could never really adjust to KO Zab and Devon. Garcia's win over Zab is so underrated. It showed Garcia's ability to not rely so much on his left hook as well as the ability to implement a gameplan drawn up to mute an opponent's strength. What happens when or if Garcia finds a way to take away Lucas' power? Uh oh.

 

Why so wide Matthyse stoppage.

I'd call this a 50-50. Both guys have good power, both guys have good skill.

Favour Matthyse slightly maybe.

Except neither gets up. I voted draw for a reason :hey

 

Ofcourse I do.

I was just wondering why it was by such wide margin. If a fight was so close you wouldn't expect it to be by such a wide margin in a poll.

Atleast I wouldn't.

Maybe Matthysse just has more fans/hype, or maybe I'm completely wrong and this fight isn't 50-50 atall. Matthysse is a beast alright.

 

In Garcia favour regarding these polls, if you remeber the khan fight - both general and brit forums had Khan winning by big numbers - i was in the minority who picked Garcia by KO - which at the time seemed a small minority pick but now seems ridiculous. Garcia always seems to find a way to win, like his pops says, people been betting against him all his life.

I'm still going for matthysse here though in a brutal war

 

chin? Have we seen Garcia hurt?

 

IB was just giving an example.

But yes, Garcia has been stunned and showed it against Judah

 

Yes against Judah.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl

Of course I understand......now let me prove that I don't.
