Who else thinks that Danny Garcia would stop Lucas Matthysse?

He will cause some problems, but will eventually lose.

 

Matthysse will win

 

Well, doesn't that suggest Danny probably wouldn't stop Lucas? Zab, it can be strongly argued, is a heavier hitter than Danny.

Lucas didn't like Zab's movement. Danny's feet are slow.

Ring IQ? You've clearly not though this through, have you.

Danny's power's overrated. Lucas has a great chin (so does Danny, in fact).

One thing, however, which could be Lucas' downfall, is his guard when rushing into attack. It's way too low and you don't have to be the most accurate of counterpunchers to catch him coming in. No doubt Danny will have plenty of opportunities to land his body-spinners. Whether they'll have the same effect, though, I doubt.

 

I'll have a paypal bet with you for $20 that Lucas beats Danny Dog **** Garcia. I think he will even stop him or his corner will retire him.

 

No really. The kid knows how to break his opponents down. I was impressed by what he said before he fought Khan. He talked a bit about his game plan and it was brilliant. He's a smart fighter. Not the fastest. Not the most talented. Not the strongest. But he's not terrible at anything. He's solid all around.

 

When Garcia gets caught with that same uppercut trying to land one of his eyes closed left hooks its gonna be lights out

 

I agree with Rico, Garcia's got a good head on his shoulders, but his ring IQ is becoming overrated, mainly because of his timing. He's improving all the time it seems, and I've been impressed by him...but I haven't seen him adapt too much, haven't seen him take away an opponents strengths or take away punches, etc. Don't get me wrong, his IQ is good, but not on the level it has been discussed since his wins over Khan and Morales.

 

Only the minority of boxers are capable of carrying the power up to elite level.

Also...

Matthysse >>> Maidana.

 

Khan isn't exactly the most complext of puzzles, is he. Even an idiot like me guessed what Garcia should and would come to do on the night. I agree, he's an all-round good fighter -- good power, excellent chin, good thinker -- but a man who can avoid being hit and a ring IQ that'll frustrate and stop someone like Matthysse? I doubt. Like I said, he's an all-round good fighter, but not an all-round exceptional fighter - which is what you need to be to do what the OP's suggesting.

 

Garcia will walk through Matthysse.

People base their whole judgement on Garcia off the first 2 rounds in the Khan fight. Khan managed to be effictive against Garcia early knowing he takes time to adjust to his opponents rhythm but as soon as Garcia warmed up , it was all over.

Matthysse is nowhere near Khan in terms of skill, foot speed or hand speed and comes in to attack slow and recklessly. He'll eat bombs and end up a KO or tko victim.

The only thing stopping this fight is money. Lucas doesn't bring a tosser to the table.

 

Garcia doesn't walk through anyone, he sits back and counterpunches.

 

Sit back where? On the ropes? When was Danny ever on the ropes? He sets up a counter then seeks and destroy. Khan and Morales were both walked down.
