    Sometimes an harsh fight breaks your confidence, shatters your self-believe.

    The pain, mostly. It's something only who real fought in real life can understand it.

    People see boxers swinging at each other and believes as long as they aren't stunned they are fine. They are not. Their bodies are SCREAMING.

    Also when you live a life like Garcia one, it spoils you.

    He's no different at all it's just that with brawlers like Lucas is where Garcia can look good whereas he's always stuggled with good boxers and movers, I mean he barley got past a shot Morales in the first fight.

    This isn't about who ruined who, it's called "styles make fights" Ike-Man outlined it pretty well.

    Morales, Khan, Judah, Matthysse, Herrera and now Peterson. They all beat him up.

    Pyrrhic victory, and Mr. Garcia's handlers know it. He's got a stylistic vulnerability to boxers, but they're still preferring that to above average punchers, let alone the big ones. Mr. Peterson has the highest KO % of any of his opponents since that fight, and it's still below 50%.

    Mr. Herrera's is approximately 27%.

    Mr. Salka's is 12.5. At lightweight.

    The race is on to cash him out before someone with any semblance of a punch wears off whatever tread is left on the tires.

    He looked like this vs. Judah and he only beat Matthysse because he had a swollen eye. He has never been that great.

    agree

    looking back that Matthysse injury has flattered Garcia...

    he will get destroyed at 147

    He was urinating blood for a whole year after the Matthysse fight and even now he still has problems hearing out of one ear too. He would've got his ass paddled in that fight had Haymon's referee not allowed him to swing power sapping wrecking b*lls (literally wrecking Lucas' b*lls) in his neither regions all night, counted a KD that shouldn't have been counted and had Lucas not been fighting blind in one eye for a large portion of the fight.

    Even Angel Garcia admits that he took a very, very bad beating in the Matthysse fight, actually.
