    Anyone has a chance, but I don't fancy Dannys too much, just like I didn't fancy Petersons

    Let's put it like this: Danny Garcia has more of a fanbase, lives in the U.S. and is hanging around with Haymon strongholds like Broner and Mayweather. Does he have a legitimate chance? OF COURSE he does. He has enough power to hurt Matthysse, but he also should have the judges in his favor come fight night.

    Matthysse likely needs a knockout to win.

    Matthysse is the rightful favorite imo, but Danny is as live an underdog as they come. Of course hes got a chance to win this fight.
     
  5. If Lucas doesn't KO Danny he wont win :deal

    Danny is much more marketable. Sad that boxing has come to this.

    I do want Danny to win though

    Yup. Just don't think he will. Im in the minority but I think this fights going the distance. Just have a feeling Dannys chin will hold up. IDK.

    A better thread would be who has a better chance to win on sept 14th, canelo or Garcia. Honestly I don't have an answer cause I give both zero chance to win.

    Anybody has a "chance." But a "legitimate" chance? Nope.

    Danny Garcia is counting on is personal referee and judges to help him win the fight. Garcia will run like Hell, knowing that all he has to do is be standing at the end of the fight to get the decision. The fix is in, but Matthysse will overcome the fix by knocking Garcia out, but will Garcia's personal referee allow Matthysse to knock Garcia out? He will do all he can to help Garcia and Garcia knows it. Matthysse has already been cheated out of two wins, so he learned to knock his opponent out. Before the Peterson fight someone broke into Matthysse's house and destroyed his visa/passport. They didn't steal anything, just destroyed his visa. Matthysse had to fly into America right before the fight without any rest. Will Garcia have someone to break into Matthysse's house and do the same?

    the judges judging this fight will probably be in Al Haymon's pocket and give the decision to Danny Garcia if Matthysse fails to knock him out

    Garcia is decent hes patient he can fight. But he has little head movement and his footspeed is lacking. if his hand speed aint great - not even sure why they call him swift.

    Lucas is stronger, a big puncher and has some skills himself hes not as crude as say Maidana i just see no way for danny to win this. i know danny beat zab and Lucas didnt (offcially) but Zab had danny ready to go Lucas will have him OUT

    Garcia has to have at least a 1/3 chance in my mind.

    Are you being serious? No chance at all? Mate, think about it. Khan, who argubaly has the best hand-speed in modern boxing, forced his fight for 3 rounds, if you listen to the commentary they thought the Brit would whitewash the fight. What happened next and why? Because Garcia has immense pateince, skill and has good variety. For Khans speed, see Matthysse's power.

    How can you insinuate he has no chance, pretty much saying he is a bum champion lol. Garcia can take it the full 12 I feel. In fact I am putting money on it after careful consideration.

    Don't hook with a hooker. If matthysee remembers that, he will walk through him.
