In knocking out Lamont Peterson, Lucas took the classic puncher's risk by choosing to simultaneously hook with Peterson. Although I am torn about who will win the fight between Lucas and Danny, I am confident in saying he should avoid taking the same risk with Garcia that he did with Peterson. If Lucas gambles and tries to simultaneously hook with Danny, he could very well be looking up at the lights. Garcia, although still a far way from being a superb technician, has an incredible sense of timing and speed. Lucas may very well win, but it won't be because he hooked at the same time with Danny. In fact if someone told me that such an occurrence was going to happen (Danny and Lucas hooking at the same time, seeing who can find the target quicker and harder) I'd put my money on Danny. Hope all you guys enjoy the fights on the 14th, I'm so excited because I believe it will be an historic and amazing night for the sport we love. Peace.
Garcia will be drueling all over the floor screaming for his papi if he ever exchanges hooks with Matthysse
Mathysse is the quicker puncher of the two, and his hook is much tighter when throwing. He is just the wrong guy for Garcia to face, mandatory be damned.
this. he's dealt with hard punching faster guys. he's not going to have a problem countering matthysse. the question in my mind is can lucas take what danny is dishing?
Mathysse will eat Garcia's lunch when they meet. I don't see it going past 8 rounds, especially if Garcia gets stupid and tries to trade punches with Lucas. I'm sure Danny's dad will let his mouth write checks his sons ass can't cash in this fight.
As al bernstein said... you have to be a master boxer to beat this guy. Alexander and Judah are fights where we see Matthysse focus on just boxing... he was on par with these guys atleast.... He's a beast. Mayweather is the type of guy you need to beat him... Wouldn't blink for a second if Lucas faces him next though... Marquez and Pacquiao stand a good chance also... but obv these three men are all real elite fighters.
Dont think he will be as wild against Garcia He was throwing some wild shots against Peterson he was a bit too anxious
If someone asked me who will win a month ago I would've said Lucas by murder. I just don't see him knocking Danny out. I don't think Danny is going to stand in front of Lucas. IF Lucas does manage to KO Danny I wouldn't be shocked either.
If Lucas and Garcia trade hooks, I think Matthysse could get the better of the exchange. I say this because Lucas was at least aware of Peterson's hook coming, and even though he didn't get his right hand up quick enough, he did pull back a bit and took some of the steam off it. Garcia on the other hand, closes his eyes when he throws his left hook. If him and Matthysse trade hooks, Garcia probably won't see it coming.
Garcia and Lucas won't exchange hooks Garcia has to be in the exact position and scenario to throw his ****** strength left hook... which is his danger punch... The normal Garcia hooks ain't got nothing on Lucas.
Garcia was getting completely outclassed by Khan before Khan's tiffanys chin decided matters once and for all. Mattysee is going to brutalize Garcia. watch and see
look for danny to land a short, fast, crispy counter check hook. it's in his arsenal and is a very effective punch for him. lucas has had his way with guys that aren't on danny's level. it's not going to be easy come sept 14th.
I actually agree. No need to hook with Danny. He can beat Garcia without exchanging hooks with him (dannys best punch) If he does decide to, it could be the one way Danny wins this fight.
