Danny Garcia vs Lucas Mattysse

So I'm in between fights tonight with some time on my hands and have found myself YouTubing numerous Danny Garcia fights and Lucas Mattysse fights.

Didn't neccisarily start of with tha intention but I hadn't yet seen Lucas Mattysse vs Devon Alexander and so just went from there.

There were a few things that got me thinking. Firstly the sheer mental strength of both guys. It will almost be a shame to see if one of them has their heart broken in the ring... I'll be honest right of the bat, Garcia could suffer a crushing KO defeat.

Having said that, I think he is the favourite by far - I actually think he is the bigger puncher and is quicker; more explosive overall. Although Mattysse seems like areal tough-nut and also doesn't seem to get credit for his defensive work at such a dangerous range, I wonder if his proximity and pressure will be put off by some stunning Garcia punches.

I'm saying I think it's more likely that Mattysse will give off some distress signals that it is likely that Danny is getting KO'd.

lucas currently weighing at 146.6 and Garcia 151

I'm leaning towards Danny on this one. Wouldn't mind seeing the look on his dads face if Lucas puts him to sleep though!

Lucas by stoppage it'll be another man vs boy fight imo, lucas won't be denied again.

No doubt Lucas has the edge but it's farily an even matchup.

See I don't think Danny is a boy though, he's learning but he's already a bit of a terminator in his own right.

What do you make of their respective weights?

I think Matthysse has a big edge in experience over Garcia. Matthysse has been on the big stage before in his opponent's hometowns, in St. Louis for the fight with Devon Alexander and in New Jersey for the fight with Zab. An argument can be made he won those fight, but either way, he has faced slicker boxers than Garcia. I'm not sure what Garcia brings to the table that Matthysse hasn't already seen, whereas I'm not sure Garcia has ever been in the ring with a boxer like Matthysse. If Matthysse is on his game, he should win. Garcia has a determination about him though that makes me think twice picking against him. I like both guys. This should be the fight of the night.

This will be a cracking fight and I will go with Lucas to win. Nothing will give me greater satisfaction that seeing Garcia's dad crying.

I dont know I just don't see garcia as special or anything, in my eyes he's been in the right place at the right time and a lil bit of luck. Beating an ancient morales twice does nothing for me, first time barely, kod khan props for that but we know how that can go, beat zab in a close fight. Matthyse on the other hand in my eyes barely beats zab and devon but doesn't get the nod after a somewhat pedestrian start and then just goes nuclear on everybody, he's koing danny no doubt about it in my mind.

Firstly, I disagree entirely that Garcia is the bigger puncher, Matthysse has more straight KOs and literally double the overall KOs of Garcia.

Secondly, Garcia goes through 3 and 4 fight stints without getting a knock out, something Matthysse has never done due to his brute power.

I believe Matthysse with leave Garcia convulsing on the floor.

I actually hope he gets hit so hard his dad KOs as well.

I think Matthysse will win by KO. I doubt I'll bet on it though. Great fight.
