What exactly did you see in that fight that made you think Matthysse would have won?

I thought Garcia proved that not only could he outbox Matthysse, but he could stand up to his power. Matthysse hit Garcia with some shots that IMO would have knocked out 95% of the JR WW division, but Garcia took them like a champ.
He was blind in ine eye from the 4th round yet it was an extremely close fight. Have you ever tried box with one eye blind folded? It's a massive handicap. If Garcia did not score that late KD and everything else went the same there's a good case for Matthysse winning the fight as he was winnin the 11th up til te KD. That would have given a 3 point swing an win him the fight. Garcia clearly won bu there are plenty of reasons for a rematch
