Danny Garcia vs Lucas Mattysse

[Spicoli]

I honestly see Matthysse as a more complete package than Garcia and I think he will be suprised by his ability to box and invest to the body. Anyone thinking Lucas is just a bomb chucking clod needing or thirsting for a ko is reading more into a Peterson clubbing than the ones they accuse of doing so. Matthysse is an accumulative and strengthing fighter as a fight goes and Garcia, too me, looked rattled, stuck between styles and faded down the stretch vs Judah. Danny is very very live and fast of hand and both are riding huge momentum but both can also be hit. Of the two, I really think Garcia will land and runs a massive risk of then over commiting and not staying in the tight right package he'll need to as he attacks. Rinse -repeat or box off and let Mattysse feel some sting and use his legs up following. Matthysse lays his bricks a couple at a time, to body and head equally and he has the confidence of a guy not trying to light the fire before he sees smoke. All bs aside, I like Garcia and have said he's a breath of fresh air for the sport but I think Matthysse actually out thinks him and eventually grinds him down for a late win.

If the peterson fight never happened what would be your honest view on matthysse?

Would he still be this monster?

Not as much of a monster. That's for sure. Peterson was coming off a big TKO win over Kendall Holt and Matthysse walked right through him.

Funny thing is that Peterson hasn't fought since and it's been more than six months and still no speculation about his next fight. He still has the belt too. It appears at least on first glance that Matthysse might have ruined Peterson's career.

The Peterson win is better than any win on Garcia's ledger too.

Is Garcia good enough to smother Matthysse's power or stay out of range of it? I think that might be difference in this fight.

In any event, gentlemen, this is going to be a first rate scrap that we're all looking forward to. May the best man win.

How would we compare garcia to judah and alexander?

And compare matthysse to judah and khan?

This really could be the thriller moment for danny garcia and he will gain so much IF he wins

[bigstinkybug]

Garcia is the naturally bigger fighter. And the more rounded fighter. He doesn't hit as hard as Matthyse. But he does possess good power. And I think he has the better chin.

Those are some of the factors that make garcia the winner!

Come on danny.

*what! im agreeing with u! damn... we r in for a crazy night of fights then... I also like Garcia. Matthese's power might be the best below 150 pounds, other than a couple of guys from the filipines... BUT, Garcia is not powder puff... Garcia is the real deal. I can see Matthese hurt very early in this one...
