Danny Garcia vs Lucas Mattysse

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

A draw?

Really?

Personally, I thought Garcia boxed his arse off....

[Memphis]

I didnt watch this one properly, was drifting in and out of sleep. I blame the alcohol and Ishe Smith.

Anyway, I liked Garcia, more controlled, more purpose about what he was doing. Matthysse looked a bit clueless to be honest, groping forward without much thought. I dont know if Garcia cracked him good early or if he gave him a bit too much respect, I find the latter hard to believe to be honest.

The knockdown was tough on Matthysse I thought. Perfectly legit but a large part of it was him having nowhere else to go but down.

Matthysse's route to winning the fight was to fight from the start like he did in the later rounds when he had two good eyes. He didnt, he lost.

Fair play to Garcia. He showed a pair. He genuinely looked horrified at the prospect of facing Matthysse when he splatted Petereson.
