Going for a draw or wafer thin decision for Mayweather (but there being a consensus he clearly won) as the cynic in me says there is even more money to be had in a rematch and it will be 'engineered' as such.

That was my initial way of thinking but ive bottled it and going for Matthysse by stoppage
Im determined to get one prediction right in all my years of watching fights,i,ll be gutted if Garcia boxes to a points win
I think the Matthyse KO win is the safer bet and I don't blame people for taking it but the Garcia outright is better value. Garcia is the toughest opponent Matthyse has faced and he holds a sturdy chin, a decent punch and excellent skills. It's a close one imo.
'Archie' Alvarez wipes the smirk from Floyds face and the O from his record with a well placed rib tickler.
A bashed up Garcia scrapes over the line against a one-eyed Argie.
(Conversely Mayweather pisses it and Mattysse spreads out Garcia like butter)
Mayweather will school canelo and win by wide ud...
And im shocked that people actually beleive that garcia stands a chance. .. garcia is the most over rated fighter in boxing today ... to say he's the most skillful that lucas has fought so far beggers believe ..no alexander or even peterson is. ...garcia is flat footed. . Harldy any defence...His jab is pretty none existent. . All he has is a chin and a right hook... matthysse by ko or tko when lucas walks through a couple of garcia overhand rights... garcia will give up on his stool by the 5th

i have to wind my neck in when talking about Garcia i can get a little emotional .. i cant stand the Garcia package him as a fighter and his Dad... the trouble is if Garcia wins i am going to become a fan of netball :)
Mayweather to tough out a close but clear win with Canelo emerging with credit and an enhanced reputation (except on this forum where he will be judged as a bum and recommended to retire).
Matthysse to batter Garcia into an early (Rd 4) stoppage.
Floyd to win in an unexciting fight. First few rounds will go to Canelo, then Floyd will work out how to land more and take less. He'll be comfortably ahead by the end of the 10th, and relax a little in the last two leaving Alvarez to maybe take them on activity. 7-5 in rounds, Scorecards may be close, but it'll be quite clear who the winner is.
Garcia to beat Matthysse by close decision. Garcia has a decent chin, he can box clever and avoid the big shots from Lucas. I think he might take a knee early, but I doubt he'll be in any real trouble during the fight.
I don't think it'll be a FOTY candidate, though I'd love it to be. I can see Garcia fighting on the back foot.

The Mayweather fight for once is one I'm unsure about, I think Mayweather can take advantage of Canelo's lack of output especially if the 152 has any effect and win a UD, though.
