He is underestimated and is a very live underdog; if Lucas is the best hitter that Danny has faced then the same can be said for Garcia; there is no way that Mattheysse will be able to walk straight in and whack away - it is something when a unified undefeated world champion is 2/1 against - Garcia is not Mike Dallas.
Spot on

I've bet big on Matthysse & Canelo KO double; 10/1.
Better luck next time

I think Garcia will win as well. People seem to be creaming in their pants over Matthyse after the Peterson fight, but anyone who's seen more of him knows there are plenty of holes in his game. In fact he's quite basic and a bit crude. Garcia is very compact and well schooled and his timing is top notch. His timing makes up for his lack of speed.
Best prediction yet :bow:

I underestimated Garcia, he was composed and quick. Matthyyse in comparison was tight and tentative from the off, Garcia neutralised him early on.

Lucas can bang, I bet Garcia is feeling it today but I felt the scorecards were a little off, I didn't have it as close as a lot did. I found it hard to give rounds clearly to him but he was always in the fight and a real threat.

Someone actually predicted Lucas would end up with one eye shut but everything else was way off haha

It was definitely Baldomir 2 as forecasted.

I was falling asleep in parts.

Ortiz had more of a go. No pace , no pressure and no output.

Anyone else massively disappointed with Alvarez? He never gave it a go.

It's quite simple really, if your slow with no explosiveness, you will never beat Floyd Mayweather. Yet the majority of his opponants are exactly that. You've to admire the mans skills, but he picks his opponants just as well and he picks them at the right time.

Mindset also plays a big role. Waiting on Floyd and being tentative is a sure way to get beat.

For men he's basically run out of legitimate opponants now, so it will be interesting to see what he does next. Garcia may get the call.

Read the rest of it...earlier in the thread.

Do you think Garcia scraped over or got bashed up? He barely had a mark on his face.

I think he had the right idea for the first few rounds playing Mayweathers game but he should have just thrown the kitchen sink in the second half.

I imagined he'd go all out after he started falling behind; he didn't put everything out there; I think Mayweather hits with more authority than people give him credit for; Alvarez wouldn't gamble throwing for fear of getting hit hard.

Don't worry, I predicted Alvarez would finish Mayweather with a body shot. Wishful thinking..

What next for Garcia and Mayweather? I hope they don't match them both.

I want to see Matthysse and Maidana but Lucas didn't seem keen on 147.

Anyone interested in a Garcia/Matthysse rematch in 12 months time?
