By Peter Wells (twitter @boxingbrains): Before I begin, for those of you who have not seen my previous article then I should firstly explain what is going on here. A few days ago I wrote on my blog and on boxingnews24.com, asking readers which fights are on their ‘Boxing Wishlist’. To my great surprise I received over 170 comments, and a whole load of great match-ups.

What I shall be doing for however long it takes is writing previews for these potential boxing matches. So do not mistake these articles for previews of actual fights, although boxing fans will be hoping that they do come to fruition.

The first preview is by far the most popular and in demand contest, Argentine banger Lucas Matthysse vs Philly boxer/puncher Danny Garcia.

Prediction: In most fans eyes Lucas Matthysse will be the big favourite, with the upper hand in power. If Matthysse keeps the fight at range and stays patient the big shot opportunities will come. But if Matthysse decides to stalk Garcia then it may become a case picking the Argentinean off being teeing off with big left hooks to both body and head.

Although I see Garcia having moments, the fact is no matter what tactics are implied I can see only one victor. The pick would be for Matthysse to force a stoppage in the final quarter of the contest. The culmination of straight right hands will eventually be too much for a brave but outgunned Danny Garcia.
