By Robbie Bannatyne: They say the facts don’t lie. But they can be deceiving, and at times, downright surprising. As was the case in the Light-Welterweight title bout between Danny ‘Swift’ Garcia and Lucas ‘Machine’ Matthysse, the penultimate fight on the Mayweather vs Alvarez undercard.
Despite being the challenger, Matthysse was a massive favorite to win the fight, but Garcia put on vintage display- mixing pure boxing with brawling- to rip up the script and retain his WBA and WBC titles making sure his unbeaten record remains intact.
As surprising as the outcome was, the compu-box fight statistics are even more astonishing and seem to separate some myths from the reality of what both men bring to the table.
By Ken Woods: The hip hop group Public Enemy made the phrase “don’t believe the hype” popular during the late 80s. This phrase can apply to many aspects of life and sports, especially the boxing ring.

By R.Amin: Last night was a disappointing night in boxing. I waited for the Danny Garcia vs. Lucas Matthyese fight for months. I thought it was going to be a great night of boxing making history but boy was I wrong. One one side, there was Danny Garcia, a somewhat decent slugger, known mostly from his loud-mouthed dad for his useless rants. I always thought Danny was a b-rated fighter. Danny, however, did surprise me when he KO’ed Amir Khan. On the other side, there was this emerging star name Lucas Matthysse, a very humble fighter with enormous power.

By Allan Fox: ESPN’s Dan Rafael is going with the smart picks for tonight’s mega fight card on Showtime pay-per-view by selecting Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26 KO’s) to top Mexico’s No.1 boxing star Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 KO’s), and Argentinian Lucas Matthysse (34-2, 32 KO’s) over WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia (26-0, 16 KO’s) by knockout at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. 
By Dan Ambrose: Challenger Lucas Matthysse (34-2, 32 KO’s) looked in superb shape at today’s weigh-in for his title shot against WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia (26-0, 16 KO’s) at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Matthysse came in at 140 pounds and look close to his fighting weight. 
By Allan Fox: WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia (26-0, 16 KO’s) has very little chance of keeping his two titles on Saturday night against the tough Argentinian fighter Lucas Matthysse (34-2, 32 KO’s) at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Most boxing writers and fans are picking Matthysse to win the fight. 
By Franco Ranzoni: WBC interim light welterweight champion Lucas Matthysse has 32 KO wins out of 34 victories. The highest KO percentage in boxing today among active fighters. His power has been described as monstrous and scary. “It’s literally like a bomb explodes every time he lands a punch,” said Paulie Malignaggi of Matthysse after the Lamont Peterson fight last May.
