well, I have seen this kind of fight before. where a puncher is overhyped and he comes in and either doesnt have or doesnt use the boxing skills. meanwhile, the other fighter puts together a game plan and simply uses boxing 101. the puncher comes out and tries to get the boxer out of there and in the process shows some flaws and possibly even punching himself out. he simply gets broken down round by round and eventually stopped. another scenario is...LM is so in love with his power and doesnt respect Danny's power enough that he walks into something he cant recover from.

they are both young fighters. so the danger is there for LM just like it is for Danny. Danny can crack. where Danny can have success is....pin that right to his face and be ready to counter. he can get Lucas out of there....he just has to be smart about it. I think he will be.

all in all...Danny is the most studious of the two. Styles make fights and not saying just because such and such beat so and so that equals a win...but.... If Zab was mid-terms then Danny passed his and Lucas failed.

I like this analogy. Lucas has been talking reckless since the fight started. If Danny gets one of those closed eyed left hooks to land, that's lights out. I don't have a horse in this, I just want the best fighter to win so that they can their soul snatched by Floyd. However, if Danny were to win, Floyd could potentially take two zeros in a row, with would be great on his resume this late in his career.

I don't see anything special but I puts his whole body into that punch. I know Lucas has a good chin too. I don't know, my mind has Lucas but I just want to see it all play out.

He has heavy hands for sure then those swings will fukk a man up..LM's pressure and punching from every angle will play a part in breaking down danny..Come fight night i will be quoting and dapping motherfukkas; left, right and centre.

Honestly I think it's Garcia's timing on his punches and counters that really bring his power out on nikkas chins. Dude is heavy handed no doubt, but I don't think he's some big KO puncher like that. He throws hard compact punches that are timed to the point where dudes don't expect them. His technique is solid as well so that helps the impact too. LM on the other hand moves guys backwards even when he doesn't land clean. We all saw Oritiz who's a good puncher drop and buzz Peterson twice whereas LM just straight up ran through dude.

Damn I can't wait for this fight to happen.

I recall an interview from Bro Naseem Richardson where he spoke about danny in high regards; danny been knocking down middleweights in sparring sessions and has natural brute power etc. The interview was right after the danny win against khan.

The fight isn’t a done deal yet but a good-looking heavyweight bout between former title challenger Cristobal Arreola and Seth Mitchell is nearly finalized.

Assuming the deal is done -- and both fighters are supposedly already in training for the bout -- it will take place Sept. 6 at the Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, Calif. Showtime is expected to broadcast the fight.

“Both guys are willing to fight each other and we’re trying to get everything done,” Eric Gomez, matchmaker for Mitchell promoter Golden Boy, told ESPN.com. “It’s an exciting fight because these guys will go at it.”

They are both excellent punchers and generally mix it up in their fights. It’s the kind of fight that will boost the winner big-time and really damage the future prospects for the loser.

Arreola (35-3, 30 KOs), 32, of Riverside, Calif., fought for a world title in 2009, getting stopped in the 10th round by Vitali Klitschko.

Arreola is also coming off a unanimous decision loss to Bermane Stiverne in April. That was a world title eliminator for the right to fight Klitschko. But Stiverne dropped Arreola and badly broke his nose in the third round. Somehow, Arreola was able to make it to the final bell. However, he was not really in the fight after that round. He needed surgery on his nose after the fight.

Mitchell (26-1-1, 19 KOs), 31, of Brandywine, Md., was a late starter to boxing after turning to the sport when a knee injury wrecked his pro football chances after playing linebacker for Michigan State. He was viewed by many as a future title challenger until he ran into Johnathon Banks, a big underdog who dropped him three times and knocked him out in the second round in November. Mitchell avenged the loss on June 22, winning a unanimous decision in a very cautious performance.

“We’re working to get this fight done,” said Dan Goossen, Arreola’s promoter. “It’s a great fight for both fighters and I think it’s a great fight fans’ fight. They’ll both come at each other. Fans really love the heavyweights, especially ones that like to get in there and bang with one another.”

Goossen said Arreola’s nose is just fine now.

“He’s breathing well. He’s fine,” he said. “He had a little surgery on it and a few weeks later he was good to go.”
Got Damn I love the heavyweight division right now.......:wow:

Golden Boy will feature two-division titlewinner Rafael Marquez, heavyweight contender Seth Mitchell and welterweight stalwart Josesito Lopez among those in a Showtime-televised tripleheader on Sept. 6 at the Fantasy Sports Casino in Indio, Calif., according to Sharif Salim, Mitchell's manager.
"Seth Mitchell, ranked No. 2 in the world by the WBC, will be facing Chris Arreola, ranked No. 3 in the world, in the main event at Fantasy Springs in Indio, Calif., on Sept. 6," said Salim.
"Rafael Marquez and Josesito Lopez are in fights that are the co-main event. They're also on the card. But the main event is Seth Mitchell against Chris Arreola...in a 12-rounder."
Coming off last month's unanimous decision over Johnathon Banks that avenged a second-round stoppage loss in November, Mitchell (26-1-1, 19 knockouts) will face Arreola (35-3, 30 KOs), who had surgery in May to repair a broken nose suffered during April's unanimous-decision loss to Bermane Stiverne.
"I think that it promises to be one of the banner fights of the year. Two heavyweights who are highly ranked and highly talented and who bring a lot of action," said Salim.
"So it's going to be a pretty good fight. There are several belts on the line, and the possibility of getting closer to a championship fight. We're looking forward to it with unlimited enthusiasm."
A 38-year-old who signed with Golden Boy earlier this month, Marquez (41-8, 37 KOS) will end what will be an 11-month ring absence against Efrain Esquivias (16-2-1, 9 KOs) in a featherweight bout, according to Boxrec.com.
Lopez (30-5, 18 KOs) will attempt to rebound from last month's sixth-round knockout at the hands of Marcos Maidana opposite Aaron Martinez (19-2-1, 4 KOs), according to Boxrec.com.

why is marquez still fighting? :smh: and showtime is serious about josesito lopez..two main events in a row..they are pushing the kid...against a soft touch...good plan :salute:..let him get his win column back up

Solid card, interesting they are doing it on a Friday night. CFB has a big night on Saturday with OKLA/WVU and ND/UM so they might get better numbers Friday

Koki Eto just went into Thailand and won the WBA interim Flyweight title against former Adrian Hernandez conqueror Kompayak Porpamook...

All I was able to see was the 12th round, and it was a slug fest, Eto got a knockdown which from what I'm hearing won him the fight 114-113 114-113 and 116-111

Kameda coming soon......if I find a stream I'll post it here
Good shyt breh
