For me, Garcia is too easy to hit.
Three things that impress me about Garcia are:
1) His power is clearly very good
2) He has good timing and can unleash huge counters
3) (something that is often overlooked) he has trained reflex punches into his head in that he knows to throw and where the person will be even if he isn't looking at the target and he does so automatically. (see Khan or the Judah knockdown)
However, his defence is pretty weak and he isn't much of a mover. Matthysse would go in there moving his head and his hands and walking through some shots so he could let his punches off. Garcia doesn't have the defence to stop all Matthysse's attacks. I see it being even until Garcia gets backed up to the ropes and an exchange breaks out, then Matthysse has the upper hand.
Good breakdown though leon.
