Matthysse going to a psycologist and thinking of moving up to 147
Hi. Lucas made some statements to the Argentinean press yesterday. I translated them and I'll copy them here.
I don't want him to move up... but it's his decision. Maybe he feels he can do better at 147. Have even more power, who knows.
"I'll probably start seeing a psychologist and move up in weight."
"I wasn't KO but I thought of my health first, because I'm young and I want to keep fighting. I heard that something cracked in my eye and I couldn't see, but now I'm fine."
"I know I could have done a lot better, I trained a lot for this fight. But it wasn't my day, I couldn't do anything well. My mind was a mess, my legs and arms were tied. I do this for my future, for my daughter and my family. I don't know what happened to me. Now I gotta think and start training again".
"This is the first time it happens to me, I didn't feel comfortable at all... it pisses me off since I've waited so long for an opportunity like this, and I had trained a lot and I always leave everything in the ring, and because there was so much expectation in Argentina and the rest of the world."
"I don't think that the fight was too much for me, I was calm, I've experience, I have 40 fights, I fought in big stadiums. I left the psycologist a long time ago, but probably I'll start visiting one again to see what happened to me... because to be honest I tell myself "damn, it already happened" and it pisses me off."
"I lost against the N°1 in the weight class, it's not that I lost against a bum. He was a good rival and for sure he has a merit for doing a better fight than I did. I contratulate him because he won. I feel that I'm better than him, but you gotta be there in the ring and prove it."
"I made a lot of fights in the US, the stadium was full of people wanting to see me. You have to see where I got, and no one can take that away from me. Now I will have to bear a los of things that people will say. Oscar told me "even the greatest fall. It's nothing, you've got to keep going" and I'll keep working to gain my chances again."
"I'm going to continue boxing, this is the sport I love. I'm not finished, I'm a fighter of life. This is my job and I want to continue. My team is up to the expectations, we made a good work. I know how they work in the US and other countries. They might have some better sparrings and stuff but it's not so different. Roach trains Pacquiao and against Mayweather he couldn't do anything and also got KO'ed in the fight with Marquez."
"These are just fights, my team is good and we proved it against Provodnikov who was a beast. When I beat him we were the best, and now we are the worst. For sure there are things to adjust and keep learning. These are experiences that this sport give to you."
"I fight because I like it. I don't do it for the money. I live well. The day that I don't want to train anymore, that day I will retire."
"I will probably move up in weight and I will have to fight for a chance like I always did. Make one or two fights and try to get a chance to fight for a world title."
