A fight that hasn't built a lot of hype, hiding under the shadow of Mayweather vs Ortiz, and the Alvarez fight is a potential FOTY candidate: Morales Vs Matthysse.
Coming off a FOTY type fight with Maidana, Morales the future hall of famer is trying to become the first Mexican to win a title in four weight classes, while Matthysse is trying to win his first title that he feels is well deserved after being robbed on two of his last 3 really close fights.
After being robbed in 2 of his last 3 fights, Matthysse figures he needs a knockout to secure the title, while Morales will be there motivated trying to stop him, so he can win that fourth title. Both fighters are motivated, both fighters are training hard, and this is part of the reason the fight will generate fireworks. The Morales vs Maidana fight was a back and forth affair, full of fireworks in a fight you didn't know who was the winner until the end. This fight will be similar (except Matthysse may just score a knockout) because Matthysse has a similar style to Maidana, only that he is a better boxer with not quite as much power. Tune in September 17th to the best fight of the night, and find out who becomes the WBC junior welterweight champion.
