Rios vs Alvarado winner lmao!
Rios went life & death with a damaged John Murray coming off a brutal beatdown ffs what do you think Lucas would do to the guy? He couldn't lay a glove on Abril who stood infront of him and countered him too death.
Alvarado isn't much better either.
Would be great whilst it lasted but I don't see either guy lasting past 5. In fact with Rios defense he gets KTFO within 3-4 max.
some would say rios was drained trying to make weight. i think that's an acceptable excuse, i mean look at him at the weigh in s and then on fight night. yeah the abril fight was pure exposure of his lack of skills. but matthysse isn't hard to hit imo, but he does hit hard. i expect rios to beat alvarado, but no way he beats matthysse imo. that's the only guy at 140 i'd favor over rios when it comes to a straight slugfest/brawl.
garcia/matthysse is the fight that should be made next, no questions asked. the rios/alvarado winner should fight joan guzman. that would be a nice fight, guzman deserves a shot at a top name at 140.

Yeah but he doesn't repeatedly get hit with big shots, which is what happened to Soto and Ajose. Alexander at times was able to smother him, only he didn't have the skill to mount an attack in close because he doesn't have an inside game. Nothing special about Peterson, nor Matthysse for that matter, but Lamont is a good fighter and I believe he has the tools to win this.
Yes he does, Khan connected with him real good. Bradley did too
And yes Devon HELD him to prevent Lucas from beating his ass. The moment lamont tries his "inside game" and "defense" against him, he will be sparked out
I have nothing but respect for Matthysse, just last year he was on Elie Sechback video trying to get someone to Sponsor him now look at the dude, he is indeed the best at 140 and good luck to anybody that has to deal with him especially Danny Garcia...but hey Danny Garcia has Power as well so if he beats Morales I truly look forward to that fight but right now it is hard to pick against Matthysse...the man just walks you down and punishes the sh1t out of you to the body
Ajose to me still likely outbox 99% of the other fighters at 140 but Matthysse was just too Powerful
Theres nothing special about Peterson's infighting or defense at all, he gets hit good

Yeah because those fighters mentioned have Lamont's infighting abilities or defense. I see Lamont being far more comfortable in the pocket than those guys were.
lulz Feather fisted Bradley hurt and dropped Peterson. If Peterson wants to stand in the pocket and try working the body Lucas will show him what body punching is all about. Even with PEDS Peterson won't make it 8 rounds. Standing in the pocket with Matthysse = murder.
man, i hope gbp/al haymon don't becomes bitches and avoid putting garcia in there with matthysse after he takes care of morales. it's the fight to make. like dominicano mentioned, peterson would be the toughest opponent, i think maybe a bit tougher than garcia, but i still see matthysse beating him. if khan was giving it to peterson, i have no doubt matthysse lands some hard shots on lamont. only one way to find out though, right? first, i would like to see peterson come back against someone else though, perhaps the rios/alvarado winner or guzman if he fights allakhverdiev and wins. great matchups at 140.

Lulz Lucas has walked through everything Judah, Alexander, Soto, Ajose could throw at him without even blinking but Peterson with his 50% KO ratio is going to get Matthysse's respect. No.
I think Ajose beats Garcia. Lucas kills him.

Peterson has more than enough power, he places his shots well and can fight at close range better than Matthysse.

Lucas absolutely destroys peterson. Peterson's style would cater to lucas like no other. Stay in the pocket with lucas and your toast. Plus he doesnt have the pop to gain lucas respect.

This is what I've been saying for the longest.
If he can take Pac's punches early in the fight and neutralize his speed, I'll say it again, Mathysse WILL beat pac.
Pacquiao would beat the living **** out of Matthysse.
Matthysse is the best fighter at 140 IMO.
Beat both Judah and certainly Alexander in my eyes.
So effective at cutting off the ring and skillfully getting inside. Helps he hits like a truck also.
A fight between him and Garcia has to happen.
