Arum "Who the **** knows about Lucas Matthysse"

The guy is undefeated in my book and no one is his division is calling him out.. that speak louder than the old fart.

Sounds like Arum comes from the Lou Dibella school of ducking. He said the same thing about Pirog and Golovkin so pretty boy could fight guys like Barker and Murray aka lesser known and lower rated MW's.

Mathysse isn't exactly a lots of action fighter tho. He's the 140lb version of Mikey Garcia his luck is he's not of Mexican descent. And that's why it is a legit point that in his two biggest fights, his performances were quite stale even though he was favored to lose. Didn't mean to imply that, even though i like Matthysse and enjoy watching him fight. My comment is more aimed towards the mentality of todays promoters. They seem to favor name recognition or safety over great fights and/or risk.

Most people don't know about any fighters but the absolute top names. What they care about is great fights. Lots of action. That's how you build true interest and true stars.

Who's more popular Lucas Matthysse or Mike Alvarado?

Matthysse failed to win big when it really counted. Broner will stop him and the hype. No he didn't. He won against Alexander, and there is not a real argument otherwise. Some people pretend there's a way to score that fight for Alexander, but there isn't.

Outside of people in the sport, people who populate boxing message boards a few people from his hometown in Argentina, his friend and his family~ Who really does know about Matthysse~ Fuck on here back when Matthysse coming up people were telling me Kaizer Mabuza was a better fighter than Matthysse and that I was out of my head for thinking so highly of Matthysse, now that this same community is big upping him it cracks me up~ Lucas needs to do what it takes to make his name, it is not incumbent on others to give him a break he needs to make his own, Now he was rather unfortunate in the Alexander fight but he could have done more to make that fight more clear and the Judah fight was close so where he is now is a lot own doing.

Matthysse failed to win big when it really counted. Broner will stop him and the hype. Mattysse has never failed to win big. He did fail to lose big twice though. In fact both his losses are highly controversial. Furthermore while I've grown to respect Broner somewhat, he doesn't match well with Mattysse at all. Broner is doing his thing at 135 & below cause he's bigger than everyone else. If he stands in front of Mattysse like he does them lil guys, he'll be the 1 getting stopped.

Yeah Bob, we know all bout it.

Matthysse failed to win big when it really counted. Broner will stop him and the hype. Losing to Broner doesn't mean u aint a bad mother f*cker though! Id actually love to see that one, they need to make Broner vs Garcia, Rios vs Matthysse and then the winners face off

Promoters and fighters need to stop dropping that BS line "who is he, nobody knows him" then go ahead and fight another little known fighter but one who has way less talent or threat factor....

That was his excuse for not making Pacquiao vs Marquez 3 when JMM was with Golden Boy. http://sports.yahoo.com/box/news?slug=ki-pacfoes112710 haha typical bob

For a promoter who claims to be "above" all promoters and a professional educated man, Arum is sure sounding more like a street punk in all his last interviews. Bad mouthing great boxers just because they are not in his stable. I bet if Mathysse signed with TR he would talking about HOW GREAT HE IS. The old snob should STFU.

Silly bob. Technically just promoted your rival. Sometimes it's best to say nothing lol

Matthysse lost to Judah like Rios beat Abril. In the corrupt Bob Arum world. Too bad for him that these ****ty decisions can't be hidden with the internet around. Everyone knows.

Hell do you even know where most of them reside? Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android They manage to come out for the soccer team. The US vs Argentina in Red Bull stadium had more powder blue and white jerseys in the stands than red white in blue. They have a nice following in LA as well. Now if you tell me argentines dont like boxing then ill buy that. Otherwise you better learn english or he'll never make the kind of money he deserves. Yea...
