Lamont stands no chance against Lucas

Terrible OP... Why do people compare fighters attribute against attribute (i.e. Peterson isn't as tough as Matthysse or Lucas has more power than Lamont)? That doesn't matter... What matters is how (fighter X) is able to handle that advantage from (fighter Y). Just recent examples should tell you that... Froch is more powerful and is tougher than Ward, but that didn't stop Ward from winning. Pacquiao-Marquez IV? Wlad-Brewster I? Mayweather-Corrales? Lamont is going to give Lucas all that he can handle. Win or lose, Lamont is going to use his speed, defense, toughness, strength, counter punching, body punching, jab, combinations, and his good boxing ability to make it a rough night for Matthysse. This is a 50/50 fight; it'll be competitive throughout.

A lot of ppl think that Lucas is going to blow out Lamont. It is a different story when top fighters meet in the ring. Even though that I favor Lucas but wouldn't be surprised that Lamont would do well for periods of the fight

I don't understand how lamont gets a pass for cheating. That said Lucas wins by ko.

Peterson is going to win a hard fought decision. He's a warrior, he will not lay down for anyone. Matthysse has power, but he is not on the level of a prime Tszyu or Tyson. If he was, he would have knocked out an old, past prime Zab Judah instead of going the distance with him and losing a decision. I'm not convinced with his TKO's over Soto and Olesogun , let alone Dallas. I'm more impressed with Peterson's work on Holt, Khan and his fight with Ortiz. Matthysse also starts slow and moves really slowly, he has no head movement. All people are thinking about is his power, while Peterson does not have much of. That is the worst way to predict a fight between top level fighters. If we're talking about Matthysse vs a C class fighter I would understand people mentioning his power. But you need more than power at the top level, as proven by the Super 6, and Matthysse vs Judah/Alexander.

lucas by stoppage!!! petersen got ripped up on the inside by bradly and dropped by bradley he also got dropped heavily by victor and if victor had any finishing ablity he would of stopped him!!! i am pretty sure lucas is going to destroy lamont and make it pretty one sided Actually, he was beating Bradley on the inside, hence the reason Bradley started to box and won the fight boxing in the second half. Lamont will win this fight I think. He's more versatile and we know he can a shot.

I think Peterson's lack of power could hinder his chances. He's definitely capable of winning though. I think he'll outbox Peterson in spots and hang with him on the inside so I could certainly see him winning a decision. I still think Matthysee will win though but I expect a close fight.

I favor Lucas but its a bit outrageous to say Lamont stands no chance. Semi off topic, did we hear anything more about the Holt/Peterson drug test results?

I don't get why people keep counting out Peterson??It's just so crazy..

I disagree. I'm picking Lucas to win, but I wouldn't be terribly surprised if Lamont pulled off the upset. Fighting Lucas allows him to box when he wants and bang. Lamont is tough, skilled, and determined, but I just think Lucas is a different kind of animal in there.

lamont edges mathysse imo... i think it's fair to say he can handle mathysse's power given he took ortiz 's pretty fairly despite being dropped twice lamont is the better boxer and just as good on the inside.. petersen by decision...

Spent a lot of time thinking about it Watching their fights... and really believe Lucas is just gonna beat him down. Lamont is tough but toughness don't cut it. Will be exciting while it lasts. but it will turn into a "Oh **** Lamont can't keep taking these shots & fighting like this!" type of fight.

I'd give Lamont a chance. I doubt he wins and really don't wanna see these guys go at it, but I give Peterson a chance. Why not, you don't think it'll be a good fight or you don't want to see one of them get hurt or something?

Lamont is very smart and crafty, I really doubt he's gonna go in there with the intent to brawl Lucas. I actually think this is a 50/50 fight, if Ortiz couldn't knockout Lamont then I don't think Lucas will be able too. He doesn't have to intent to, he will be drawn into it. He aint light on his feet like Alexander and Judah so he wont be running for long. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

This has to be a joke..I think this is an even fight,Matt's is such a good fighter..But he get's overrated like a mutherfuucker around here.. People are gonna be shocked by that fight just like the Judah-Garcia fight.

I said Lucas would KO him And now thinking about it Lucas would also outbox him as well.. Lamont has no chance... He is really basic. What advantages does he have? - Maybe a slightly longer jab.. That's about it. Not as tough Doesn't hit as hard Doesn't box as well He is screwed. Will enjoy watching Lucas beat this drug cheat up. Funny how Lamont calls him Basic.. What a shock he will get. What, you serious? I think Lucas will have a very hard time against Lamont. Anything is possible of course but Peterson can fight on the inside, outside, sets things up with the jab and has a great body attack. I'd say he is far from one-dimensional.

You a lying ass ni99a and you know it. You're acting like Matthysse wasn't tons of posters favorite hipster fighter. The guy no one but die hards knew about. OK, I'm done talking with you. Whatever fits your agenda I guess. Get it off your chest dude, whatever you will feel better. Maybe Matthysse is that now but he wasn't then~ As for my agenda, it is my agenda and I will push it how I see fit you can either agree or disagree I don't care.

Agree to disagree, I need to eat. Was good debating with you. No hard feelings. Agreed, no hard feelings.

OK, then Prescott KO'd Khan before Garcia did. We gonna start marginalizing Garcia's win now? How am I marginalizing that win? I am calling a spade a spade, he won but he didn't dominate. Prescott is a scrub who is not worth my time to discuss.
