Did anyone else notice the shattered phone and he couldn't even get anything to stop the swelling? His corner had to use their hands to open up the eye lol. It's ridiculous how boxers have so many leaches on them. Either Lucas is being cheap or he's not doing too good financially.
He's not materialistic dumbass, Matthysse problably lives more comfortable with $500,000 than Mayweather, Pacquiao or Cotto do with $5M.
And besides that, I though they were able to do a pretty good job opening up that eye and giving vision. I did't think it would be possible since it was completely closed after the round it happened.
I think they ditched the endswell because it looked like the cornerman was trying to apply pressure down the back edge of the orbital bone, and the endswell wont fit there.............
I don't know or care about his financial situation but at the weigh in when Bernstein said he drives a Honda Fit that was the last car I expected him to drive
Some cultures aren't really that materialistic. Lucas is the type of guy to have a couple million in his bank account and look the same. He's not motivated by the same things we are in western culture.
My screens been cracked for 6 months. Some people just don't care about **** like that. The phone works as its supposed to. Some of us don't buy a phone as a trophy.
I just don't think Matthysse cares much about that sort of stuff and the swelling thing it did it's job in the short term but his eye is going to be whack for a while.
They did say he likes to hunt and fish so i bet he has some dope guns and fishing gear.
I noticed/chuckled at the phone. Don't know if its a money issue, or he just doesn't give a f about a phone like a lot of guys and doesn't want to spend money on another one.
The eye thing is being overplayed. They had an enswell, tried it at first. It wasnt that effective, and they resorted to their thumb, which was pretty effective if we were to be honest with ourselves. The swelling was controlled, and you could actually see his eyeball.
Smh at all the excuses being made for matthysse. Fact is, Garcia was just the better man last night. He didn't fight dirty, but fought hard.
As far as money, I'm guessing its a combo of paying training/trainers expenses, and sending money back home to family.
