Broner: "Matthysse don't wanna fight me"

Seems like Lucas is ducking AB... After his latest fight, a victory over Emmanel Taylor, Broner made noise about wanting Lucas "The Machine" Matthysse next. He subsequently called out a number of fighters, including Marcos "El Chino" Maidana, who handed Broner the only loss of his career, and Manny Pacquiao. In another interview Broner said Maidana and Matthysse in particular are scared to fight him. "Lucas knows what's up, man. Those guys don't wanna fight me, man. Maidana don't wanna fight me again. Matthysse don't wanna fight me. They don't wanna fight me. I gave Maidana the worst fight of his life on the worst night of my life. They don't wanna see that again. And I'm healthy," Broner said. http://www.sportsworldnews.com/articles/24251/20141215/adrien-broner-next-fight-lucas-matthysse-in-the-running-as-next-opponent-video.htm

Broner is being clowned because he's accusing other fighters of ducking him when he fought Carlos Molina just two fights ago. He's not calling them out, he's just trash-talking. I don't believe his narrative because Broner is the top priority, not Maidana/Matthysse. It's much easier to believe that Broner is the one who's being saved from another ass whupping. When Haymon is ready to match them up, he'll do so. He fought Molina after coming off his first and brutal loss Then had FOTY candidate vs Taylor I agree it's haymon calling the shots Fighters fight It's bred in them I don't believe any fighter is scared to fighter another fighter

When did Lucas and Maidana become light heavyweights???? Cause that's what Broner looked like in a recent photo. Broner should be calling out light heavyweights, lol.

Maidana complained that his head was severely hurting after broner fight It was a brutal fight And nsb posters show they suck once again Broner calls them out and every post is hating on broner If he said he didn't wanna fight them everybody would be calling him a duck Boxing fans are the worst Broner is being clowned because he's accusing other fighters of ducking him when he fought Carlos Molina just two fights ago.

Here's an interview after the Molina fight. Its in spanish, but its a very good interview. I'd say he wants that Garcia rematch bad, or if not a fight against anyone else that pays well. If he's scared of AB he hides it very well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKLZyZpqysw thanks but i don't speak spanish.

Matthysse would knock him out the way Maidana did. Broner will never be what he's been telling everyone he is.

Matthysse hardly says anything unless he's in the US preparing for a fight. That's the only time US based journalists talk to him. The media hasn't been doing a good job in focusing on this fight. It's not hard to get in touch with Matthysse and his manager. It takes a few keystrokes.

Broner's been campaigning against Lucas for a while, I wonder why Matthysse hasn't even addressed this fight other than vaguely saying he wants it. He could drum up some serious interest in this match if he talks him up in the fashion he was targeting Garcia, I wonder why he's been silent? Matthysse hardly says anything unless he's in the US preparing for a fight. That's the only time US based journalists talk to him.

You can say what you want about the fight itself, but there is no way on god's green earth that Lucas wouldn't take this fight. He might be prioritising Garcia, but he'd take Broner in a heartbeat. It's not like he wants to fight another Roberto Ortiz.

TBH, I don't know who is going to win. But will Haymon make this fight happen? What do you think? Both want it.

Maidana complained that his head was severely hurting after broner fight It was a brutal fight And nsb posters show they suck once again Broner calls them out and every post is hating on broner If he said he didn't wanna fight them everybody would be calling him a duck Boxing fans are the worst He's calling him out while everyone around Broner is saying they don't want Matthysse. Why should anyone care? It's easy to call any fighter out when the fight isn't going to happen. Matthysse wants the fight, it's the other side that is the issue. So Broner will get the hate.

are there any actual quotes from matthysse's side or is broner just talking sh*t per usual? lucas will pick up where chino left off, broner didn't learn a damn thing from the maidana beatdown, still gets hit too much and doesn't throw enough punches. Here's an interview after the Molina fight. Its in spanish, but its a very good interview. I'd say he wants that Garcia rematch bad, or if not a fight against anyone else that pays well.

Matthysse don't want it? Where is this coming from? I don't have a dog in this fight. It could be 50/50.

Given recent patterns, expect Broner-Paulie II! Jessica RETURNS!

Must have skipped the 12th round when maidana was out on his feet for like 15 seconds and broner didn't press and let him recover. lol 15 seconds? more like 5. maidana was clearly bothered from the illegal punch but he was still punching back. broner even buckled from a couple of left hooks in that round.
