Bob Arum wants Matthysse-Rios, who wins and why?

lucas is the mandatory in 2 sanctioning bodies. zero chance this fight happens if oscar gives a **** about lucas

I think Provodnikov-Rios is the dream fight. We don't need any judges, jus paramedics.

So... The old bastard wants his fighter dead now? Poor Rios he's already slurring, what will happen after a Matthysse fight? It will be an exciting fight though it won't be the best Bam Bam's brain.

Don't think it's a good match. I'd rather see Matthysse vs. Bradley.

We win. I'd love to see these 2 go at it for 12 hard fought rounds. Rios has a great chin and so does matthysee. Make it happen BOB.

I think Rios has a shot of beating Matthysse at 147, he has the size there but Matthysse isn't going up in weight for Brandon Rios and nor should he. Rios can't make 140 and imo he loses to Matthysse at that weight anyway. I'd like to see Matthysse-Crawford, but I doubt Arum agrees to it. agree with all this. but i do feel lucas could stop rios, i don't wanna sound like those who always predict maidana to be stopped by a body shot, but lucas is a terrible body puncher and rios looks really soft. his chin is iron, but don't forget that alvarado made him wobble

I see a lot of people commenting about Lucas' size but he usually rehydrates around 157 so besides his frame, He's quite big really.

Matts wins... Rios gets his orgasm :lol1: This.

Rios would beat him at 147, don't even talk about 140 cause Rios ain't getting there. Rios would stalk him like prey

Rios entered the "opponent" phase of his career a while ago! Damn shame, if he could lose against light punchers and not get his brains kicked in it would be worth another year or two. If he goes in with guys who come to do serious harm he will get hurt badly. It may not show the night of the fights but it will show down the road. Seems like a decent fellow with a family that supports him. Ray

Lucas wins easily IMO.

That would be an awesome card. Both fights make sense as well. Danny-Matthysse I was a good, close fight and Rios-Provodnikov is a FOTY contender between two face-first brawlers who never take a step back. Thanks Man. I should be a promoter huh. Lets put Mares and Santa Cruz on there too.

Another great fight for Matthysse to shine in.

I agree with most of you guys, I'd much rather him fight Crawford or Pacquiao. If not them, I hope he gets to fight Postol for the vacant wbc strap so he can have a legitimate world title.

Brandon Rios is PURE GARBAGE and he loses to anyone legit such as Matthysse.

i have matthysse winning a decision cause his better boxing skills no way he knocks out rios unless rios has a off night but that fight will be soo damn exciting WAR MATTHYSSE!!! :boxing: :boxing:

Bad fight, but I would rather see Garcia-Mathysse 2 and Rios -Provodnikov on a double header. That would be an awesome card. Both fights make sense as well. Danny-Matthysse I was a good, close fight and Rios-Provodnikov is a FOTY contender between two face-first brawlers who never take a step back.

It goes just like Matthysse-Ruslan went.

Lucas breaks his hands on rios' face
