Funny thing is, theres some people around here who believe this bullcrap. Sounds like a buncha excuses to me.
But since we're into making excuses does this look like a healthy Matthysse to you?

Didn't even have 1 week to train in the US before the fight. And still manhandled his ass.

Coming over so late and being so strong is unheard of... Also missing all of the pre-fight promotion is absolutely unheard of. He did it with the Peterson fight and now this one.. Something is very weird about Matthyse.
I think just the opposite, I think Lamont extra confident after having massacred Holt the way he did
And Danny is not as good a boxer as Lamont Peterson. Against Holt, split decision vs stoppage. Danny is actually considered a power puncher, which Peterson is not
But u can certainly see that Danny is confident (maybe)
Same thing can be said that Maidana got schooled by Morales and couldn't knock him out and hurt him but Garcia did while he was on steroids. Khan knocked out Judah and Judah beat Matthyse but Garcia beat him and hurt him much more. Matthyse can be hurt, you will see how badly this 9/14.
Leonard is obviously a better fighter which is why he won the second fight easily.. Many try to over-rate Duran but Duran is a smart boxer brawler but do not know how to cut off the ring when someone is light on their feet.
HBO is going to lose money on that RIOS-Pacquiao fight.. and HBO boxing budget is going to decrease.
Showtime is where it's at, Andre Ward needs to fight whoever they want then come back to Showtime asap... HBO has fallen.
OK so if it did break the record how will the landscape of boxing change? I think there will be more third party interest in the sport like the NFL and NBA.
judah only started fighting vs garcia because he realised garcia was tired as sht and wasn't pressing anymore
zab didn't get that chance vs matthysse because matthysse has stamina
and seriously the only reason judah didn't get stopped vs matthysse is because lucas started late, his corner kept telling him "patience, patience, just keep touching his body" etc, and it was a stupid gameplan, had matthysse just walked in there to kill judah he would've had him out by the 8th
^THIS!
Another big difference in their fights is Zab's conditioning. Zab was dead tired at the 10th round in the Matthyse fight while in the Garcia fight he was still fresh and picking up a second wind.
What people need to get out of the two fights is how different Zab Judah's endurance was over the twelve rounds. He was much better prepared to go the distance in the Garcia fight.
What a lot of Matthyse fans do fail to realize is that even when Garcia was at a disadvantage in the 10th he was still finding his shots in the subsequent rounds. Judah was also in a prove everyone wrong state of mind so he was invigorated to fight even when he got stunned and countered through out the fight.
This fight proves to me Matthyse can be damaged.. Garcia have better timing than Harris. Harris really made Matthyse skin look like puddy that a small child shaped up in to a ball.. His other eye was closing too, the ref saved him. Who's reffing the Garcia-Matthyse fight?
1 . Has AL haymon ever boxed or competed in the sport?
2. Is berto still a gate keeper?
3.does diego chaves that faught thurman beat broner
That faught paulie??
4. Who wins, paulie vs berto right now
5. Whos 0 is more impressive
Calzaghe , marciano, floyd jr or sven oktte?
5.
1. No he started out as a promoter for Black RnB artists and become a powerful machine in that industry, he came in to boxing through Floyd Mayweather rise in prominence.
2.Depends on what you define as gatekeeper, in my opinion even before Soto-Karass he was not a gate-keeper.
3.Yes in my opinion he will hurt Broner but we don't really know, maybe Broner can take powerful hits.
4. Idk.. Paulie I think because his confidence will prevail over Berto lack of confidence.
5. Definitely not Calzaghes
Pacquiao is right though he needs to be going through fighters like a hurricane.. just so he can be talked about in some positive way again. He's been forgotten and disrespected since December of 2012.. where everyone thought the world was going to end.
Mike Alvarado is more versatile and he hits much harder than Bradely.. Prodvonikov is a bigger Rios though so Mike will get tested but it will prepare him for that rubber match which he should win. Did anyone ever watch that Alvarado-Prescott fight? That fight shows me that Alvarado is a lot better than what people think, and they stopped that first Alvarado-Rios fight too early.
Garcia trashed Matthyse in this interview lol. Everything I said about Matthyse he said and also everything I said about how Garcia will win by being smart, Garcia confirmed that it's not about who hit harder, it's about who's smarter.
Garcia have been treated much like Mayweather, no matter who he beats he will never get respect and a new foe will pop up and everyone will say fight him until he beats them then they weren't ****.
This is pretty weird for a prizefighter to deny more exposure to his profile.. Garcia should be outraged as the more popular you are the more money you will be able to make which is both guys full time jobs. I wonder why none of the Matthyse fans actually see this as problem and calling him a noble hardworker that only cares about entertainment inside the ring. If he only cared about that then why did he start fighting over here in America? He could had just stayed in Argentina if all he care about is being in the ring..
