LAS VEGAS, NV - Throughout fight week WBC interim junior welterweight champion Lucas Matthysse insisted his focus was on beating Mike Dallas and he did so in emphatic fashion, finishing Dallas out with a highlight reel one punch knockout in the first round.

The name he kept mentioned was the full WBC champion Danny Garcia who faces Zab Judah on February 9th, although Garcia is rumored to have suffered a training injury and reportedly plans to withdraw from the contest.

The WBC recently ordered their junior welterweight champion, Danny Garcia (25-0, 16KOs), to face the interim-champion Lucas Matthysse (32-2, 30KOs) before the end of the year. Matthysse appeared on this week's edition of The Boxing Lab, BoxingScene's official audio show and said that is the fight that he has been targeting. "That is the fight I want. It is a fight I have been asking for, for a long time. Hopefully the promoters can get together and make it happen," Matthysse said.

Matthysse Wants Danny Garcia, Settles For Everyone Else

By Jake Donovan - Lucas Matthysse has already proven he can handle any style in the ring. Now all that’s left to prove is how long he can hold his breath. The twice-beaten Argentine slugger has punched his way into title contention, doing so by taking on the type of opponents nobody else is in a hurry to face. The fight he most craves these days is against unified 140 lb. titlist Danny ‘Swift’ Garcia. He even has an interim belt that says he’s due a shot at the unbeaten Philly product. Rather than play the waiting game, Matthysse instead agrees to face anyone willing to join him in the ring. For this weekend, that potentially unlucky contestant will be Mike Dallas Jr., as they square off at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. Showtime is along for the ride (Saturday, 10PM ET/PT), marking Matthysse’s third straight appearance on the network. If all goes well, he will eventually be back on their airwaves and against the opponent of choice.

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer is not backing away from a junior welterweight rematch between Amir Khan (27-3, 19KOs) and WBA/WBC champion Danny Garcia. Last July Garcia (25-0, 16KOs) knocked out Khan in the fourth round of a Las Vegas unification. Garcia will defend his title on February 9th against Zab Judah. Khan will return on April 20th, possibly in the UK. Schaefer has already spoken to Garcia's adviser, Al Haymon, who said his fighter is very interested in a rematch with Khan.

Amir Khan insists he is not worried about Danny Garcia's punch power and hopes to land a rematch this year. Khan was floored heavily by Garcia in a shock knockout defeat in July and the Philadelphia fighter's father, trainer Angel Garcia has irritated the Bolton boxer by questioning his punch resistance. Garcia will defend his WBC and WBA light-welterweight titles against Zab Judah on February 9, but Khan has urged the champion to face him again in his next fight.
