Matthysse-Holt possible for Hopkins-Dawson undercard!

[Eastbay Giant]

Matthysse needs to step up or shut up. This is a fight where either he proves that he's the real deal, or another hype job like his brother.

For Holt, this is a fight that could make him a factor @ 140 again.

It will probably be a welterweight fight at a catch weight if it happens. You saw what happened last time Holt tried to make 140. If its at 140 and he struggles to make weight as much as he did against Mabuza, it'll be over by the 3rd round.

I didnt see Sotos fight this last weekend but he was sharp against Antillon(watched live in a box suite at The Ponda Center with Antillon fans)and in the rematch against the S. American guy that gave him trouble last fall.

What have you seen in his last 4 fights that make you think hes slipping? I didnt think he looked great in the 1st fight against the S. American but besides that, was fine up untill this weekend, which I havent seen. If anything I think fighting 5 times within a year will be helpfull even though he has had only had 1 high profile bout among them. It would've worked wonders for a guy like Bradley or PWill/

he got hit A lot by Antillon in the second part of that fight, plus his firel fight vs fidel was close for no reason...

I"ve thought humberto was sliding a bit since he fought the frenchman under ricky-pac. he hasn't stopped anyone since 130 so you have his lack of power problem at 135 translating into a bigger problem with an iron chinned dude like bradley. he has stayed busy, which he has to do, but I can't get over his fights with plodders like chavez and diaz where I didn;t think he looked all that fast

I thought the Diaz fight on ESPN was at 140? Maybe I'm wrong, but if he's having problems fighting at 140, then he needs to be fighting solid Ww.

Matthysse is really winning me. Dude is willing to go and fight someone in their backyard.

[STREET CLEANER]

Nice match, Lucas by KO

You're right. I wasn't aware that it was so low. Then he must be in better shape now. That's good to hear.

holt is ready to go, I'll be strongly behind holy for this fight and I really hope it goes down...

I think Soto has always fought just a little over the level of his opponents.I wouldnt pick him over Bradley but think he is game against the lightweights and a few of the jwws. I doubt anyone is blowing him out.
