    I like Matthysse, but I think he is just a little bit overrated on this site. I think there is a big enough difference in skill and boxing smarts to give Morales an advantage.

    It is a very good fight, and a dangerous one though.

      If Morales performs to the standard he did against Maidana then this will be a War, if he doesn't then Lucas does what many people though Maidana would have done and that's win a one sided fight by KO.

        Lucas is going to destroy Morales with bodyshots...

          straight punches are harder to slip than looping ones


          mathysse will have it easier than chino in terms of trying to mount meaningful offense

          chino's bombs are relatively easy to slip

          mathysse throws that right hand to the body / chest straight

          and he hast a much shorter hook than chino as well, who needs some loop and wind up to get his hands moving fast


          i think mathysse takes the UD pretty easy in this one
          but i think morales will find a way to diffuse his offense to the point where he isn't taking a boatload of punishment
