    If Khan ever dares step to Matthysse he gets put in a bodybag.
    Khan planned to go 147 since last year fool, and wants to face the P4P number 1. Ducking Matthyse? LOL.

    They said Maidana would KO Khan, and now they see him VS Soto who is not even a legit LWW.

    Khan won't get hit as much as Soto.

      Matthyse has power but he missed a lot, and Soto was in range for most of them.

      Khan since Peterson has worked on strength and is way too fast and gets out of range a lot.

      Khan slows own in the 6th and mabe Matthyse has a chance then, but he certainly can get outboxed.

      Oh and they said Maidana needed one shot, Khan didn't even drop.
      In fact, Lucas was actually wilder this fight than he has been in the 2 previous stateside. He does box pretty well.

        I've also said this, Matthysse is a great fighter. he's not just hard punching slugger. He carries a lot of skills and puts punches toghter very well.

        His body punching is masterful. Devon was dubbing over everytime he got touched and ran around the ring like a ***** and was lucky the fight was 10 rounds otherwise he would have been KTFO in his hometown.

        keep racking the wins up Lucas, your time to shine will come soon.

          Matthysse struggled with Judah, a faster Zab couldn't even lay a hand on Khan. LM too slow and inaccurate.

            Matthysse has a legit chance of knocking out Amir Khan IMO.

            That's a fight I really want to see.

              I and most of the people who watched it felt Matthysee won that fight.

                Yeah he wanted the KO because he was scared of a robbery.

                However you can't rely on power with Khan, his chin is much better at 140 than 135. He hasn't even been dropped at 140 when 135 a guy with 5 KO's dropped him LOL.

                He certinaly can KO Khan, but Soto is not an indicator. Khan has a completely different style, is much faster and rangier, and has a damn good jab that would help him outbox Matthyse who was very easy to hit. Soto's jab was effective first two rounds.

                  Maidana and Peterson are slow as fuck and they put leather on Khan.

                    It was close, but I gave it to him. He beat Alexander better IMO. Soto's jab was great first 2 rounds, think what Khan can do to him.

                      Yeah, it was close but I felt Matthysse got it.

                      The Alexander fight I felt he was robbed. I thought he got that one clearly.

                      And don't get me wrong, I'd still pick Khan to win but I think Matthysse has a legit shot at the upset. He will catch Khan at some point.
