Lucas Matthysse just showed why Khan picked Peterson

In fact, Lucas was actually wilder this fight than he has been in the 2 previous stateside. He does box pretty well.R1 was an indicator that Matthyse would get boxed by Khan.
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.Comment

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.Comment

Matthysse has a legit chance of knocking out Amir Khan IMO.
That's a fight I really want to see.Comment

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.Comment

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.Comment
