Who Wins: Brandon Rios vs. Lucas Matthysse at 140 Lbs.

[UTEP]

Lucas Mathysse has knocked out every single right handed fighter they put in front of him, Rios and Garcia would be 2 more victims.

Big fan of both rios and lucas but I think lucas' brutal body shots will pay extreme dividends in this fight and he will end up stopping rios late.

They'll put Rios in with Pac before they even think about Matthysse.

nice factoid, even more reason for this fight to happen. has the looks of fight of the year written all over it

i for one would watch this, could be better if pacquiao faces matthysse at 147 (maybe even 145) once he takes care of rios

[sapaw]

its a toss up! both have great chins and good puncher... but a little edge to Rios after I've seen him taking some bomb shots from Alvarado... But I'm almost sure, it will be a KO either of the two.

[Canelo Phresh]

Lucas knocks rios out.

I haven't seen Matthysse face the kind of adversity Rios has, so I'm not really sure how much he can take, at this point I feel like I have to go with Rios by default. GBP needs to make Matthysse vs Garcia and stop wasting time.

that's the thing, rios has gone through more wear and tear with his style of fighting, could play against him if he consistently takes those full swing punches from matthysse, even a rock will break if you hit often enough

[John Barron]

matthysse teaches rios a thing or two about breaking somebody down with body shots and beating they ass without being a punching bag. rios doesn't have a marcos maidana type power to make this an even fight. even if lucas stands and trades with rios like an idiot he'd blast him.
