Comments Thread For: Matthysse vs Lundy in Play For Alexander-Brook Card

[-PBP-]

He is a LW but don't forget he missed weight which means it was time to move up. HOWEVER I do not agree with this fight, it's a bull**** fight.



You guys just stole every word out of my mouth. Saved me the time of typing up a long ass post. All Im gonna say is, GBP seem to be giving Matthysse the Lara treatment in this one. It just doesn't seem like they give a **** or have any interest in making Matthysse-Garcia. They were gonna show case him on the undercard of Garcia-Judah and pulled him out to put him on a card that will probably not draw much. So he won't be getting as much exposure which will keep the demands down as far as Matthysse vs Garcia goes.

If they do Garcia vs. Matthysse they risk losing the more lucrative alternative of Garcia vs. Khan 2.

It doesn't matter who's across the ring from Matthysse, they're gonna hit the canvas. The match-up is dumb, but at least it'll be an entertaining stoppage win for Lucas.

Very smart move by GBP.

Brook is going to take a lot of fans over, the chances are that fight will be quite a snoozefest. They'll get to see Lucas absolutely crush Beltran and think ''Wow, what a killer!'' and the U.K fans will all know Garcia from flattened Khan so they'll be loving the prospect of that fight.

I disagree. I think they're trying to preserve Garcia vs. Khan 2.

And they also risk losing more money in the long run cause chances are Matthysse will not make them as much money as Garcia could due to PR's starting to embrace this guy...

You mean Lundy and Alexander-Brook will not have as much exposure as the Garcia fight IMO. Putting Matthysse on the undercard of this fight makes sense since Alexander will probably make it a snoozefest but that's about it. Only positive thing here is, Lucas will gain some fans from overseas.

He looked like a killer against Ajose and Soto already. And how much exposure are you going to get on an undercard of Brook vs. Alexander in LA on a date in which a card with Garcia/Salido andGolovkin/Rosado is scheduled?

Yea he will continues to look impressive, it is still a TV fight on a major network that will get replayed and DVRed by a bunch of people. It is a showcase fight, you don't do showcase fights for a guy if you don't care about them~ you put guys you don't care about in constant tough fights hoping they can be a dragon slayer for your more popular guys~

Like I said on my previous post, I don't agree with this. They are putting him on a card that won't get much exposure and people won't be demanding the match up as much as if he was to be on the Garcia undercard instead.

What fight were they going to put him in that really could raise his stock? So the next best thing is to put him in a fight where he can shine, which will help him build more of a base. Which will help build demand for bigger fights, like I said above it is on a major network on a fairly major card and it will probably be the best most impressive fight on that card. It is a very good spot for him and he is likely to shine.

Obviously rather Garcia vs Matthysse but I could never get tired of watching Amir get his chin belted off and doing some silly dance.

Not sure we can look completely past Judah though, mind you its the top level and could do wonders for his career so hes bound to lose in embarrassing fashion.

Easy work for Mathysse

This makes Garcia-Judah look good.

How about leaving him on the Garcia-Judah undercard vs Cano? Cano impressed a lot of people who believed he beat Paulie. How's that for promoting and raising both fighters' stocks? How does moving him from Garcia-Judah to Alexander-Brook fighting a bum show they care about him.....?
