Golden Boy hasn't handled Matthysse or Maidana very well.
I don't know why people forget about something called weight divisons.
so Matthysse has to go up to welterweight and fight Maidana or he's ducking him?
let's get something straight.
Lucas Matthysse is Danny Garcia's mandatory opponent. Garcia shows no interest in fight him whatsoever, take a fight with Judah instead. and it looks like that fight will be delayed even longer.
what are people supposed to think?
Garcia called Matthysse an "average tough guy" and says he doesn't deserve a shot but some how Amir Khan deserves a rematch? Zab Judah has done what since being totally smoked by Amir Khan?
then you have this so called injury that happens to be reported a few hours after Matthysse's KO.
maybe Garcia isn't afraid of Matthysse but everything he's done so far seems like it. if Matthysse is really isn't a threat then Garcia should forget about Judah and fight Matthysse instead.

I continually say Maidana is superior in every way to fighters that are there to be hit! Other fighters can frustrate him with movement, countering, or defense.
Enter Alexander. While I did say I thought his heart would be a problem against Maidana, there are a few things to consider. Maidana looked fat, blown up. First fight at that weight and what A challenge to accept for your first fight at a weight! Ghost can only dream of having such balls. Instead he fights a one handed fighter named Aydin, and pulls the wool over all of your eyes, until now, hopefully. Also devon did his best not to play to Maidana's strengths, which was wise of him. He held and moved and made it a stinker of a fight... But he won.
And that's the only way someone can beat a Maidana, by stinking out the joint.

Originally posted by Syf View PostThere is no shame in the Khan fight for Maidana. He fought that boy at his prime, woefully unprepared for the fight he was in for. Yet he gutted it out passed some devastating body shots and nearly stopped Khan in the later rounds. The body shots slowed Chino down so the fact that he hung In there says much. Khan wasn't really there to be hit though. He fought tall and skated a lot.
