That fight would be even bigger if Matthysse puts a guy like Peterson in his resume. And the fight will sell in DC and expose him to the east coast market.
This is basically the tournament at 140 we've all been begging for. If only Rios and Khabib could be involved
If you ask MAttysee, he'll tell you how he's been hopping thru hoops while being promised this fight. First it was beat Ajose, then Dallas jr. Now it's beat Peterson. Its not up to Lucas, GBP will continue to protect Garcia and just find another opponent for Lucas
GBP is dropping all these names for lucas except 1, guess who that is
That's all fine and dandy, but Garcia fighting Judah in April 27 is a fact. There's nothing he could do about that. He should be angry that it's Judah instead of him, but there's zero reason for him to be mad over getting a title shot for his next fight. It's better for him to fight for a title next instead of a bum. It's not as if Garcia was ever going to fight Matthyse even if he Golden Boy wanted it. He would just vacate the WBC belt with the excuse that Khan is a bigger money fight.
Which will take him off the WBC rankings and take away his biggest leverage, a mando positioning
If you really believe Danny is ducking Matthysse than the WBC rankings wouldnt matter because Danny would just give up the belt. Personally I think Peterson is a better fighter than Danny at this stage in their carreer. I like Danny but if you take away his power hes pretty ordinary. But at the same time I dont think Dannys ducking Matthysse either.
