Comments Thread For: Peterson-Matthysse Finalized For First Leg of 140 Tourney

[rey guey]

Peterson is either getting KOed or beat up over 12.

Peterson is a good fighter but it's the same Peterson who Ortiz dropped at will. the only reason Ortiz got a draw is because he loses heart against pressure fighters. Peterson is a tough guy but if he lets Matthysse connect enough it's lights out. this fight isn't rocket science

Matthysse probably beats Garcia pretty easily. Garcia is decent puncher but I don't think he can go toe to toe with Matthysse. I only see that fight being blow by blow because I've never seen Garica show the boxing ability to beat Matthysse by out boxing him. he hardly ever jabs or even thows many straight shots. Garcia likes to hook and he's good at it. I just can't see him winning a war against Matthysse.


Khan would be the most difficult. yes I know Garcia knocked him out but that was more due to Khan being a jack*ss. if Khan stays on the outside and gets on his bike. with that kind of hand speed he could pop a combo, move and do the same thing all night.

if Khan fought them like that both Garcia and Matthysse would have problems beating him.

really I only want to see Garcia vs Matthysse. I think Garcia needs to quit the BS and fight his mando and get it over with or vacate his title.

Got love for mathysse and I think it'll be mathysse vs. garcia in the final, from here I think its going to be who wants it more. I honestly believe khan is the better boxer compared to every guy in the tourney, his chin just sucks. I love the tourney format it so awesome and makes these fights even bigger. Can't wait!!!

not this one. peterson his going to beat the breaks off mathysse. lucas has never seen the body attack that lamont brings to the fight. lamont also has longer arms,faster,and better defense. this is a great fight.

How could you be saying it for ages, when Garcia JUST blew up less than a year ago? Since winning the title, he knocked out Khan in an upset and Morales [rematch], both fights expected to be tough. Now he's fighting Judah who at least is coming off a TKO upset victory over the favored Vernon Paris.

You dude's seriously need to quit that "ducking" bull****, which the majority of times is all false and uncalled for. Damn near all the time, the ducking accusations are all false.

Garcia and Matthysse are relatively new growing "stars" of the sport, let them at least breathe once before you start jumping on Garcia's back about who to fight and who he's ducking.

Peterson has a great chin and an awsome workrate lets see how mathysse can get his bombs off, this is going to be a hell of a fight bo doubt about it. Mathysse wins by late stoppage in my opinion. 140 must be hottest division in boxing at the moment no wonder Broner wants to bypass it and move up to 147 and fair play to Khan if he stays and fights the winner of this tournament cos his chin is seriously going to get tested again

boxing fans know khan has bigger fan base and brings more money to the table than the other 3 guys but that doesn't make him a better fighter than those 3 guys, so if he's bringing that much money to the table he should probably bring it to the table right now before he loses that too and fight someone respectable instead of the guys he's been fighting from lower weight classes with no legs and no arms.
