Lol at the Mathysse hype, lets rewind back to 2010 shall we......

[PEBBLES!]

Mythysse (< no typo) is hilariously overrated. just the latest example of forum morons going gaga over a limited puncher and building up a gay little message-board cult around him, i agree.

Peterson's going to do a lot better against this guy than fools realize.

He couldn't K.O two known quitters? lol, oh yeah because Khan is really knocking everyone dead!

You can't K.O everyone at top level! Alexander quit once over a bad cut against an elite level fighter, he has one hell of a chin. Lucas is still the only guy to floor him.
Even to Judahs credit hes only been stopped 3 times those was to prime Cotto, Kostya Tsyzu & an arguable low-blow by Khan.

I'd say Matthysse was just coming into his prime when he fought Alexander.

He learned the hard way. It was his first time on the big stage and he floored both & clearly beat both guys. If you can't see he has improved you're blinded with hate.

He has floored/stopped everyone hes ever faced! Soto, Olusegun, Judah, Alexander etc etc
He will batter Peterson & they'll stick bring up how he didn't stop two guys years back

You going to give him credit for beating Peterson then?

he beat Judah, but it was close - Lucas' slow-starting ass gave the judges some room to gyp him.

the fight with Devon was close, too. what Kotelnik did to Devon was "clear", Mythysse didn't come close to dealing with Devon like Andriy did, knockdown or no.

this guy is being ridiculously overrated and that will come to light soon enough. it always does.

i'll give him the credit that is warranted for beating Peterson, if he even does so, which only goes so far.

if you're asking whether i'm going to hail him as the hard-punching badman who ate Cincinnati and 'the most feared boxer in boxing' *****sNiCkEr**))), then the answer is no.

Peterson is going to do much better than you disciples of Lucas realize. Mythysse (< no typo) is not walking through this guy.

matthysse is a good fighter but he gets extremely overrated around here, often by the same ppl who say zab and devon are complete garbage.

he should have got the alexander fight but against zab he wasnt robbed at all. but regardless, if they are such bums and matthysse is such a beast he would have handled them a lot easier. instead they both gave him all he could handle and zab beat him fair and square.

but matthysse is a good fighter, yet nowhere near the beast ppl around here play him out to be. he gets way too much credit for everything, whether its knocking out nobodies like dallas or his supposed robberies.

hes got power so you cant count him out against anyone but hes also extremely limited. for my money peterson is a far better fighter, the way their styles clash its a toss up though. still i wouldnt be surprised to see peterson take him to school, i certainly would enjoy it. i like matthysse but its hard to root for someone with fans like his.

Lucas is a pound for pound contender bro

The Judah fight I can sort of agree with but the Alexander fight was not close. The rounds was not close, it was a clear 96-93 win for Lucas at the worst. (I think that is giving Alexander the one close round)

Rewatch it, I genuinely can not see how anybody could even call that fight a draw even taking away the knockdown.

I'm hoping he beats Lucas so I can get Garcia vs Matthysse in Bk.

i'll defer to you on this, being that i haven't see the fight with Devon since the night of the fight and my memory may be sketchy.

i reviewed the Zab fight recently, though, and, while I thought Lucas definitely won a fight and got a raw deal, his slow start and general lack of dynamism gave the judges room to deliver the verdict they did without it being widely branded a disgrace.

i agree with the guy who opines that if Lucas was as good as he's being cracked up to be, he should have ended both guys, or at least battered them around so much that there'd be no controversy about who won.
