Comments Thread For: Schaefer Explains The Peterson-Matthysse Catch-Weight

Like I said, he's better than Morales; that's for damn sure, regardless of who picked Morales to win.

If someone picked Morales to beat Garcia in the 2nd fight, then either Garcia really sucks or they don't need to be posting. One of the two.

Well Garcia only fought Morales again because there was a rematch clause....and I was talking about the first fight.

as long as Garcia is lineal champ, the other belts don't matter
not sure why people act like Lucas' interim belt is a real title
this fight will be good, screw who holds what belt
Garcia damn well better fight Lucas, don't know if the series is solid
Garcia might drop out if he gets the chance to

[joesaiditstrue]

this is ******, why didn't they take care of this a long time ago

take care of it how, pay off the IBF? the sanctioning bodies are the problem here, threatening to strip the fighters for trying to unify? i remember back in the 80's and 90's where this **** was what fight fans expected, now it's frowned upon, this is all bull****

Peterson is gonna beat Matthysse, not sure why everyone just went crazy for him, I think he's a great fighter but I don't see him as the best one at 140. He beat Devon and Judah in my eyes too but they really were close fights, and those guys aren't that special at 140. I really hope Judah spanks Garcia but i don't see that happening either. Anyways, Peterson is a beast at this weight too, the only guy I see going to 140 and being better than the rest is Broner. The rest are all A class fighters with heart, skill, power, just ****ing disgusting sick fighters I love this division, but Broner is the only that stands out with his skills and abilities, he's unproven but then again everyone starts somewhere so we;ll see how it goes

Broner isn't even in 140, you ****** and he hasn't been tested yet.

If Peterson beats Matthysse, oh boy.......there's going to be some Matthysse fans eating a lot s**t for awhile.

Horrible expression. Who are you picking in the fight?

I'm calling major BS on this one from Schaefer.

1 - You can't unify a legit world title with an interim belt.
2 - A non-title bout is possible at 140.

That is a good point.

DC is my hometown, I support any and everything from DC and support Peterson to the fullest. But this boy is about to get blasted. I'm just keeping it real.

I don't see anything in his arsenal that can give Matthysse the slightest bit of trouble.

Peterson's body work will give Matthysse problems later in the fight. Matthysse is a power puncher thats all. I dont see nothing he does that will give Peterson as long as his chin holds up.

[Los Zetas]

Because then he loses his shot at Garcia.

Why can't GBP make a Garcia VS Matthyse fight since they promote both? When is the mandatory fight due?

The WBC seem to be doing unification fights now it seems, and that would appear to mean that goes over any Mandatory.

I used to think having a new promoter like golden boy will make things better.

My only complaint is that this is a four fighter round robin. Kahn should be in the round robin maybe against Khabib or someone. I like the matchups though. Garcia/Judah is fine for a 1 seed vs a 4 seed, and Peterson and Matthyse is good for a 2 and 3 seed getting it on. If Kahn was in this round robin now, edging out Judah. It'd be Garcia/Kahn. At least Judah is fresh and I think Judah is tougher than Kahn and will go more rounds. I think he'll give Garcia more experience than Kahn would. He'll be dangerous for 6-8 rounds and I think then Garcia will put him down like a daft dog in 10.

Mattyse/Peterson though is going to be fire. I can't call it yet, but I'm leaning on Mattyhse to edge out in a 12TKO

[Kingdelboxeo]

So will this be a 10 rounder??
