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

[-PBP-]

if it ends up with peterson and garcia is it a non title fight or do they not fight at all?

It would be a unification fight. The issue here is the IBF doesn't unify with interim champions. Garcia is the regular champion so it won't be an issue.

But you got to be realistic. He got a fight scheduled for April. You can't back out of a contract and screw the fans over that bought their tix back in February. They both need to take interim fights.

What do you want? Matthysse vs. Dallas Jr. 2 as a tuneup for Garcia in the fall?

Why all the sarcasm?

I already told you what I and many others want. It's Garcia vs Mathysse.

Again, while Judah was getting KO'd by Khan, Mathysse was putting in work thus bypassing Judah for a shot at the title.

Before the April fight with Judah was even scheduled it should've been Garcia-Mathysse after Mathysse beat Olusegun down.

Hell, if you really want to get technical, it should've been Olusegun vs Garcia before Judah. I don't care about some rematch clause with Morales.

This is what the people wanted and the sanctioning bodies agreed too. Olusegun was the mandatory.

Because in order to have both belts at the sane time u have to unify. Its either that or drop one. So the orgs have to agree to let it be a unification. If not, u drop one belt. The orgs don't agree so someone as to drop a belt. It really is no difference. Thats the definition of a unification. How should u be allowed to unify and not have your belt on the line anyways? So u can get the other belt but u cant lose yours? That's not really a unification.

i understand unifications pretty clearly.. what youre sayin is irrelevant to what im sayin .. what im sayin is how would mathysse lose his interim belt if it's not on the line given there have been champions that fought for one belt and lost but got to keep his other belt that was'nt on the line ..

Sounds like Lucas isn't confident in beating Peterson put the fake belt on the line and get it on

GBP dont want it to be stolen by TR, GBP want to keep the belts

but recently the wbc has not wanted to unify

You can unify. You just can't keep both.

Canelo vs. Trout is a WBC unification fight.

what people?i thought the people wanted garcia-matthysse

[BoxingGenius27]

what does garcia have to do with matthysse?

who was garcia before he fought amir?

he was a replcement that made the best of his oppertunity and is now the champ its not like garcia was looked at as one of the major players at 140 3-4 years ago so what does lucas fights with judah and alexander have to do with garcia?garcia win over khan is better than any win matthysse has and since danny beat khan the only fighters matthysse has beat is olsegun who is only hyped up by matthysse fans and mike dallas so in comparison to garcia since garcia has been champ matthyse level of competition is not that much better

Let's go by your standards then. Not being a player at 140 for 3-4 years, but beating Khan while he was already coming off a loss = automatically deserving cake fights against Morales and Judah?

Lastly, if you expect me to respond clearly to your paragraphs, you're going to have to learn how to break up your words with periods and chill with all the run-on sentences.

I can't effectively respond to that garbage excuse for a paragraph and I won't decipher through all that stuff trying to answer clearly. At least with PBP, I can understand what he's asking and the points he's making; although I might not agree. I don't know what the heck you have going on.

So, in short, if you want a serious response, ask a question like a grown man instead of a 2nd grader and I'll give you what you want. Until then, please stay out of adult conversations.

We're saying the same thing.

You need to read through this thread before jumping in the middle.

Who cares about belts anymore? As long as you still get to see the damn fight and at the end there will only be one winner (unless is a draw XD) you can put imaginary belts on the winner if its so damn important to you...
