I'm still not sold with Lucas Matthysse

[MR.PLANAS]

First of all, it wasn't only Peterson's choice to deviate from his plan. Lucas started to rough him up in the inside and by Peterson's own admission, he got carried away. Even so if he got carried away Lucas started to close the gap in the second round and get aggressive. Meaning that even if Peterson would have tried to continue to box he was eventually starting to get tagged. Don't forget that by the end of the first round when Peterson was boxing from the outside Lucas connected with a left and a right.

Secondly, Steve Smoger gave Peterson two chances to recover and in those two chances after giving Peterson the count he pushed Lucas back giving Peterson a little bit extra time. I have to add that in the second kd Peterson fell over trying to get up. Many referees would have stopped it right there, yet Smoger continued to count and once Peterson got up, took a good look at him, gave him two more seconds before pushing Lucas back again. Also, not only Smoger gave Peterson a break but did anyone notice that the bell between the second and the third round took a bit longer than usual after the rest had expired. In all Peterson was given big breaks to recover and couldn't withstand Lucas pressure.

Finally, Lucas has more than proofed that he is in the top 3 in 140. As of right now the only fighters I'd would rank above Lucas at 140 would be Juan Manuel Marquez or Pacquaio. Besides them, I don't see no other fighter with the tools to take him out or at least take a decision. And please do not mention Broner, it seems he wants no part in the 140 mix.

Why the hell did you write all that?

You have to stay off Twitter. 150 character is not enough!

Also, answering to every excuse made up to diminish Lucas victory.

Posts 3 & 4 sum it up for me.

Just admit you were wrong. (I'm hoping you didn't bet.)

Matthysse was weight drained

I kind of agree I'm not taking anything way from what Lucas did but I think it was more of Peterson stupi game plan that lost the fight for him rather then Lucas game plan working for him...all in all......good win and can't wait for Garcia vs Lucas

Until Garcia and daddy sign the fight, i'm not to sure they want it.

Lamont is black. Not gonna happen. If Lamont had utterly dominated Lucas, knocked him down a few times and nearly knocked him out, then he would have had 11 even rounds, and one round for Lucas, thus giving him the close win.

Lamont is black???

Buddy he got caugh once he was on the inside while he was boxing nobody touched nobody.....I'm not trying to make excuses like I said I can give a dam about either fighter and glad Lucas finally got his win he deserved but Peterson did exactly what he was not suppose to

yes this... you're a pro fighter right?

I think the fact that he came in at 150 should be proof that he's a solid LWW who doesn't need to go up to 147 just yet.

That's a good observation, Matthysse is the man @140!
