Comments Thread For: Matthysse Didn’t Think Peterson KO Would Come That Fast

[PRBOXINGCOTTO]

I think he was surprised that he finally got a win over a top fighter I was hoping it would be foty but it didnt live up to the hype but sept 7 that will be foty no doubt about it

that is exactly what i felt when i saw lucas's facial exressions when he landed those bombs and when smoger waived it off. it looked like "god dayum am i strong as fuck!!! where the shit did THAT come from?!"

He looked so happy standing on the Ropes, was nice to watch. I felt bad for Peterson, not getting to have a decent showing

I give both these guys more credit than Floyd Mayweather deserves, for not hand picking their opponent, then showing up to fight, and not hit and run, hit and avoid, dodge, jab and run. This fight is good for Boxing, and it cleans out the pretenders from the the real deal. Personally I think this was too much fight for Peterson on the heels of the Kendall Holt fight, which was very competitive and hard fought until the stoppage. Matthysse/Garcia will be Alvarado/Rios and a greater level. They should pit the winner against Alvarado.... And that winner should get Maidana. Those are great fights waiting to happen. Nobody enjoys seeing Mayweather on his bicycle like we saw with Guerrero. Floyd got more credit for the Cotto fight because he had no choice but to fight his azz off. Floyd showed nothing against Guerrero.

You must be young or new to the sport. It has always been like this until someone becomes a superstar, then they start picking and choosing who they want to fight.

lucas is that good that even he surprised himself it was that easy....

Manny Pacquiao vs Brandon Rios
Marcos Maidana vs Joesito Lopez
Juan Manuel Marquez vs Tim Bradley (Winner Gets Shane Mosley)

Arum and Golden Boy want to protect their fighters, or hoard them to fight each other under the same promotion for their own bank-roll. Screw them.

Matthysse KO's Garcia, then beats Provodnikov.

Maidana beats Lopez.
Shane Mosley beats EITHER JMM or Bradley.

Agreed. Floydie has alotta cashish, but not much in the way of stones.... but he's always been like that. Just moreso in recent years. I was pleased to see this fight though. Two guys not ducking, and going at it. We didn't see a track meet last night. We saw a fight.

Funny, I've watched boxing since the early 60s when I saw my first local fight, and I have never seen as much of a ducker as I see with Floydie. Yeah, duckers are out there... but not as much as him.

Maybe not FOTY but could be Round of the year. That 3rd round was electrifying.
