Keep it in the middle of the ring and BOX HIM! Much like Danny did with Zab the first half of their fight, much like Zab did against Matthysse during the early parts of their fight. You get in serious trouble when you start backing up against Matthysse giving him even more room to get off with his Power and especially when you corner yourself and start to lean on the ropes that is really when he swarms with his Power. Stay in the pocket and try to smother his Power and don't be too proud to clinch when you need to do so, you have to make the fight STRATEGICALLY BORING!
Matthysse is a BEAST absolutely but the man is not "UNBEATABLE" by any stretch, he can be out-boxed but I am not sure if anybody at 140 at the moment is skilled enough to out-box him for 12 Rounds and be able to avoid taking his Power CLEANLY. Danny Garcia looked like he had some Stamina issues against Zab and got sloppy the second half of their fight. He does that against Matthysse he gets knocked out late
