How are they gonna have his son as the Ring Magazine Champion and they have the mandatory contender on the cover instead of the champ? I can see how that can be disrespectful. I understand his resentment towards other countries. The media seems to have more respect towards foreign fighters than American fighters. The ring magazine cover for September is proof of that. Matthysse is world class but he's not the champ. On paper he's only beaten two world class fighters like Soto and Peterson, but Garcia is the Ring Magazine champ, he's undefeated, he's American, and he's beaten more world champs than Matthysse.

Matthysse is far more liked, even in America. It's pretty common sense stuff to put him up, especially when running a business of selling names and magazines.

I think that the whole "don't disrespect me brah" "respect me brah" is a lazy way for athletes to motivate themselves. But whatever works.
Fans shouldn't take it seriously. Who cares.

I definitely see where he's coming from. But I think this is yet another example that belts don't mean sh.it anymore.
