How would Maidana vs Lucas Matthysse play out @ 140 or 147?

[El Angel]

Matthysse gets him out of inside the distance. I think Maidana's style play right into Lucas' hands. Great fight while it lasts though.

What's crazy is how the exact opposite happened of what I expected with these two in their last fights. Expected Lucas to beat up on Garcia, and Broner to tough out the decision over Maidana.

Boxing sometimes, why I love it.

MATTHYSSE!!!!!!!

I'd like to see Matthysse have a comeback fight but I think he'd wreck Maidana, he actually throws punches and goes to the body.

Maidana takes people's soul.
Even when he loses he seems to leave some permanent damange in all of those he fought. Matthysse hits like a bag of bricks and is more technical, so I'd think he wins. Lucas is smarter, has better defense and more boxing skills, while Chino is more like a beast that comes straight at you looking to beat the the living crp out of you. Even if you knock him down, he gets up and continues to maul you. He's not kidding when he says you have to kill him to stop him.
I wouldnt be surprised if Chino won either. Would be glad if either one won.
One thing's for sure, it would be epic.

Hope to see it in the future (This is the one reason I was hoping for a Broner win, so both these guys could fight each other).
It may be a while before we see it now Maidana would have to lose his next fight or Lucas would have to move up and get a solid win.
You know Golden Boy is saving this trilogy for next year.

I know Lucas has built this myth around him, but he hasn't been fighting the level of competition that el Chino has.

Logic dictates that Lucas is a better fighter; their power is probably similar; while Maidana's chin is likely weaker. And yet, if one of these guys has the capability to rise to the occasion, it is Maidana. Lucas has fallen short in spite of his advantages whenever he goes up a level, even if some losses were close.

at 140 Matthysse , 147 hard to say since Lucas has never fought there and is already a small dude

He was tagging Danny from 1-12 and Danny moves much better than maidana and has better defense as well

Maidana v Khan, Kotelnik, Alexander? Matthysse would beat all three. He'd have beat Garcia too imo but was desperately unlucky with eye swelling.

Regardless, I would take Maidana over Matthysse at 147 and maybe at 140 too based on Matthysse losing to him 3 times and his reluctance to take the fight.

I'd pay to see these warriors go at it. How about as co-headliner with Garcia-Bradley and the winners facing off..
