Comments Thread For: Lucas Matthysse Back in Title Hunt in March or April

King? Thats an insult to Simba you just throw there. The guy is pretty good, but he's never been a champion, simple as that.
Contender forever my friend.

He already destroyed one champ in 3 rounds, but it was fought at CW. so no title on line.

really?!?....please don't start that bs again!!

10 legitimate low blows and 11 more questionable low blows define a "Phili Champ" lmao.

I don't think he ruined him. That was a closer fight than most people think. Garcia definitely won the fight, but Matthysse was in control from rounds 1-6, you could have easily scored those 5-1 or 4-2 for Lucas. But he pretty much lost every round after that. I think the only other round you could give to Lucas was probably the 10th, but other than that Garcia completely controlled the 2nd half of the fight.

Of course Danny didn't "ruin" Lucas. Danny had a perfect round seven -- when he closed Lucas' eye... That left hooks dramatically changed the course of the fight. But Lucas was no "ruined" -- he was actually blinded...

He should move to 147.

Lucas needs 2 stay@'40 as 2 small @ WW...what he needs is 3 get some versatility in his style, get a trainer to teach him movement & better defense, like a Spanish speaking Birmingham...

Lucas is small even at 140... (One cannot be taught movement and defense at the age of 30...)

Unlike Broner Danny tamed his first big test. U had clowns on this board claiming Danny wss scared

Danny was scared, you cant take that back man, win or lose.
The way in which the ref. allowed Danny to go MMA while Lucas had to stick to boxing reminded me of the Maidana Broner fight. Danny landed at least 12 low blows, was allowed to wrestle at will, spat his mouth piece and had the fight stopped when in trouble and got a KD that didnt happen.
In a fair fight Danny would have very little chance, but you cant seem to expect that when GBP is protecting their investment.

I'd say the only people who don't agree about Lucas being in control until Garcia swelled his eye are people who hate Lucas for whatever reason. That's why a rematch would be very interesting.

Can't wait to see Lucas back in the ring.
