Lucas vs Keith - Is GBP trying to cash in on Matthysse?

[Juof]

This fight will make or break thurman Gbp are looking for the next big thing and are not afraid to match a lot of their top guys to find out who is the best of the bunch

[sbbigmike]

Thurman is good, but if his power doesnt bail him out he gets lost pretty much, Chaves was beating him, and karass was rocking his world.

Lucas lands anything flush on thurman and he is going down and staying down.

Thank you, finally somebody that actually watches fights, instead of hopping on Bandwagons, all this Thurman talk and he aint fight a top 10 WW, shyttt top 15 WW with GB stable from 140-154, that should let people know exactly what Thurman is, I know hype jobs i'm not fooled. Thurman is yon, tough and exciting but is too chinny to wild with his hands down style and he has little answers for someone stalking and walking him down, therefore this is a horrible matchup for him.........


This has nothing to do about cashing in Matthysse, this has everything to do with letting LM shine, so there could be luster on a Maidana match after Floyd is done with him...........

Cash in what? lol Matthysse isn't even a money guy. Cashing in a guy would be putting Khan in with Thurman.

Matthysse is still a top guy regardless if he loses to Thurman.

Lucas can def win

rich schaefer is setting up the fight he's always talked about. let's face it, marcos has a slim chance of beating floyd so he'll be coming off a loss soon and he's feeding matthysse to thurman in his debut at 147, it's a very risky fight that lucas, a much smaller fighter, has a good chance of losing. maidana-matthysse next if all goes according to plan.

I don't know now, Lucas is 5'9 and Thurman is 5'7-1/2 so its not like he is massively bigger even if Lucas is taller. If Lucas did go upto 147 it maybe a good thing, Maidana made noise at 147 and he is around 5'9 and didn't look huge at 140.

lucas is not 5'9. where did you get that? if you've seen him in person he's really short, like 5'6.

karass is listed at 5'9 and thurman is about as big as him.

LOL

Lucas isn't 5'9

[MexicanMauler]

Either way that is one hell of a fight.

[boxing maniac]

Matthysee is nowhere near 5'9" more like 5'6" with shoes on !

[SnakeVen0m]

He's fought true 154lb fighters, but the most recent was Carlos Quintana at a catchweight of 152. Lucas is too small for Thurman anyway.
