Comments Thread For: Matthysse Survives Two Knockdowns To Drill Molina

[assiong]

Lucas came back better ? did Herrera beat up the champ ? did he drop him or visibly hurt him ? he won a jabbing contest/sparring session that's it. Herrera does that to all 140 pounders.

Did Herrera in your opinion outboxed and out hustle Garcia? Does Winky wins his majority fights with jabs and occasional power punches, is he just sparring those guys he beats?

Some of you need to pop Matthysse's **** out of your mouths. Molina is always a beast. Dude is just plain tough and to discredit him shows how little you know about boxing. Matthysse isn't the same? He's still got it, you all just underestimated Molina. Molina took a huge step up fighting Lucas and proved he belongs.

And boy can he punch Molina is. If he utilize his jab to set up his right cross or straight right, Lucas would have been in much more trouble by point or TKO. Kudos to both of them though great fight FOTY no doubt.

It wasn't an early stoppage. Molina got caught cold and couldn't recover. All of that is moot tho. Molina is a decent fighter, but he's not exactly world class. His power is but Lucas struggling was unexpected

Yeah it was a bit early. Molina wasnt protecting himself but he wasnt hurt that badly. It showed his inexperience as a pro. He should've taken a knee. It's just that simple. He never went down, he was just bent over on the ropes trying to avoid shots.

This is pro boxing. You have to "Beat" the champ especially in his home town. Garcia did land more power punches. Herrera gave him good work. Did Martin Murray "beat" Sergio in Argentina ? did Marquez "beat" Chris John in Argentina ? did Julio diaz "beat" amir con in uk ?

Lucasbis not the same since the danny fight. Lucas is no more than a hypedjob very dissapointed .

Have you been punch in a head by a heavy hander? If not STFU, Lucas showed how a true warrior reacts after getting hurt like that. He adjusted, landed his left hands constantly, set up his straight right by using his jabs, duck down avoiding Molinas right hand, c'mon man what else can he do to win the fight if you were one of the judges? He did knocked Molina violently twice, the last one is just to keep him on the canvas if you didn't notice it.

Does anyone know of a site, not a live stream but where you can go 1-2 days after the Mayweather fight to see the May 3rd card? soso boxing dot come used to do this but they haven't updated in at least 6 months. They used to upload fights later in the day or evening.

The video trading block here usually gets fights up pretty quickly.

Yes. Marquez beat John in Argentina. >__>...

Martinez did beat Murray if you count rounds (surprise. This is boxing)


Herrera to me won... I felt he won a boxing match (won more rounds)... You dont have to ko the champ in his "home" town to win. If you can outwork and outbox someone you should be able to get a decision despite not having power.

Matthysse won every round aside from the two KDs. He still won those rounds imo..

At The End Of The Day, Molina Didn't Hit Hard Enough

So now Molina can explain why he was unable to close the deal on Matthysse, and got stopped himself. I'm sure it was a helluva fight, but I'd rather the guys drop the trash talk. It means nothing.

Fight of the Year and we are only 4 months in.

War Matthysse! Hell of a fight, props to Molina.
