    Manny wins this in a rough fight in my opinion. Manny tko's Matthysse late I think. A smaller opponent who is not a great mover or a great technician will be taken out even by this version of Pac.

    The issue is does Manny have problems going down in weight? If I were his team I would not consider going down in weight as it adds too many variables.

    Another interesting piece is how Molina's body size and shape/height/reach were what helped him set up those knockdowns. Manny is closer to Lucas's size so that is also an interesting part of this potential fight.

      This fight is too tough to make a prediction on.
      I like both fighters but I can't say either one hits harder or has a stronger chin than the other.
      Age favors Lucas.
      Experience Favors Pacman.
      Flip a coin on this one but it would be one fight that I would actually pay for on PPV.

          Not sure if Lucas is the smaller guy

            After last night I'd side with Pac. Every left hand is gonna buckle Lucas and Lucas has terrible footwork. He could catch Manny though, and put him to sleep. Whoever lands there big punch first

              I know he typically weighs in the low 150s, I don't know what he was last night though.

                Matthysse has a great stamina. It would be a war. But i still think, that pac beats him.
                UD for PAC.

                    That's a lot to put on overnight. I wonder if it was more about the layoff than outgrowing the division. I guess Matthysse thinks he's getting too big if he wants to move up.

                      Lucas by K.O

                      Manny is shot to ****.
                      Marquez couldn't miss the overhand right, Bradley couldn't, that is Matthysses signature shot.

                      He was fearful of Bradleys power and reluctant to engage. Bradley couldn't miss him and was hurting him man.

                      Manny is done, his speeds gone (hand and foot), his lateral movement, his pop, killer instinct. People will just refer to p4p this, p4p that. It was a fight between two guys who was sloppy as ****. Manny is done and Bradley looked like a guy who had been dragged off the Street

                      Actually embarrassing that is supposedly two of the best fighters in the sport. Cringe inducing all round.
