I'm more hesitant than I was a couple weeks ago, but I still think Matthysse sends him into the front row. You back away from Lucas, he eventually catches you and I don't think Khan's standing up to that. -
lucas pulls a prescott on khan or kahn pulls a dallas jr on matthysseComment

Khan's speed gives Matthysse problems early. He lands a lot of clean shots. As the fight goes on Matthysse starts to have more success. Khan struggles more and more to keep him off of him and his lack of an inside game begins to resurface. He falls into his old habit of standing in front of Matthysse with a high guard taking punishment (which Hunter admonished him for against Collazo) and eventually catches something that hurts him. Goes down from a barrage of punishment but beats the count and sees out the round. I see this pattern repeating itself and Khan getting stopped by the ref late on in the fight.Comment

I'm inclined to agree, but Khan has some big size and reach advantages that might be highly relevant early. Though I think Matthysse's compactness may work well for him later, especially if Khan gets clinchy, or if, like you said, he can be a determined pitbull when Khan backs away.Comment

If Khan can stay away from Matthysse's bombs for long enough like he did against Maidana, Khan can box him to a decision.
If Matthysse lands it's goodnight Vienna.
Boxing being the most unpredictable sport it is, you just never know.
The same people who'll put their house on Khan getting KO'd in this matchup will probably be the ones who were putting their house on Matthysse KO'ing Garcia, Maidana KO'ing Khan etc.Comment
