New Era of Boxing: Become a Champion Without Beating One

[Ma Dachine]

No, Matthysse was the one that didn't want his belt on the line. That way even if he lost to Lamont Peterson he would still be Danny Garcia's mandatory.

It's very interesting that people want to put the blame on Peterson instead.

If Matthysse won Peterson's belt, they were going to take away his interim belt for him to be in line for Garcia. Matthysse chose this on his own. To not win a belt in order to win a belt from the best. That's why people like him, and should applaud fighters like him.
