Comments Thread For: Lucas Matthysse Eyes February 28 Return, WBO Title

[Dean_Razorback]

What we'll actually get is Broner/a nobody for the WBO, Garcia/random contender so he can keep his WBC, and Matthysse/nobody for nothing.

this is also really likely. especially the part of broner getting another belt against low opposition

Give the shot to Herrera! So Lucas can smoke him. Lol fans and media have been all over Mauricio and this will be a gd way to award him.

Wait so the WBO can now make Matthysee vs Provodnikov

[kiaba360]

you're forgetting Peterson in these match-ups or if he is IBF he can only fight unification?

maybe Garcia is staying at 140 unless he gets Floyd?

matthysse v ruslan is a real tough fight but, if algieri is no 1 surely he will get first chance of the title fight?

If Garcia stays at 140, then I assume he'll be unifying with Peterson. LP is one of few guys that Garcia hasn't faced yet so it makes sense. My prediction is all based on Garcia moving to 147 and leaving the division wide open.

As for the WBO, it seems ****** for them to let Algeri fight for the belt immediately after WBO stripped him. But, he is ranked #1 so I guess he'll be fighting for the belt against Matthysse who's #2. It's possible that Haymon prevents Matts from fighting Algeri, and so we'd get Algeri/Ruslan 2.

What we'll actually get is Broner/a nobody for the WBO, Garcia/random contender so he can keep his WBC, and Matthysse/nobody for nothing.

Please don't even say it, we've dealt with enough bull**** in 2014. It's time to get back to significant match-ups in 2015.

They should make it up to Herrera for taking 4 of his belts (5 with Peterson's IBF) by having him fight Algieri, Matthyse, or Broner for this belt. After he schools them, you guys can get your wish when they rob him again.

Most likely it's gonna be a tomato can against Matthysee. Typical Haymon BS fight. There will be less than 7 weeks left until the fight once the opponent is announced. There will not be enough time for a big time contenter or champion to face Lucas unless they push back the date. Most likely Zappavigna if the fight takes place in California.

The WBO should have a 4 man tournament to decide a new WBO champ at 140lbs
Crawford vs #3 Provodnikov
#1 Algieri vs #2 Matthysee
Winner of these bouts fight each other for vacant title.
