Comments Thread For: Matthysse Not Concerned With Facing Adrien Broner

[WombBat]

It is funny how certain posters are defending Lucas..had it been Broner that said this they would have flipped out...Broner is calling Lucas out and ya'll said he was scared of Lucas and now Lucas is the one brushing him off.KEEP IT REAL DAMN

Absolutely right.

Lucas is ducking him.

Matthysse is wrong about that, but he seem to be entirely focused on getting a world title now. Understandable I guess, given that he's only held an interim title to date.

But if he was offered the Broner fight he'd be a fool not to take it. Every time Broner gets beaten there's less value in it. But there's still value in beating him now.

I like MAttysse but if he is all about titles than he should have never agreed to take the IBF title off the table when he fought Peterson. Kind of bullsh#t how boxing politics has him bypass a title opportunity with a 141 catchweight to keep his "interim" WBC status. He should have went into the Garcia fight with his title against Danny's 2 titles in a unification bout. The fact that Lamont is still IBF champ is laughable.

maybe he thinks that he can't beat broner.

Broner's team said the same thing first, actually.

"Broner’s trainer doesn’t want him to fight Matthysse next
September 10, 2014

By Dan Ambrose:

Mike Stafford, the trainer for former three time world champion Adrien Broner (29-1, 22 KOs), says he prefers that Broner not fight #1 WBO, #2 WBC Lucas Matthysse (36-3, 34 KOs) next. Stafford wants Broner to fight for a world title and pick up a belt before fighting Matthysse at a later date."

step up to the plate *****. scared of getting that ass beaten again?

[Cinci Champ]

Normalwise in a situationlike this I would say Matthysse is ducking him but considering the facts that Broner isn't a really big name yet in 14 and Matthysse really deserves a belt and he hunts for one of the for years I can understand that he chooses that direction instead of Broner. And if I know it right he is mandatory for the vacant WBO title so it's even more logical.

lol love or hate broner hes a big name come on now

[Cinci Champ]

So neither guy is hearing a thing about fighting each other, I take it. Why put them on the same card, as if they are going to fight each other next, if they're not?

lol love how u come in here afraid to call matyssee a ducker im shocked were talking about a guy who moved up 2 weight classes and fought maidana u honestly think hes scared lol please
