Comments Thread For: Matthysse Not Concerned With Facing Adrien Broner

[mathed]

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

Dunno, Broner might actually think he is fighting that OTHER Argentinian while walking to the ring and start having flashbacks or something.

Garcia on the other hand needs to rematch Herrera and accept his beating like a man.

Lucas has no balls. He is ducking broner what a problem.

mathysse wants a title, as a fighter thats one of the goals. haymon probably short changing mathysse on the deal and prefers to give his son the bigger share of the pie

Back in September, junior welterweights Lucas Matthysse (36-3, 34KOs) and Adrien Broner (29-1, 22KOs) were featured in separate Showtime televised fights from the U.S. Bank Arena in Cincinnati, Ohio.

After Broner won his main event over Emmanuel Taylor, he called for a fight with Matthysse. Viewers believed the two boxers were placed on the card to promote a possible future meeting.

What Mattysse is saying is that Al Haymon has no intention of making a Matthysse/Broner fight for a title or anything else. He will arrange for Matthysse to get a title shot against some guy he finds in a European morgue on Showtime Championship Boxing. Broner will fight Rod Salka on the undercard of that fight.

Matthysse would destroy broner. Danny Garcia needs to step up and give the man his rematch... but na team DSG said they wont fight matthysse until he's their mandatory again. in the mean time DSG gonna keep fighting bums.

Winning a belt usually signals a power shift in a division. Though he provides entertainment value and has world-level experience, Matts isn't a big name. He's the type of fighter that benefits the most from a belt. He's getting older and winning a belt is probably something on his bucket list.

We already know the drill though. If Haymon wants to match them up, he will. If Haymon decides to persuade a sanctioning body to make the match-up for a belt, then he will. Garcia can move up, make the WBC belt vacant and Broner/Matts fight for the belt.

Since the various parties are still mainly making in-house fights, then ownership of that belt is important for Haymon. I don't know if he has any intention of making Lucas vs Broner, but if he does, I think he'll wait until he has that belt in his pocket first.

So Broner wasn't lying when he said Matthysse doesn't want to fight him...

[Dean_Razorback]

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

how can anyone say lucas is ducking broner when it was broner's dad who first said, they are only fighting lucas if it is on ppv and for a belt. the same thing his trainer said, they are only fighting lucas for a belt, if no, they will look for another taylor kinda opponent. and they said this things immediately after broner called lucas out.

lucas originally response was "i hope he isn't joking" if they offer him the fight for real he will take it.

Matthysse is a Haymon boy. "It's too risky" is now an acceptable excuse for professional fighters.

*Rocky is mobbed by media*

"Mr. Balboa what do you think about facing Ivan Drago? Will you avenge your friend's death?"

"No. It's too risky. I'd like to thank Al Haymon." *Gets into limo with Rod Salka driving*
