Comments Thread For: Matthysse Not Concerned With Facing Adrien Broner

[////]

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.

They're both ducking each other to milk it, like all these other guys who are obvious opponents then fight on the same card against separate TBAs. There's no other way to explain that crap.

In before ducking comments

its funny because he didnt say in the article that he won't fight him, he just said it's a pointless fight, which to Lucas & Broner, it would be, unless it was a title eliminator or title fight for a vacant strap

he never said he wouldn't fight him, he didnt even say he won't fight him without a belt on the line, he just said the truth, the fight holds no purpose to either guy other than seeing who has their hand raised

remember what lucas said after the broner card, "i hope he's serious"

come on people, stop the immature trolling

Haymon is gonna move Broner to the Top and Broner will fight Algieri

Broner is your dime a dozen monkey. He is so fat, it is obvious he is not going to last long in the sport. He also will surely retire broke like most african athletes.

Since the Maidana loss all he does is talk. Surely, he could make the rematch if he wanted, but noway his team ever lets him fight Maidana again.

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.

Garcia beats Matthysse any day 10 out of 10. Matthysse is not fast enough to give Danny problems which we all know speed can give Garcia a hard time. Garcia took all Matthysse had and beat him down. Actually broke his face so this talk about Garcia needs to give Matthysse a rematch is ludicrous because Matthysse needs to fight someone like Broner and win to get a bigger boost. There is no title at stake but beating Broner is equivalent considering Broner's mainstream appeal in the sport and throughout media. See what it did for Maidana. If any other fighter would have said this then a lot of you posters I have read posts from over the years would be saying he is a duck. Some of you are like little girl fans.

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*

*Credits roll*

I like this post. When you look at it this way it doesn't make sense for these guys to continue with these excuses as professional fighters. The promoters and advisers turned these warriors into pure business minded opportunists. Back in the day a fighter fought his way to the top and glory not picked and chose.

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.

Besides Broner calling him out on television, Matthysse has not heard anything regarding the fight.

The continued silence on facing Broner is no problem for Matthysse, who if more focused on winning a world title at 140-pounds. Matthysse, ranked in the number one position under the WBO and also holder of the WBC silver title, wants to get a title shot on a tentative return date of February 28th.

"Broner talked about [a fight with me] on the day that we fought on the same card [and there has been nothing since then]. He is not a defending champion...he has nothing...it would just be a fight where you are taking risks for nothing more than getting your hand raised as the winner," Matthysse said.

I would rather wait for a title shot before fighting Matthysse,” said Stafford of Matthysse, who, like Broner, is advised by Al Haymon. “Plus, Matthysse is with Al, so we’ve got plenty of time. Matthysse ain’t going nowhere, you know what I’m saying?”

Matthysse's general indifference towards a matchup nobody has any interest in making = him ducking doe.
