[soul_survivor]

matthysse vs provodkinov....

I think Prov would be the one willing to go to war and Matthysse would rather try and box him.

You live g8ving excuses , just like bradley.

Only difference is that Bradley gets torn muscles and has pics to prove his point. Well, come to think of it, I provide pics too, lol.

At least Danny didn't provide any excuses for his performance against Herrera (instead he said he won in dominating fashion, ) or for his choice to fight Salka instead of a legit challenger. I'll give him that, he did take it in stride and made sure to thank Hymen.

Garcia's fans are still ridiculously salty over a fight their guy won.

[Coachmanager]

I don't understand that hate against Mathysse.

I had the fight against García 113-113. In any case it was a close fight, but people write in forums about that like they are talking about Pacquiao vs Rios or Mayweather vs Canelo kind of one sided fight.

I would like to see a rematch.

[STREET CLEANER]

Garcia poked him in the eye just like he was constantly landing low punches all fight long that night.

So besides that what you are telling me is that Garcia didn't land any significant punches during the fight?

And lets not forget Lucas rabbit punches

[STREET CLEANER]

yup, a legitimate punch



lucas broner/provo needs to happen

Did it ever occur to you that the previous punches had his face tender already?

[No Tomorrow]

Good stuff. Hope he wins the WBO belt and hope he and DSG go at it again.

WBC & WBO Are Puke Organizations

So Matthysse theoretically could win a belt at 140, Garcia has one, Lamont has one. All three are managed by pimp Al Haymon and neither will be forced to fight each other. Al Haymon is bad for Boxing. He acclimated 120+ fighters under his authority and protects them from fighting one another. In the meantime there is no rhyme or reason to WBC or WBO's ranking of fighters. When Amir Khan announced he was moving to 147, WBC ranked him No.1 at '47 before he even fought tomato can, Collazo! Now they purposely rank Matthysse No.2 at 140, so he can collect a title, and Al Haymon can have three title holders there who he'll keep from fighting one another. This is what is disgusting in Boxing today, and it's not changing. Too many weak link options.

Matthysse's one of the proven best fighters at 140, with a 3 round destruction of a beltholder and a close lose to the lineal champion. There's nothing wrong with him being ranked #2 by any alphabet organization. He's earned that.
