Lucas vs Provo/Algieri 28/2?

[Accountoffline]

Just read The Machine maybe facing either for vacant WBO belt before moving to 147...

Either way he beats both, but annihilates Algieri.

Probably a better fight in Provo who is also a full WW that can switch between weights.

If this happens... I may just leave stains in my pants... white stains.

Hopefully one of the two bouts happens, not holding my breath though.

Algieri shouldn't have been stripped... I'd rather watch Lucas fighting Broner, to be honest...

Remember Andrade and th wbo? Same will happen with Crawford when he moves up

You think Lucas gets frozen out? because I can't tell you how much I'd love to see a Crawford-Matthysse fight.

I think id be pretty happy with either. Prvo fight would be way more exciting though! !!

I do.
Crawford, by the WBO's rule, will get a high ranking if he moves up and since Algieri was stripped and put back as number 1....I think it happens.

Matts might hope for it, but I don't see it happening.

Provo/Matts would be brutal, but Algieri going back to rankings and Crawford moving up pushes them both down

Yeah, you're probably right and it's annoying af.

Haymon has just wasted a full year out of one of Matthysse's last as a fighter, and it seems like he's about to do it again.

I really wonder what he'll do this year.... dunno if he even gets to fight for a title.

Most likely won't be rematches with Garcia or Peterson.
Most likely won't fight Vargas or for the WBO title.

I think the only shot he has is if he, for some reason, gets Mayweather, or somehow gets a trip to England to fight Brook.

Could have definitely fought again this year after that quick fight with Ortiz....pretty bad year for him

Since Matts isn't a top priority, he'll be sacrificed. I can see him being matched against Thurman in one of his first fights at 147.
