Lucas Matthysse vs Brandon Rios

[Boxfan83]

Good fight but i gotta go with Mathysse simply because of his superior speed and boxing skills, he can easily outpoint Rios if he uses his jab and gets off combination and move out of the way, plus I don't think Rios has enough punching power at 147 so I don't expect him to change the course of the fight by landing 1 big punch.

Superior speed, compared to whom? Alfredo Angulo? lol

Matthysse would beat his ass so bad, Rios is a come forward aggressive fighter with accumulation Ko's. Matthysse is a good boxer, he won several pan american tournaments and was 72-8 as an amateur. Matthysse moves, outboxes and outslugs him. Matthysse via corner stoppage or UD.

P.s everyone stop talking about the Molina KD's, Molina is really tall and throws it from an angle where it's difficult to see, Lucas said he was very sneaky and I'm sure Lundy and Bey would agree.

Matthysse really isn't a good boxer... Just because he boxes on occasions, doesn't make him a good boxer.
He fights at mid-range to get the most leverage out of his punches (his real attribute).
Matthysse and Alvarado are on the same level, boxing skill wise.

Rios has beaten some good boxers in the past; peterson, acosta.
Matthysse is not Abril, boxing skill wise.

After Provodnikov, Rios might have spoils.

Great fight. I think Matthysse takes it. Hopefully Lucas moves up to 147 after the Provo war.
