Comments Thread For: Matthysse Confident Provodnikov Won't Drop Him

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Lucas Matthysse has been down in two of his past three fights.

Danny Garcia dropped the Argentine knockout artist in the 11th round of their September 2013 fight in Las Vegas, which Garcia won by unanimous decision. In his next fight, John Molina floored Matthysse twice, in the second and fifth rounds, before Matthysse came back to win their 2014 Boxing Writers Association of America “Fight of the Year” by 11th-round knockout nearly a year ago in Carson, Calif.

Matthysse (36-3, 34 KOs, 1 NC) is confident Ruslan Provodnikov (24-3, 17 KOs) won’t have similar success against him Saturday night in Verona, N.Y., where they’ll clash in a highly anticipated, 12-round junior welterweight fight that’ll headline HBO’s split-site doubleheader from Turning Stone Resort Casino (9:45 p.m. ET/6:45 p.m. PT).

Nes asked him in the roundtable conference "Molina dropped you and Ruslan is a bigger puncher, if Ruslan drops you, will you be able to get up?", Lucas said "I will get up and I will finish the fight"

nes also sain on his show that ruslan never faced a puncher and got hurt to the body by algieri..i agree with both..nes also said, just like me, that lucas just got dropped by a big hooker, but adjusted for the win...i dont think a guy who think in the ring like mattysee is going to get hit with the same shot from a shorter slower opponent than the guy that he adjusted to. night night ruslan your face will be pizza and your body will be coke...u're not a monster u just dont fight big punchers

its going to be quite funny when the non-black, also non-white, but just light enough not to get hated on by the racist mfs, Lucas matthyssee keeps the distance and turns this into a boxing match, but no one calls him boring. BUT THEY'LL CONTINUE TO TELL US ITS NOT ABOUT RACE...MATTHYSSE WELL BE GOING IN ON EVERY OPENING RARELY LEADING, and none of these racist, hide it behind boxing, SOB's will have anything to say.

welcome to the day here getting hit more makes you the fan favorite, but when a man dies in a ring i cant troll his death right?? not saying i want to, but thats backward logic right??

I like going into fights hating one of the fighters so I can watch with the worst of intentions but in this one I can't side with one... so I want to see them both **** each other up horribly. However, it is more exciting when you watch someone you dislike get brutally battered. Can't wait for tonight.

Ha! He's getting stopped tonight, that's a fact.

All boring boxers get criticized (Vasquez? Abril? Klitschko?) but a boxer being boring in one fight is not the same as a boxer stinking the joint out almost every time he gets in the ring.

Besides which, Matthysse throws with huge power which is never boring to watch even off the backfoot. Feather-fisted movers are boring, that's why most people like watching punchers.
