Comments Thread For: Matthysse Prepares To Unleash 'The Machine' in Carson

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Thomas Gerbasi - He doesn’t speak English, but English speakers don’t care. He doesn’t possess the menace of (Carlos) Monzon or the suave of Sergio (Martinez), but it doesn’t matter to those who show up to watch him fight or make sure they’re in front of the television when he’s scheduled to perform.

There is no courting of the media, even though he is courteous in such situations, and no desire to leave his native Argentina, despite the fact that his last eight fights have been held in the United States.

On the surface, there is really no explaining the Lucas Martin Matthysse phenomenon, but it’s there, and on Saturday, it will be on display for all to see as he fights Stateside for the ninth consecutive time against unbeaten Ukrainian Viktor Postol at Carson, California’s StubHub Center.

The 31-year-old Postol, 27-0 with 11 knockouts, is nicknamed “The Iceman.” Matthysse goes by “La Maquina,” or “The Machine,” and if it sounds like a Hollywood action movie about to take place in southern California, it may very well be if Matthysse has his way. The Trelew product has ended 34 of his 37 wins by knockout, so action is what he craves on fight night, and if you are willing to engage, he will definitely hurt you and almost always get rid of you.

sorry, couldn't resist lol

I think Lucas is pretty handsome...

My wife thinks so too, and Sergio Martinez. She hates to see handsome guys fight.
She said hatton looked like a potato head, & Victor Ortiz a monkey.
Donair like a kid, and darchinian like a midget. Cotto like a gang ****er,
& canelo like 'not mexican' , she is not American and doesn't get how offensive her comments can be. I point it out, but because I laugh so much at what she says, she just keeps it going.

If she posted on this site, she would write the most ridiculous things.
But she knows boxing well for a woman who doesn't follow it regularly.

You and your wife are ignorants. In the north zone of Mexico there is a lot of white people, a lot of blonde people. In Jalisco , the state of Saul, is the same, a lot of white people of french and spanish descendants. Another example of Jalisco, Javier Hernandez:




And Canelo is the more handsome bóxer ha ha ha lol....
