By Cliff Rold - Anytime he steps in the ring, Argentina’s Lucas Matthysse is just one of those guys to clear the calendar for. He makes good fights. He makes good highlights.
More often than not, he makes guys go to sleep.
It isn’t always the case, especially against the better caliber of foes. Many thought he did enough to defeat Devon Alexander and Zab Judah; both those fights went the route. He came up short against Danny Garcia. He battled through punishing late surges from Ruslan Provodnikov earlier this year to hold for a points win.
Where does Viktor Postol fall on the quality scale? So far, he looks good but with career best wins over Hank Lundy and Selcuk Aydin, the jury is still out. This is the proving ground for the Ukrainian.
Both men are widely seen as among the ten best Jr. Welterweights in the game, with Matthysse as the leading contender to fill the historical throne left vacant by Danny Garcia. The winner will exit with the currently vacant WBC belt at 140 lbs. HBO appears to have a fine main event Saturday night (10:15 EST). [Click Here To Read More]
