Comments Thread For: Matthysse: I Wasn't Hurt, I Didn't Want To Go Blind

[St. Johns Gent]

Only he knows how he felt. But It looked more like discouragement from getting beaten up and out boxed.

could be, the fight is on HBO right now, just finished with the ko, at the end of the 7th round lucas pointed to that eye in the corner, i couldn't make what he was saying but it might have been something that was bothering him for a few rounds til Postol landed that perfect punch

Dang, Matthysse been reduced to a "bum hypejob" overnight! On that level any fighter can lose-win any given night..you can call him a hypejob, whatever but you cant take away that hes beaten some pretty good fighters and the fighters he did lose to werent bums at the time. Say what u want but id bet hed whoop most of yalls butts.

LOL the same posters that come on here calling other fighters quitters, hype jobs and crack jokes have turned to a new leaf because there war machine got broken down. Let's face it *****es Lucas has always had a problem with facing adversity, when times get a lil too 'umfff' he doesn't respond well. With Garcia it was 'my eye my eye my eye', yet after the fight he was contemplating retirement! Now it's 'my eye my eye my eye' let's be real this is a fight your bound to get bashed in the socket alas Eric Morales/Maidana the dude is nothing but a good clobber but could never could handle what he can dish out in return.

In retrospect, that massive clash of heads is probably what caused the initial fracture, and the right hand in the tenth landed right on it. Lucas got some **** luck it seems. I still think he needs a new corner though.

Headbutts happen all the time....Remember in Lucas vs Provo where Lucas hit Provo with a huge headbutt (caused a gash on Provo's face)....

If you can't deal with headbutts....don't fight boxing/mma...All fighters give them and receive them (accidentally) from time to time....

Nobody that this forum ever talks about is a "bum" if we are speaking honestly....Bums are the hundreds (if not thousands) of boxers with 19-9 records of something like that....

Anyone who is an above average fighter or more is not a "bum" by default....

Broner, Danny Garcia, Matthyse etc are all way above average fighters.....

So whats the prognosis of his eye?

I doubt anyone who called him a bum would survive even one round with him.

I agree man, good post.

It is even incorrect to refer to journeymen as bums.

You dont hear fighters talking like that.

Man... Lucas Bumtysse was my favorite boxer for a minute... But I always said he needed a good team behind him, a Robert Garcia or a Nacho behind him, he would be great! But man... He never has a plan B if everything else goes wrong... And for me to see him take a knew, not looking too hirt and not get up for the count dissapointed me greatly...
He didn't have a plan B, he didn't have the will or heart to win.... He gave a few good rounds but when he knew he couldn't win that fight he quit... His corner was disgraceful...
