    Lucas Matthysse considered retirement but will return in 2016 at Welterweight

    Here's the interview, in Spanish but he basically said that he considered retirement but has gotten over it, he will now rest for the rest of the year and return next year at 147 where he believes good fights will be available. Oscar also apparently told him losses happen to the best and he needs to move on. Weirdly enough this is the first time I've seen Lucas not super depressed and gutted after a loss.

    Lucas Matthysse volvió a hablar para el programa Cerca del Ring luego de la dolorosa derrota del pasado 3 de octubre frente a Viktor Postol y asegura que, aunque al inicio quería abandonarlo todo, ahora está pensando en subir a la división welter.

    "Fue una pelea que pensaba que esperaba que sea buena", asegura Lucas para Cerca del Ring. "No se dio, pero bueno, ahora a descansar, arrancar el año que viene y ver qué pelea me ofrecen".

    Más que pensar en alguna revancha con Postol, Matthysse está pensando en subir de división, a la categoría welter.



    "Seguramente voy a estar subiendo de categoría", explica Lucas. "Antes de fin de año voy a volver al gimnasio para ponerme bien y después esperar alguna buena pelea que seguramente van a venir. Todavía no hablamos mucho con el equipo pero mi pensamiento es el de subir a los 66kg y probar ahí. Creo que todavía tengo ganas y quiero probar en esa categoría donde hay buenas peleas".

    Asegura también Lucas que ya habló con su promotor Óscar de la Hoya, y lejos de estar ******o por la renuncia de Matthysse en el combate, lo convenció de seguir adelante.

    "Después de la pelea ya quería abandonar todo pero Óscar de la Hoya y la gente de Golden Boy me dijeron que son peleas, que se gana y se pierde, y que hay que seguir, que estaban muy orgullosos, que descanse ahora y el año que viene vuelva con todo", asegura Lucas.

      As did Garcia apparently. We'll see how he looks in his next fight before making such massive statements.

                    The real machine seems to be Maidana.

                    Matthysse sounding more like an old vacuum cleaner with that retirement talk. Cause that sucks.
