Lucas Matthysse considered retirement but will return in 2016 at Welterweight

[Doctor_Tenma]

It can't be that difficult to cope with considering he fought a horrible fight. Just get a new trainer, start there.

DLH will probably match him up with a low-tier WW like Alfonso Gomez. If he can get through that, I would like to see Matts vs. Rios/Bradley/Orozco. I still want to see Matts vs. Herrera.

Good news for Broner, who wants nothing to do with la maquina

Bad move. 140 is the weight is his best weight class imo.

I think 2 things can be considered here.

1. Maybe moving up to 147 eases training camp, less focus on weight, more focus on sharpening skills.

2. Maybe you are right, he already got decked hard by DSG, Molina, and Postol. Moving up to fight bigger guys may be a mistake. Only thing he can do is try it out and see how it goes.

[R_Walken]

Not suprised to hear Matthysse talk about retirement you take a loss like that at this point in his career, that thought is bound to creep up.

Don't think going up to 147 is smart but there's some decent names for him in fights I'd be stoked about.

[Beercules]

He really does need a new head coach. JDJ perhaps?
Maybe Robert Garcia?

No one has the dimensions of Postol or fights like him at 147. If people think they can **** with Lucas and make him quit, they have another thing coming. Stylistically the fighters at 147 match up much better for Lucas.

matthysse coming back at 147 with that clinch style game.

[The Gambler1981]

His call and he can still make some pretty good money especially if they get him a couple wins to get back on the horse again, so I can see why he would fight on.

That said I think it is highly unlikely he really does anything, I think he is a spent force and nothing is changing that.
