Comments Thread For: Matthysse Wasn't Considering Retirement; Eye Not a Problem

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Speculation persisted during Lucas Matthysse's lengthy layoff that the knockout artist would retire. The longer he stayed away from boxing, the more people began believing that his knockout defeat to Viktor Postol would be the final time we'd see Matthysse in the ring. All along, Matthysse knew better. The former interim WBC super lightweight champion took an extended break, yet realized all along he would fight again.

Hope he does good. His last run.

Bring it Lucas

Pretty sure he talked about retiring on several occasions.

They layoff is bound to have hurt him. He's a decent boxer but he doesn't have fast hands and he needs to be razor sharp to pull off his style. I can't see him being sharp after 18 months out of the ring.

... I remember him contemplating retirement after the Garcia fight...

I have my doubts

[HURTFEELINGS]

He provided a great moment in Boxingsene history....The week leading up to the Garcia vs Matthysse and the following week. Quotes like "Matthysee by decapitation" to " ".

Just sounds like a whole bunch of rationalising and justification bull**** to me . . . .

[STREET CLEANER]

After the Garcia loss he was thinking of retirement which he had verbalized.
