Comments Thread For: Matthysse Motivated, Giving Everything He Has in Training Camp

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Dangerous welterweight puncher Lucas Matthysse, 35 years old, is hoping that his third time will be the charm. Matthysse failed in his two previous attempts to capture a world title. In 2013, he lost a twelve round decision to then unified junior welterweight champion Danny Garcia. And in 2015, Matthysse was knocked out for the first time when he was lost to Viktor Postol - as they fought for the vacant WBC junior welterweight title.

Matthysse has never been a true, full world champion. The closest he got was when he held the WBC interim title.

And even if he wins this next fight he would still only get the WBA "regular" belt. Keith Thurman is the real WBA champion.

At least it's something for Matthysse. Winning a WBA Regular is better than Argentinian fans ditching him for Lil'G..

Right, Maxi?! Where you at, couz!?

i think you didn't understand my post. this is lucas third world title fight. just 3 world title fights for him with this one and he has fought a lot and there are so many belts out there is fucked up he didn't have many more chances.

i'm against interim belts, regular belts and all that shit, but with thurman fighting once a year i'm not against this one.

I get what you're saying.

But in addition to that...with how long Matthysse has been around he has never been a true world champion. Which is pretty surprising when you think about it.

I actually like those spots. They are lottery tickets to enforce the bigger fight. If you've got a promoter that can fork up those opportunities for his fighter then that's good. The Klitchko's never gave Loeffler any #1 ranked spots for Golovkin in the other ABCs... that's rather odd, as Golovkin has been a commodity for K2 for how many years? Doesn't make any sense. Loeffler and Lil'G all late in the game, GBP be like, "fugggg outta here, you'z amateur."

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Golden Boy has poorly managed Lucas

He should stuck with Haymon. I guarantee Haymon would have gotten him the 140lb IBF belt which Lipinets now holds
