    Always thought that dude was garbage. He only appeals to a certain set of fans and was never, ever in Julian Jackson's category, only to a small set of idiots.

    Mathysse and David Lemieux are pretty much the same person.

          I’ve always like Matthysse. This was a guy who, 7 years prior, was seen as this feared, devastating KO artist and the second coming to Julian Jackson at the time. He didn’t live up to his full potential and since his losses to Garcia and Postol he just wasn’t the same fighter anymore. He was really unfortunate to have been in the ring with another fighter who just happens to be an ATG legend with some fight left in him. It was pitiful to see him look helpless and not fight the same aggressive style he’s known for.
          I hope Matthysse retires for good. He’s had a good career and will always remember him for his exciting style and good fights.
          I've always thought Matthysse was way over rated on NSB because he could punch really hard. He always seemed to lose the big fights and didn't seem to be able to win if he didn't win by KO.

          I only saw the highlights but from everything I read he looked really pitiful. I can see you are a huge fan so I will just say hopefully he gets a chance for a retirement fight where he looks good so his fans like you can have closure.

            Not going to lie, i got sold on that hype. Especially when i saw the way he destroyed Ajose and Pederson. I actually thought Danny Garcia looked shooked whilst the camera was on him that night. But he handled Matthyse like a pro, did what he had to do and got the win, the excuses from fans on here after that really did put me off Matthyse.

              I love Matthysse but he's a choke artist.

                He took Manny's shots terribly. I think his chin was cracked open somewhere over the course of those very rough fights with Danny Garcia and then Ruslan Provodnikov, and it's clearly just gotten worse and worse through Postol and now Manny's torn through it too.

                I hope he and Manny both retire. Manny can rematch Horn I suppose but this win doesn't mean he should fight the top guys at 147 imho.
