Article: Lucas Matthysse: Potential fights for 'The Machine'

531 Views 14 Replies 13 Participants Last post by  The Undefeated Gaul
Dubbed 'The Machine', Argentina's Lucas Matthysse sent out a statement of intent last night with a three round destruction of the usually durable IBF world titlist Lamont Peterson. After a cagey fist round whereby Peterson opted to box from range, Matthysse closed the gap in the second and dropped Peterson with a right to the body followed by a glancing left hook.

Peterson saw out the round but again found himself on the canvas in the third after a beautiful short left hook landed directly on his chin and had him struggling to rise. After being felled again seconds later, again from a glancing left hook referee Steve Smoger stepped inside to end the carnage and a new star was born.

The result has Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Shaefer excitingly labeling the Argentinian 'the new Manny Pacquaio' as his 140lb rivals Danny Garcia and Amir Khan watched on from ringside.

With an unofficial tournament by GBP supposedly resulting in a Matthysse v Garcia fight in September, fight fans are salivating from the lips as to numerous potential fights 'The Machine' could be involved in in the near future.

Good article man. I think he should target some of the names you mentioned at 140. Wins overGarcia and Khan would make his stock go through the roof and the demand for a mayweather fight would be very high and a fight he should go for, earn a payday and then if he loses, it doesn't matter because it's mayweather he can still beat some big names at 147 or drop back to 140. If he wins, well he's done it really.
