Lucas Matthysse looks for his next KO in showcase vs Postol

“Good luck to Matthysse, and I can’t wait for this fight”.

The loss forced fans and pundits to question Lucas Matthysse for the first time.

Since then, Matthysse has regrouped.

A native of Argentina, Matthysse is one fight removed from winning a rousing brawl in April against Ruslan Provodnikov in a fight-of-the-year candidate. They will fight for one of the belts Garcia vacated this summer when he moved up to welterweight. “It’s going to be a fun, action-packed fight”.

“This is a great opportunity for me”.

“My first goal is to win the world title”. That’s inspiration for me. I know it won’t be easy against Humberto Soto. I don’t see him being able to do as well as Provodnikov did against Matthysse because he doesn’t have the punching power to stand and trade with him.

Matthysse is one of the few who showed loyalty to Golden Boy with the mass exodus of Al Haymon fighters becoming free of promotional contracts and fighting on PBC.

De La Hoya also expressed how he feels if Matthysse indeed gets the bout with Pacquiao next year.

What are you most excited about entering Saturday’s fight?

The Garcia fight was supposed to be Lucas Matthysse’s official coronation. This is a crucial fight for the 33-year-old Lucas Matthysse, who must win and do so impressively.

“People will be interested in the fight, that’s for sure”, De La Hoya said.

Lucas Matthysse isn’t at fault for others overhyping him. Back in April, fight fans were treated to something a little different from the Argentinian slugger that they hadn’t witnessed before, when he faced off against Russian bull Ruslan Provodnikov. It makes total sense.

Immediately following the live doubleheader from Carson, HBO will premiere “Road To Golovkin/Lemieux”, a special previewing the upcoming middleweight unification bout between Gennady Golovkin and David Lemieux that will air live on HBO Pay-Per-View®.

Yes, definitely that fight has been the hardest of my career so far. It means a lot of money and glory. But if the Pacquiao fight comes, it comes.

My whole family are fighters.

Matthysse (34-3, 30KOs) is set to fight Ukraine’s undefeated Viktor Postol (27-0, 11KOs) on October. 3 at the StubHub Centre in California for the vacant WBC junior welterweight title. I’ve had this ability for a long time.

Marvin Somodio, assistant trainer for Freddie Roach, added “Freddie Roach is not here today so I’m still in charge”. He certainly has the physical advantages – he is 5-foot-11 and has a longer reach than the 5-6 Matthysse. “I have experience here”, Matthysse said. He can box inside and attack from the outside.

Manny Pacquiao has yet to pick an opponent in his comeback fight in 2016, but Top Rank Promotions boss Bob Arum has already presented possible foes for the Filipino boxer’s ring return. But I’m prepared to be both. All the big stars are here. Early in his career Antonio had a seven-fight knockout streak that stretched from February of 2012 to January of 2014. That’s probably because I do everything he says. “On Saturday night, we are not going to let Lucas win again”. “I learned I had to be patient against Garcia”, Matthysse said through an interpreter. “This fight is for her and I am proud to be wearing pink in the ring”. How close were you to being pushed to your limit in that fight? People should expect the same from me that they always see from me.
