Lucas Matthysse Clears Up Unofficial Weight Rumors, Touches on Brandon Rios Sparring

[Chappy112]

Tha Boxing Voice are great, they asked him about the weight because it caused a lot of talk.

You can see the interview here, Matthysse on webcam in Argentina.

[Greco]

A fight with Rios would be an absolute war.

[renyo]

man.. Matthysse vs Rios would be an instant classic..

[FilipMNE]

only clueless haters believed he was 163...

[Heavy Handed]

Good stuff from Lucas. I love this approach to the game right now. He understands that he just needs to keep winning impressively to continue that momentum towards a big fight. It will come this year IMO.

Man, those words alone...

I hope it really does get made.

"I think I got the better of him" You would expect to hear him say I got the better of him not I think!

Rule #1 when you are on this level on your way up and may potentially face someone your sparring with you never show him all of your cards.

Common sense really. He looked fairly the same as he has every other time, and every other time he has hovered around the 153 mark.

@ the typical ESB retards talking shit about him for it though.

I would expect them both to say they got the better of eachother. You are clearly bored and nitpicking semantics.

[Bogotazo]

Makes a lot more sense.

A fight with Rios would be great.

[The Funny Man 7]

Does anyone know who promotes Mike Alvarado? Is he officially linked exclusively with Top Rank? If so that's a damn shame, because win or lose the Bam Bam rematch he would be a great measuring stick for Lucas.

So all he says is "No, I didn't weigh 163" and everyone just believes. Hilarious. Some of you very mongs have accused JMM of steroids, Mayweather of all types of shit and don't believe one word that comes out of their mouths in protest.

Clear like glass.

So we take his word over the scales on this? I don't know, nor do I care, how much he weighed EVERYONE in boxing lies.

Just 'seen' that Matthysse/Dallas sold a little over 1K in tickets. Look for GBP to do another 'Mares scam' on the public on why this fight doesn't get made. Bam Bam sells tickets and TR would be in the drivers seat again.

[jeffjoiner]

I was thinking the 163 was a typo. Normally, I would question what comes out of a fighter's interview, but in this case it makes sense as 153 is already a little higher than normal.

Clear like glass.

You think he gained TWENTY THREE pounds in one day, 10 more than he gained in his previous bout? Who is the Mong, again? Did you actually watch the fight? There is no way he was 163 in there, FFS.
