I'd take Broner over Matthysse. He's been severely underrated since being anally raped with no **** by Maidana. I think he beats Matthysse.
The only reason they are taking this fight was because of how Matthysse looked against Molina. Matthysse is better off fighting Rod Salka because Broner is ****.
Good match up, very risky fight but iguess Broner has to win a big fight to be taken serious after losing the 0
Yup. Broner got raped by a guy who came into the ring at 165+ in his first fight at Welterweight. Coming up from 35 to 47. I think he'll be alright at 140. Matthysse doesnt fight like Maidana. Matthysse is a boxer-puncher, not a swarmer. Also, Broner has a pretty good inside game, and should have good power at 140. I wouldn't be surprised if Matthysse KO'd him, but I wouldn't be surprised if Broner outboxed him either. Lucas is not a better boxer than Broner.
maybe so and I say maybe because Matthysse has power at 140, we dont know how he'd fair at 147. but he isnt as active. and isnt as big. Watch the Broner-Maidana fight when Chino slowed down and wasn't bullying Broner on the ropes. Broner did good work in the center of the ring. Broner's chin isn't suspect in my opinion. Taking flush shots from a big 147 fighter, who came into the ring 165 pounds in your first fight at Welterweight, your bound to go down and get hurt.
Outside of Peterson. Matthysse has looked averaged since he stepped up in comp. Same with Broner. Matthysse looked averaged against Judah and Danny and Devon. We'll see though. Like I said, I wouldn't be surprised if he KO'd Broner, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was reciprocated either.
Broner went down from two heavy bombs from a big WW who came in at 165. Which was Broner's first fight after jumping from 35 to 47. Matthysse went down from a chin grazer from Molina. Broner lands Flush on him a couple of times, and it might be night night.
