    Is there a better demonstration of how good boxing is when you see a round pan out the way that third did there?

    Taylor comes out, clash of heads, Taylor starts putting combinations together putting a bit more weight behind his punches and gaining a little confidence, Matthysse lands a straight right-hand right down the pike and lays him out. All the hard work and good combinations undone. Brilliant.

    R1 Matthysse 10-9
    R2 Matthysse 10-9
    R3 Matthysse 10-8
    R4 Matthysse 10-9

    Strong performance by Matthysee so far. Power difference too much for Taylor.

    Taylor fighting not to lose instead of trying to win. It looks like he has a sparring partner mentality here.

    Anyways I have Lucas winning every round.

    Last time I saw Taylor, he was giving Broner a good fight. What happened?

    Nevermind, I forgot Broner isn't that good.

    Matthysse is dominating and looks to still have something left, especially at 147 pounds.

    Pfff lucas celebrating that he won. He should be ashamed of having fought that fight. What a missmatch.

    Matthysse needs another tune up to adjust to the weight and shake some more rust off. Plenty of power, but he was looking slower than normal. Good to see him back in the ring, though.
