HBO PPV: Saul "Canelo" Alvarez vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., Lucas M. Matthysse vs Emmanuel Taylor RBR

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.

 

Round 1: 10-9 Matthysse
Round 2: 10-9 Matthysse
Round 3: 10-8 Matthysse
Round 4: 10-9 Matthysse

40-35 Matthysse

 

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.

 

Well, that was weak. Going out with a real whimper.

 

Taylor is done

 

that boy was done.

 

R1 Matthysse 10-9
R2 Matthysse 10-9
R3 Matthysse 10-8
R4 Matthysse 10-9
TKO5 Matthysse

 

Maryland glass got shattered, Provo took like 500 of those shots.

 

Matthysse still to easy to hit.

 

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

 

Good KO from lucas, but still dont see him being a top fighter at 147

 

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.
