Who is Matthysse fighting possibly for the WBO title on February 28th? Adrien Broner?

    "About Coupons" Broner better get it together. He has heart if he does face Lucas, showed heart in the Maidana fight, but if the Maidana experience hasn't humbled him, Lucas will.

    His chances might be better against Matthysse than with Maidana. I can't imagine Matthysse bum rushing him, he'll try to box more. That'll give Broner some breathing room. But Matthysse is not a bad boxer, he will land on Broner since his defense has holes.

    Look Broner is a Dck head outside the ring but inside he is still fun to watch.
    He took some abuse from Maidana but he never gave up and he finished the fight. I don't think The Machine can KO AB.
    I would laugh if he did get KTFO but Broner showed he can take some abuse and roll around then back on his feet

    This is the fight that SHOULD happen but Lucas will get a soft touch, as will Broner on March 7th

    Thank you Al Haymon for these awesome matchups.

    Assuming the WBO holds to their rankings, it would have to be the top 2 in the rankings which are Algieri and Matthyssee.
    Its doubtful Algieri would be ready. Provodnikov is #3. Given that Top Rank only had 1 option on him which was the Algieri fight, I think he is free to fight anyone at this point.
    I have no idea who Jason Pagara is, but, he is #4. Given the level of Haymon matchmaking it wouldn't be a shock to see them petition for him to get the shot.
