The Alexander fight was not close at all, Mattysse completely dominated Alexander, you haven't seen the fight if you think it was close
Very dangerous for Khan imo, Mattysee is arguably undefeated, is a textbook defensively sound pressure fighter who carries his power late. Much more dangerous than Maidana
This is why I would like to see him take it. His stock and respect has dropped considerably since the Peterson loss, and I feel that if he was to take on someone like Matthysse next and beat him, then he’d win back a lot of support. I regard him to be a better boxer than Maidana, but style-wise, I think he’d be less problematic for Khan. Matthysse’s a little more patient and tends to pick his shots with less urgency than Maidana and other pressure fighters. Khan may just be given enough breathing space to box more and survive the full 12. Don't see it taking place, though. Which is a shame.
I think Matthysse is the best 140lber in the world. Technically sound, resilient, hard hitting. He's a very good fighter who has been treated unfairly in the past.
Well im flattered you felt the need to stalk my posts but yes Ward is ducking Bute at this time in present as he publicly said that Bute needed to fight A+ guys . . . . whilst Ward goes onto fight the likes of Anthony Dirrell :roll: I appreciate ward as a very technically sound boxer but he also fouls regulary and clinches way too often, now as a boxing fan do i really want to see that? no i dont. But this thread is about Mathysse Bradley, not Andre Ward. so lets keep it in context shall we?
Lucas couldn't finish off Judah or Devon, he's not going to finish off Bradley either. Bradley wins a clear UD.
Bradley isnt exactly Mike Tyson either, Mathysse dropped Alexander and even dominated 1 round so badly i had to score it a 10-8. Bradley couldnt drop Alexander and needed to headbutt him. Like I said Mathysse is probably the most avoided man in the 140 division
