Horn clearly lost to Pac, that fight was almost stopped! Horn has not skills, he just uses his head, wrestles, holds, low blows, etc., but most important he has no skills!
Good match up really. Both are coming off good wins. I think horn is more like a junior middleweight where as mathyse are closer to junior welterweight. Mathyse is a better skills fighter but I think Horn size, youth, chin and rugness will make it tough for mathyse to overcome. I favour Horn by a tough decision.
The result will depend on lucas betting against himself again or not. If he doesnt he will demolish horn. If does, well "my back, I broke my back, my spinal... or my eyes, or my..."
Lucas is shot, blind in one eye and battle weary, and his spirit has been broken due to boxing politics and the treatment he's been subjected to. But I'll always remain loyal to him and hate those that hate on him.
Arum is hoping Horn beats Lucas. White, speaks english, nice little story. Arum can thrown Crawford v. Horn on ESPN, break attendance records at Chesapeake Energy arena, and get Terrance a coveted WW title against a known and respected champ. Master plan is being set up beautifully.
Horn much bigger Horn pushes forward which works well for Lucas. Don't think Lucas at 147 has the physicality or gas tank for over 8 rounds. But if Horn hasn't got the toughness needed Matthysse will drop and stop him in them 8 rounds.
i dont think mathysse as a lot left in him. But maby he has enough to makeanother exiting fight out of this
If "La Machina" shows up with a body attack he wins. Even in the Postol fight, Lucas was getting the better of Postol, until he went strictly headhunter and it went downhill from there.
Matthysse will dominate early it just depends whether or not he gets Horn out of there, Horn is tough and Lucas fades and gets broken late on it fights. Lucas early or Horn late/decision. I'd probably go with Lucas but wouldn't be surprised either way.
