    July 15th in Kuala Lumpur. WBA welterweight title on the line (1st defense of Matthysse).

    It was "postponed" from June 24th before even officially being announced (which is scheduled to happen in a press conference on April 11th).

    Both are severely diminished, going by their most recent form against Tewa Kiram and Jeffrey Horn respectively. Pacquiao is older and has more wear & tear, while Matthysse was hampered by eye injuries and inactivity - and both have been in wars. Both are big punchers, as well, and power's the last to go.

    I think it'll be a fun ride while it lasts.

    FYI this will be on a Sunday morning for those of us in the United States (early afternoon for UK & continental Europe). Malaysia is 12 hours ahead of EST, or GMT +7. So get your Bloody Mary ingredients together; we have a brunch date w/ Luke & Manny. :thumbsup:

    edit: they've actually decided to have this on in the morning local time in Kuala Lumpur so it can be televised live in the US on Saturday night, 7/14.

    Matthysse always went by la Maquina. Why'd you put the reptile? Are you referring to how he eats iguanas? Lol

    Wrong. His nickname only became The Machine a few years ago. Before that he was Cold Blooded/The Reptile.

    I'm torn on the victor, I'm not betting on this one.

    For some reason I think Matthysse KO's GrandPac into retirement. I can see any out come for this fight and I'm actually really excited to watch. This could be a classic imo

    Interesting, know a timeline? I've seen over a dozen of his fights and do not recall

    We're talking back in like 2011.

    It was maybe 2013 or 14 that he switched to "La Maquina", which I think is dumb and unoriginal so I've refused to acknowledge it ever since.

    Weird that's when I started following him, maybe I had the volume down or something.

    Lucas doesn't deserve to carry Pac's jock, let alone hold a W over him. I have to hope Manny has enough left to pound that right eye into hamburger and make the tattoo artist quit, or else cruise to a decision.

    A loss to Matthysse that much greater an indignity than a loss to Horn?

    I think Horn is much bigger and physical than Matthysse.
    My first thought is Pac by decision.

    Why heap insult onto insult?

    And, in Horn's defence, at least the Aussie gives the impression that he'd never quit with a fight hanging in the balance (though I realise that our mileage on the value of a never say die attitude may vary). The tattoo artist always gave the impression of a hollow bully, one of the most hilariously overrated and fetishized fighters of the last decade or so.

    Well, hopefully Lucas is paid just as well as Chino was for 1 of those Mayweather bouts. Should be good.

    That's my first thought as well but I think Matthysse can pull the upset KO.

    I can also see Pac getting his first stoppage in Years. It's interesting, both are coming to an end so I think someone is getting stopped
