    Yet people are questioning his chances vs Manny Pacquiao? :lol:

    Zab Judah? :patsch What a terrible loss to have on your resume if you're an "elite" fighter

    Matthysse punishes and stops The Pacman.

    I had him beating Judah and Alexander

    Now add in the pressure he was going into these fights :

    Zab Judah - in his first appearance on US soil, Put Judah down and on my card won won 116-111. Mathysse started slow but Judah won no more than 4 rounds.

    Devon Alexander - His second fight on US soil, put Alexander down and dominated. on my card won 117 - 109 (winning one round so easily had no choice but to score it 10-8)

    Now after getting robbed in the only fights to go the distance on foreign soil he has now scored 2 consecutive knockouts. 1 over 3 weight world champion Humberto Soto but also undefeated number one contender Ajose Olusegun

    in my eyes Lucas Mathysse - 32 - 0 (30 KO)

    There is no shame in losing to Judah. Hell, Robinson lot to Randy Turpin.

    Matthysse looks like a better fighter than he did against Judah or Alexander. Fighters lose and some are better for it. Lucas has gotten better.

    I was ringside for the Judah fight. Like many people press row, I had it 114-113 Matthysse. I had Lucas beating Alexander 96-94.

    That said, one thing about Lucas I think is getting overlooks is he learned a lot and has improved since then (I feel). He seems to have a greater sense of urgency when needed, and he finds his rhythm earlier.

    He has sick power and he can box a good deal, too. The man is a beast!

    I had him beating judah 114-113. Something like 96-93 over alexander as well.

    He's probably the best lww h2h right now. I'd still rank him behind marquez and garcia but it won't be long till he rules the division.

    had Judah winning
    had Alexander losing.

    the judah fight was no robbery in any way, shape, or form. close fight but Judah edged it.
