    THIS FIGHT IS PURE WANK MATERIAL,

    During a conference call in April of last year, junior welterweight [url]Lucas Matthysse [/url]said [url]he believed himself to be a better fighter than his 140-pound Argentine[/url] countryman [url]Marcos Maidana[/url], whom he called "ordinary."
    According to Golden Boy CEO [url]Richard Schaefer[/url], Matthysse (31-2, 29 knockouts) could yet get a chance to prove it.
    Matthysse scored his third straight knockout victory by stopping

    "What you saw with Lucas Matthysse and Humberto Soto was two, great action fighters. Lucas Matthysse is one of the hardest punchers in the sport," said Schaefer. "In fact, after the fight, we discussed with his team a fight with Marcos Maidana, who was in attendance as well."
    Schaefer said that Maidana (31-3, 28 KOs) must first get beyond a July 21 welterweight matchup with Keith Thurman (17-0, 16 KOs) of Clearwater, Fla., who will be after his seventh straight stoppage win.
    In Thurman, 23, Maidana will be facing a 147-pounder for the second consecutive time, having lost a one-sided decision to southpaw former junior welterweight titleholder [url]Devon Alexander[/url] in February.
    "That's all assuming Maidana can get by Keith Thurman, which is, by the way, no sure thing. Keith Thurman is very, very talented and he's one of those punchers as well. I think that his record speaks for itself, because he's extremely dangerous and he's been waiting for an opportunity. This fight is going to be another war and another toe-to-toe battle, and the outcome will be determined by sheer willpower," said Schaefer.
    "But assuming Maidana does get by Thurman, then the fight that everybody, of course, would love to see is the showdown between Marcos Maidana and Lucas Matthysse. This would be probably the biggest fight in Argentina based on what I've been told. I've already discussed it with Showtime. They would love to go to Argentina and cover that fight."
    Matthysse has lost disputed decisions to left-handed, slick-boxing former beltholders [url]Zab Judah[/url] (41-7, 28 KOs) and Alexander [url]Devon Alexander[/url] (22-1, 13 KOs) in November of 2010 and in June of last year.
    Maidana has also lost to technicians in ex-titleholder Andriy Kotelnik (31-4-1, 13 KOs) and former IBF and WBA beltholder [url]Amir Khan[/url] in February of 2009 and December of last year.
    Maidana and Matthysse share wins over former beltholder [url]DeMarcus Corley[/url]. Maidana faced in Corley in August of last year and Matthysse fought Corley in January.

    Corley lost a toe-toe battle with Maidana, rising from an eighth-round knockdown and even staggering the eventual winner at various points in their fight. Matthysse scored eight knockdowns on the way to an eighth-round knockout of Corley.
    Do their relative efforts against Corley and Alexander demonstrate that Matthysse is better than Maidana?
    "In essence, yes, I am better than him. It's very simple with Marcos. There's no doubt that he's a very big puncher. But his style of boxing is not classic. It's ordinary," ," said Matthysse, who turns 30 in September.
    "I am a more-complete fighter in my style of boxing than Marcos. I'm better at cutting off the angles, and I use the ring much more. I have more ring generalship."

    I agree with Matthysse; however, in boxing anything can happen. One good punch and he could be out. Not sure if i want to see this fight yet.

    How fighter A does against fighter B has no bearing on how he would do against fighter C. Doesn't make sense to even bring up Alexander, unless Matthysse fights him again at 147. Alexander seems more powerful at the weight and better able to take a punch. I would love to see Matthysse rematch him at 147.

    Showtime is usually leery to go down to Mexico, so they sure as hell aren't going to Argentina! Good fight though. Mathysse will destroy Maidana.
