So all is good up until he fights Danny who he according to Angel Garcia knocked deaf for 2 weeks (fact) and DSG hasn't looked remotely the same since (fact). So lucas hasn't had power since Danny when since his precious PED's have been taken away right? RIght
@TheLukieBaby ? Any receipts? How about him making Molina bleed out the side of his ear n dome? Or maybe where he went into an all out war with Ruslan and didn't get dropped? Because what fights has he had besides that? Ruslan has no power word? Who ever thought LM was a master boxer? Who thought he was more than an all exciting 1-2 come forward swarmer with devastating hooks? Al Schaefer? He ain't in this convo. LM drops everyone he fights except for Swift which was a war so what are you saying breh?
@Newzz @ChocolateGiddyUp We've had this conversation before but y'all biggin it up because Lukie's a part of it :ehhh: PED's until you've gotten caught you technically haven't used em, so where are the receipts?
Matthysse is a puncher, he will always hit hard, but he has not shown since Peterson one punch explosive power, he now is more of a guy who beats fighters down takes them to hell and beats on them to a decision or an accumulation stoppage. In my opinion, both Danny and Matthysse left a lot in the ring after that fight and neither have looked good.
As for Molina that is what your suppose to do, Molina was a hand selected opponent for Matthysse to get a knockout or devastating win on a card that was supposed to be all showcases. The fact that Molina dropped him twice was eye opening since Molina has three punches pawing jab, overhand right and left hook. Matthysse did what was needed, but ask any matchmaker if that was suppose to happen, no! Matthysse got the W, beat on Molina, but also got into a fight of the year when he was suppose to get 6-8 rounds of work and look like the monster he had been built up to be. The problem was he looked more human than ever.
Ruslan is a guy who breaks people at the highest level, not a one punch knockout guy. He got two flash knockdowns on Algieri, but outside of that the Alvarado knockdowns were more of a slow steady pressure put upon him. Matthysse has had three fights since a John Molina fight in which he was dropped twice and rallied back, a fight you probably don't remember against Roberto Garcia on a Broner undercard and fight with Ruslan in probably Ruslan's last career fight in which he stood in the pocket and traded with Ruslan for the last half of the fight knocking more years of his career. So now we applaud people for having dumb game plans and not getting dropped, rather than looking at sort of the obvious, a slow and steady decline for a guy as you said "isn't a master boxer".
Actually Matthysse isn't just a 1-2 machine, he does do subtle things, but oddly - sort of like Danny in a way. For example, he likes to throw rights to the body to step up a check left hook or turning his opponent into his power hand with ugly, but sneaky and effective footwork. Matthysse's greatest strength is that he doesn't make boxing look good and he seems like he isn't good when you watch him, but he knows what he is doing and very awkward and for about a year or so seemed to have legit one punch power. That is what scared everyone, an awkward guy with some ability to box and one punch KO power.
As for the PEDs can you explain the weight fluxuation, people in Matthysse's camp talking about how his power changed during the course of camp as well as body fat percentage despite changing much in training as they trained side by side to emulate others styles, his inability to drop Ruslan after VADA testing in camp (don't give me he hurt him, because Bradley hurt Ruslan) or the fact that he took a known PED that oxidizes muscles and allows higher output prior to Dallas Jr. fight
As for "he drops every fighter he has faced" that is my point who has he faced? Eric Gomez is a great matchmaker since he built a fighter the right way and the booking has you a bit fooled, because he was created the way you develop boxers into stars.
I think the big question is as fans that we are, we are allowed to ask questions and have inquiry around Matthysse seemingly looking different or more dominant in course of two years that created his career resurgence.
......and people still wanna deny matthyse took something out of danny that night. any surprise danny aint looked the same since
,they just have chins to take it.
......seriously, what kind of response are you expecting?.....nobody from #matthysemafia is claiming lucas is some pound 4 pound king. we know he's had his share of disappointments. but nevertheless, prov and peterson>>>>AB's resume. and you know it yourself. I don't understand....are you referring to the PED allegations?....if so, that's even cornier. lucas has already taken part in random testing, including his very last fight in which he left prov pissing straight black. does that sound like a man who lost power?....is this really the route you're taking now?.....accusing a fighter of taking ped's for no reason except that he rehydrated 20 lbs in one fight vs mike dallas jr?......aint nobody gonna give it a serious response cause it don't deserve one. it's clown shyt. if we tell you matthyse took random testing, you'll just say "b b but he lost power".....yea tell that to provodnikov who prolly couldn't walk right for weeks. or danny who's mouthpiece got sent into the 10th row. the shyt's not even good trollin, it's just weak. somebody refuses random testing. he's dirty. a fighter agrees to it, passes, and you still find a way to call him dirty. like I said....corny.
