Revisionist history in boxing is something else

Right now Ajose is a beast cuz he took Matthysses punches hes top 5 at 140...Peterson was a roided up animal Matthysse easily dispatched....Garcia is slow with wide punches he stands no chance

Mark my words soon as Lucas loses it'll be he already lost to Judah N Alexander....Ajose was a nobody African scrub, Peterson ain't shyt without roids, he was jus GBP hype all along

Boxing gotta love it

Khan has A class skill and a C- chin.


If he almost got dropped by a Julio Diaz.....Floyd will put Khan to sleep

I think We're gonna see Mayweather vs Danny Garcia for September.

Here's my theory:

Danny Garcia: Ring Magazine, WBC, WBA Jr Welterweight champion, Undefeated, Golden Boy Fighter.

After the Matthyssee vs Peterson fight, Hopkins went on record saying he wouldn't suggest putting Danny in with Matthysse. But Matthysse on the other hands can wait till say....December to fight Amir Khan who won't fight or train in the Summer due to Ramadan.

Garcia can go up to 147, fight Floyd in a big money fight, lose, still go back to 140 with all the belts in tact, and he has his choice of the winner between Khan and Matthysse. Also, think about his father vs Floyd Sr. That in itself is quality entertainment.

It's a win/win for Garcia, and also makes a lot of sense why Matthysse vs Peterson was a "141 catchweight" and Matthysse can maintain "interim champion" status while Garcia is off facing Mayweather he can face Khan, winner fights Danny in the Spring of 2014.

Lem's latest: Smoger on Matthysse's KO of Peterson | RingTV

Referee Steve Smoger is known for almost never stopping fights on his own, often allowing bouts to be contested to their violent conclusion either by the fighters' fists, their corners' decision or that of the ringside doctors.

On Saturday night, however, hammer-fisted junior welterweight contender Lucas Matthysse (34-2, 32 knockouts) pounded IBF titleholder Lamont Peterson (31-2-1, 16 KOs) emphatically enough that even Smoger was convinced to call a halt to the bout at 2:14 of the third and final round.

THE RING's No. 1-rated 140 pounder scored a knockdown in the second round and two more in the third of his 141-pound catchweight bout against Peterson, who was stopped for the first time in his career.

Matthysse earned his sixth consecutive stoppage win since losing to current IBF welterweight titleholder Devon Alexander by disputed split-decision in a 10-round junior welterweight bout in June of 2011.

In defeat, Peterson, 29, lost for the first time since falling by unanimous decision to current WBO 147-pound beltholder Tim Bradley as a junior welterweight in December of 2009, ending a run of 4-0-1, with three knockout wins.

Smoger, who was inducted into Pennsylvania's Hall of Fame on Sunday, shared his thoughts below on the performance of Matthysse, 30, who positioned himself for a fight against unbeaten RING, WBA and WBC champion Danny Garcia on Sept. 7 potentially at The Verizon Center in Washington, D.C.

Steve Smoger on Matthysse's chin and punching power:

"I have been blessed to have been in with some very signficant 140-pounders. Amir Khan when he was very good at 140, Paulie Malignaggi when he was at 140. Zab Judah and Danny Garcia. Devon Alexander when he was at 140. Even Marcos Maidana when he was at 140. And by far, Matthysse is the hardest puncher at 140 that I've ever been in with.

"So, he has two great attributes of a class A, top-level fighter. He has can dish out the punishment, and he can take it. In fact, at one point, Matthysse showed that he had a marvelous chin, because Lamont caught him flush, and he just shrugged it off.

On the first and second round:

"The first round was a feel-out round. Round two, that was when he got dropped. Lucas caught Lamont with a forehead shot in the second round that really, really hurt him.

"That dropped him in the second round, but he got up and he collected himself, and he finished the round, but in a very, very defensive posture."

On the third round and the stoppage:

"Now, we come in for the third round, and I give all credit to Lamont. He tried to stand his ground and to go toe-to-toe with Lucas Matthysse. Lamont wanted to exchange. He tried to establish himself. Lamont stood in the pocket, and they rattled each other. But in my opinion, Lamont really never fully recovered from that shot. That second-round shot."

"But late in the round, they exchange magnificent left hooks. Matthysse's hook landed right on the button, and Lamont dropped like he had been shot. So Lamont begins to get up, but then, the most tell tale sign to a referee is that -- what does he do ? He falls over. I could have stopped it then.

"But, you know, I study my fighters. Lamont had done very well getting up from a knockdown against Amir Khan. And he did very well with Kendall ****. Even though Kendall is in the twilight of his career, he still is a very, very big puncher, and Lamont had handled that. He got up by the count of eight.

"But I could still see that he was still dazed. He was responsive. Lamont walked to me, so when I saw that, I determined that he still had his motor skills. But after the next time, I knew that he hadn't. So I felt that beyond that, if I would have allowed the fight to continue, I would expose him to 'El Explosivo.' So I had made that formulation at the end of the second round."

On the conversation he had with Peterson after the second knockdown:

"Okay, I said, 'Lamont?' And he said, 'I'm good, I'm good.' So I said, 'Step to me, now. Step to me.' That's all I said. I said, 'Lamont?' And he said, 'I'm good, I'm good.' So then, he walked to me.

"I then formulated, because he's a world champion and his prior history, that I would let him come out and continue. But I decided that at the sign of the first significant shot, that I'm stopping it."

Peterson is a bum.


Garcia beats Matthysse he should get full credit.


Having Khan/Judah/Matthysse on your resume aint nothing to just overlook.....

 

[Skip b]

Khan has A class skill and a C- chin.


If he almost got dropped by a Julio Diaz.....Floyd will put Khan to sleep

Khan has zero fukking skill, his skill was his speed which has greatly regressed watching his lat fight, you call skill throwing wild lunging shots without setting them up with his chin in the air, no type of foot work, him being long as fukk and having a decent jab but refusing to box, he cant hold for shyt, no power, amatuer slapping punching style, no backup plan, no recovery skills, questionable stamina.

I could go on and on, Khan aint shyt, which is why GB is picking lightweights for his opponents, same shiut they doing with Canelo

That sounds like the plan

 

[ChocolateGiddyUp]

fixed for truth...

Eddie Chambers is fighting at Cruiserweight on NBC August 3rd against some African dude......dude goin out like Chris Byrd

You got the foreign fighter knowledge on lock round here so I believe you

However if say Judah or Alvarado or Peterson had beat Ajose in 9 rds or whatever it was....you think people would be hyping up that W like they did for Matthysse or would it be looked at like Guerrero Aydin which was the same exact scenerio??

My guess is AJose would be called a bum

I think this also........................................



If the tournament was official it'll be official, they trying to build a Mayweather Pacquiao scenario with them 2, Garcia ducking, Garcia scared, etc, which Schaeffer lightweight let it be known for Matthysse, he gonna be the Pacquiao the loved fighter, ko'ing overmatched opponents for the time being while Danny continues to build heal heat. IMO it makes no sense for Garcia and Matthysse to fight now, when a year from now that could be a PPV fight............Think People Mayweather is retiring why kill one of their stars

I wonder where Alexander and Khan comes into this equation, GB looks like they wanted the Alexander fight for Khan to get a easy strap at 147 but after Saturday with Alexanders improvement, Khan dont want those type of problems at all, and the look on his face stated that

 

[surv2syn]

so its a knock against him he's only gone the distance 3 times in his career to date? ...1-2 and those 2 were close...come on breh that's not a reasonable argument..3 fights that went the distance is not enough fights to think if a fighter has it in him to win decisions

whats in bold. I just go by facts. I cant say anything for sure until proven otherwise. You said it yourself. he is 1-2 when going the distance.
