Lucas Matthysse vs. Michael Dallas Jr.,- Saturday night fight/chat thread

[Spicoli]

Matthysse will make Dallas a bug on the windshield. Via splat.

[Violent Demise]

I'll be shocked if Dallas sees the 3rd round

I have ringside seats for this event.

I'm flying to Las Vegas on Friday for a mini-vacation.

Matthysse is the favorite, and this match was chosen while they wait Garcia out. That said, Dallas could easily play the role of spoiler.

I don't know about easily, but yeah, it's not out of the realm of possibility that Dallas could steal a decision. Matthysse however, is at the top of his game right now, and I believe he's on a different level, Lucas by 10th round TKO after giving MDJ a beating.

Is it me or does Matthysse likes fighting boxers, e.g. Judah, Alexander, now Dallas, as opposed to sluggers or swarmers?

I can understand the draw of setting ringside, but I like relaxing in front of the TV. Have fun!

Matthysse by KO after 5th.

I reckon nothing compares to seeing fights live @ ringside, but I just don't care much for crowds at sporting events. Give me my leather recliner, big screen HD TV, my computer & a fight thread at Saddos, a couple of cold brews, and i'm good to go.

Ditto. I watched Leonard/Hearns 1 in the closed circuit days at a hockey stadium and that was ok but during Tysons run I gave the bars a go largely because I was sick of paying 60 bucks for a minute or two of brutality. I grew out of that right quick. I will never go to a sports bar to watch a fight again.

I havn't been to a Sports Bar in over 20 + years, and when I went, i'd usually end up getting shitfaced and spending more on drinks/beer/food then I would have if i'd stayed home and bought the PPV.

Even with the crowds I hate at live events, if I could get good seats, I'd still like to see a great boxing card, in Vegas et al, a time or 2 before I check out. Part of the fun is seeing the celebs and famous fighters who show up.

BTW, I went to see Leonard vs. Duran I, on closed circuit at a theater in Houston, Texas (1980) - the quality was fucking horrible, I couldn't even see most of the punches landing, or tell who was winning until the decision was announced.
