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

[beenKOed]

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

The most accurate prediction!

[Spicoli]

I'm cheering for Dallas but am also a realist.

You don't get any higher than motivation of family and Dallas has all that for his ol' man. No doubt he'll give all he can

Holyshit...Jackie Kallen Now thats going back

Lol I hate those hindsight is 20/20 moments. I was in denial and refused to believe that Mike's chin was as glass as people said it was. I'm now convinced that the young man could very well be ko'd by a rogue ham and cheese thrown from ring side.

Hey its no worse than when I picked Manfredo to beat Sakio Bika. If it makes any difference I think even if Dallas had a decent chin or one made of Ritz crackers it wouldn't have mattered. Poor kid went from the YMCA shallow end to the Pacific blue tonight.

I can't believe Dallas had a column I yesterday's Vegas paper. He was a completey overmatched shot in the dark

I wasn't expecting the KO to come so quickly.

Nice to see Matthysse raising his profile with such a spectacular performance. We'll see him back on Showtime soon.

Good win, but I think a knockout like that makes you doubt somewhat in terms of skillsets. Basically we didn't see anything beyond a hard knockout punch. Dallas is nobody special and so that detracts from the significance.

Mattysse is a very good fighter, but they are trying to hype on quick KO's more than anything meaningful showed in terms of skill, that would be effective against the best in the division.

I think he is great fun, but I am easy on the hype.

[TitoFan]

Total disagreement. When you have an inferior opponent in front of you, it's almost expected that you score an early KO. Letting one hang around for 12 rounds can take away some of your luster. Lucas isn't solely a 1-round KO wonder. He has 10-round and an 8-round TKO victories on his record, as well as a couple of grueling, disputed split decision losses, in which the victor was knocked down at least once in each of the fights. These are the only blemishes on his record.

Matthysse is the real deal.

Same. I mean I had dark thoughts about him getting blasted but not that quick. I was hoping for a miraculous upset even though I was holding the short straw. He was actually doing ok before Lucas hit the light.
