Matthysse is deadly and one of my favorite fighters.
However, sometimes a good aggressive pressure fighter and smother a knockout artist like what Hatton did against Tzyu.
Then other times the aggressive pressure fighter gets knocked out like Barrios against Freitas.
I think Matthysse's power is absolutely overwhelming for other 140 lbers and he is a rarity for big punchers; he's a clever, patient boxer as well.
I'll pick Matthysse by late stoppage, but he's going to be in for a tough tough fight.

Matthysse doesn't need to hurt Peterson with one shot or keep him worried about his power, he may well end up BEING the pressure fighter himself imo. If the fight goes 12 I still don't see how Peterson actually does the more effective work or holds out longer.
