LOL... I know it's easy to get carried away after seeing a performance like that, but it's not like the guy came out of nowhere. His power was being touted before he stepped into the ring, and he didn't disappoint. Matter of fact, he shocked everyone by how easily he dispatched Lamont. You ask has he ever faced a pure puncher. Who is out there right now who would present that type of danger to Matthysse? Garcia and Rios are hard punchers, but not necessarily the "lights out" punching threats that Lucas seems to be. Split decision, controversial losses to Judah and Alexander (in which they were both dropped) is hardly a damning thing to have on your resume, particularly considering that these may have been points on Lucas' learning curve. I'll say this... I don't think either Judah or Alexander see the 12th round against Lucas if they were to fight today.
I mean, I know boxing is a sport where one fight can either fill, or empty... a bandwagon faster than you can blink.But it's hard not to get excited about this guy for the time being.
And BTW, I'd love to see Matthysse fight Rios, just so he can rip him a new one.![]()
