Lucas "The Machine" Matthysse VS Adrian "The Problem" Broner

[Spicoli]

I like Matthysse. I'll go with the accomplishment over yet to be fully realized promise and potential. Broner is really an inside-ish type fighter and he gets hit. Matthysse has dealt with fast hands and speed pretty well before and has only gotten better.

Let Broner steamroll Paulie and decide if hes going back to 135 as has been mentioned and Matthysse pull Garcias Fruit of the Looms up over his head first. If everything goes well, we'll see.This division is intense and its only getting better.

Broner very much picks his victims. What makes you think he'd dare to fight Matthysse?

Also, Broner gets hit pretty easily judging from the Ponce and Rees fights. That greatly favors Matthysse as it only takes one.

Broner is a lot of smoke and mirrors.

You know, Abner Mares TKO'd PDL and PDL won against Broner (in my opinion) That just shows how bizzare the 'boxing who can be who triangle' can get.

I don't know how hard Broner really hits, I know he has a very solid pop but I honestly think Lucas is a better mover than him simply because of Broner's wide stance. Broner is much faster with his hand speed but his defense leaves something to be desired. Also Lucas has been more active these last tweleve months and heck the boxing game is indeed all about practice after all.

someone asked earlier as to who could beat Lucas, I would have to same the same guy I'd believe who would win 10/10 fighting Broner, Miguel Vazquez.

Easiest hypothetical I've seen on this site.

Matthysse KOs him.

Look how many shots Gavin Rees landed clean on Broner. Too bad he isn't a puncher.

broner gives lucas some problems before lucas eventually catches him in the mid rounds. lights out for the trash talking egomaniac broner!!!

[Beanflicker]

If Broner goes into "boxer" mode, IMO he can get a decision. If he goes into "shoulder roll", inside fighting mode like he did against Rees, he's going to end up taking a beating IMO. Matthysse just has too much power to do that shit/

[IamInuit]

Well I'm in the minority here. People are making far to big a deal over the little success Rees had. Not only does Lucas fight nothing like Rees but he's slow motion in comparison where speed is concerned. Sure the speed surprised Broner a bit early but he knew Gavin could not hurt him and kind of played around.


And I disagree that Broner gets beat up if he fights behind the shoulder. Lucas is slow and has very little lateral movement to work off to get Broner moving sideways in order to capitalize on getting him off balance. Paulie has a better shot at doing that. Lucas does most of his best work in a 2 foot square kill box. Broner may not have Lucas type power but he still has ko power in both hands and his combination punching is some of the best out there. I don't think Lucas has the chin he is touted to have and I think it crumbles under Broners work rate.

Broner has said he's going back to 135 and the only reason I can see him doing this is to be mentioned in the record books beside Henry Armstrong as the only two men that have done it.
There is simply way to many fights for him at 140 and he's going to end up at welter anyway.

This fight could easily get made but first we need to see Garcia in with Lucas. Broner can get his fight at 135 and then bounce up for the winner. All 3 are GBP fighters.
