The end of Lucas Matthysse?

[Tam Seddon]

Did he ever get big check?

He said he's not a millionaire so no.

That's to bad if he never got a big payday, he looked like such a killer for a while and was never in a bad fight, but never quite put everything together in his big chances. I'd still love to see him fight Maidana, even if its a battle of two guys who don't care about boxing anymore

[Spicoli]

Hate to see him go as he's always come off down to Earth and must see competitor. Really though it's oddly refreshing hearing a guy get in front of it and be straight instead of knowing it wasn't there before the bell and simply lending his scalp for coin. Theory is if he's talking about it, maybe its just a time off thing. Helluva battler!

He was a fighter that I kept expecting to make it to that next level but never did. Good fighter though and always exciting.

Had he beaten Garcia soundly, it would have been Matthysse against Mayweather instead of Maidana. That was the plan anyway

I wondered that, but why wasn't it Garcia vs Mayweather then?

[Fenster]

He was never the same after suffering the eye injury against Garcia. Think in every fight since you can hear the corner telling him his eye is fine, it clearly bothered him big time.

He might not have made millions but he seemed pretty content about raising his daughter and setting up his own gym.

What a puncher.
