Barrios out, Matthysse in!

[boxingbantz]

Morales vs Matthysse for the WBC title, apparently.

WAR!

[Tam Seddon]

What happened to barrios?

Think this will be a tough one for morales.

This would have had people saying the same things they were(myself included) about the Morales-Maidana fight before that happened. I think Morals clearly had more left then we thought before that but he had also looked a lot worse in a couple of prior fights, tough to imagine he will be able to keep fighting like that on memory alone. If he doesn't have another really good night considering his ring wear and against someone as dangerous as Matthysse he could still get beat up which I really don't want to see.

I don't mind Matthsse fighting for a world title despite two losses. In my eyes, he beat Judah and he beat Alexander. Would love to see Matthysse vs Khan but still think he'll pick Morales regardless of the result.

Not enough money in there to get Alexander. So they went to Matthsse.

Just shows money ain't everything. I'm sure most people would rather see Morales/Matthysse than Morales/Alexander.

Hope this is true -- this is a much, much better fight.

But lets see if the judges rob Matthyse again in favor of a bigger name.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

My brain is doing overtime right now... I bet Bradley will never fight Khan but fights Matthysse as soon as Matthysse beats Khan.

[Violent Demise]

Crolla. Barrios. Matthysse. Morales don't give a fuck. He'll fight anybody

[Tomato Can]

Heart!!

Matthysse is arguably better than Maidana. This will be a tall task for Morales. But, I'm sure he's going to give it his all. Should be an awesome fight.

Don't really disagree with that statement yet I would pick maidana if they ever meet up...actually why hasn't that fight been made yet, would be crazy.

So Matthyse is ok for a world title shot on the back of two losses, former champ Berto is not worthy on the back of 5 defences and loss in a fight of the year candidate?

Seems like you let your personal opinion of fighters cloud your judgement a lot.

Matthysse record should still list him as undefeated and he still is in my eyes (and many others).

He was robbed against Judah and them against Alexander in a fight he clearly won. 95% of people would agree with that.

No doubt you're going to reply with a long winded argument about how I'm wrong bla bla bla. Zzzzzzz. Some people say things in the heat of the moment and I'll be honest, put my hands up, and say maybe that was the case with my Andre Berto/IBF argument.

If he gets robbed vs Morales, and I was him, I'd never fight in America again.
