Matthysse is always nice to watch. Dude laid a beating on Ajose at the end.

Olusegun is stopped in the 10th though it looked like he could have continued. Olusegun was outgunned but he made me a fan of his.

And Olusegun is down and out. What a tough bastard he is, Lucas gave him the heavy bag treatment

what a battle!!

Very impressed with Matthysse, saw alot of Ajose when he fought in England but have to say Matt. hammered him tonight.
great fight though.

Matthysse.

im going to have concede and say that matthyesse is absolute quailty... ward has struggled in round 2 dawson using the jab well.... ward feet are lighting getting him inside and out of trouble....

Here is the ending sequence of matthysse vs Olusegun, pretty brutal stuff:

If you haven't watch this one, you missed a good fight!

I remember seeing him when he turned pro, thinking he could be special. Now he's 31 and lost his last fight to Carson Jones. Sorry, I know none of that has to do with this card.

Cunningham won a decision.

It was in the Judah fight, when Zab nailed Matthysse with his absolute heaviest artillery and Mathysse just smiled menacingly at him. That is when I knew that Lucas was something formidable.

Nobody wants any of Matthysse.

Now that he's managed to start more quickly Matthysse is an absolute beast for anyone who faces him. If Garcia wins the rematch against Morales he's gonna have a full plate with Lucas, and Peterson could slam PEDs like prime Schwarzeneggar and it not help him against Matthysse.

The beauty of Matthysse as well is he's such a physical brute that I think he could do some real damage at 147 as well.

I don't even want to think about Matthysse-Khan.

Khan would create new dance moves for the next ten summers in that one fight.

I know he doesn't deserve it, but I'd watch Matthysse-Guzman just to get the pleasure of seeing Guzman absolutely pounded. He thought Funeka at lightweight (during the fight Guzman made the weight, that is) was bad? He ain't seen nothin' yet.

Going back to Mark Johnson, he DEFINITELY deserves the HOF. He was ranked in the top ten Pound for Pound in the world while he was in action. Ring Magazine called him the best flyweight of the 90's and the ONLY reason he didn't get the marquee bouts was because the marquee boxers (Tapia, Romero, Carbajal, Arbachkov) of that time period were afraid to face him. Every time Johnson moved up to face Tapia, Tapia would move up to another weight class.

Johnson beat everyone in the flyweight division that was of any note and who would fight him -- (Alberto Jimenez, Francisco Tejedor, Arthur Johnson) He won one world title at flyweight and two at super flyweight.

It's unfair to lump Carbajal in with that group. Carbajal fought all his title fights at flyweight, and he was on the downside anyway long before Johnson was in the P4P top 10. Carbajal finished his trilogy with Chiquita at the end of 94, won a light fly belt in 96, and lost it 10 months later. He then lost to Matlala 6 months after that.
Fair points with Romero, Tapia, and Arbachukov, though.

Thank you, finally someone with the good sense to agree with me on this.

Now it's starting to snowball. Recognition will be mine after all.
