Lucas Matthysse: I am going to take the title back!

Lucas Matthysse (34-3, 32 KO’s) isn’t going to let his recent defeat at the hands of WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia get in the way of his continuing to progress to win a world title fight. For Matthysse, he sees this as a bump in the road. Matthysse’s going to be getting back in the gym and he wants to fight in April or May of this year. He could be trained by Robert Garcia in Oxnard, California. This would enable Matthysse to train side by side with Marcos Maidana. They both come from Argentina. Robert Garcia has done a great job with Maidana’s career and improved his defense as well as his offense. It would be interesting to see what Garcia could do with Matthysse to make him a little more finesse oriented. “I’m gonna take the title back,” Matthysse told campeonenelring. Asked when he would fight next, Matthysse said “between April and May.” Matthysse would be great opponent for Adrien Broner or Zab Judah, if Golden Boy Promotions could get either of those two to agree to fight Matthysse. But Matthysse needs to learn to box more for him to succeed long term, because he’s not going to be able to just go out looking to score knockouts each time he fights.
