Duke McKenzie on Morales vs Matthyse

[The_budweiser]

As the Star Power Pay Per View draws closer we sat down with former IBF Flyweight and WBO Super Bantamweight Champion Duke McKenzie to discuss the upcoming fights, starting with the vacant WBC Light Welterweight fight between Erik Morales and Lucas Matthyse.

 

Before discussing the fight Duke had some comments on the fact former champion Timothy Bradley was stripped of the WBC title;

 

“I don’t think it was right Bradley was stripped, boxing has become too political these days. If you put Amir Khan in a ring with Bradley there is no way he would say he doesn’t want to fight. It comes down to politics, the longer he holds off on a fight with Khan the more money that fight generates. These two are the flag bearers of that division and there aren’t many more superstars out there at Light Welterweight.”

 

 

“Bradley should stop thinking of moving up to fight Pacquiao, Christmas doesn’t come along every day of the week and while Pacquiao would be a career high pay day the question Bradley should be asking is ‘am I going to win?’ If he could beat Pacquiao it would elevate him to an elite level but should he lose it then that makes a fight with Amir Khan less financially viable. He won’t get a bigger pay day right now than from fighting Khan.”
