RAZZ-MCFC Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Fuck! Sources out of Argentina, with close ties to junior welterweight Lucas Mathhysse, have confirmed to BoxingScene.com that Matthysse has withdrawn from his upcoming fight with Erik Morales, scheduled to take place on the Floyd Mayweather-Victor Ortiz undercard on September 17th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Matthysse and Morales were going to fight for the vacant WBC junior welterweight title. There are different stories going around as to the exact reason for Matthysse's withdrawal. A member of the boxer's team confirmed his withdrawal, but refused to discuss the exact reason, which one source stated was an injury and another states was an illness. Matthysse had replaced countryman Jorge Barrios, who withdrew due to visa issues. http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&opt=printable&id=43518 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never rated him. Groves' win over Anderson was better than DeGale's over him. At least Anderson had some kind of movement and had power. Smith's just a feather fisted punch bag.

Skav Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 If Morales doesn't fight on Sept 17th then I'd be extremely worried that Khan vs Morales would become a reality for Dec. Not bothered about Sept 17th now, Morales vs Matthysse was the one that would have got me tuned in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ko Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Maybe Crolla gets the nod? Maidana would be great though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donlevy Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Even though he's been training for a while,I doubt Maidana would take such a fight on short notice.Not unless he was offered a large sum and perhaps an agreement that he'll get a Khan rematch providing he wins. And yeah,the card doesnt look anything special right now.Not unless you're looking forward to Canelo's great clash with Alfonso Gomez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleman370 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 i think they wouldn't do maidana/morales for an undercard considering that headlined a ppv early this summer. i hope morales gets a live opponent and the wbc quash this nonsense about the title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavpowell Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 The WBC are hardly likely to quash the title thing - he's Mexican and he's THE Mexican, with the possible eception of Chavez, so they're desperately trying to help him make history and get one up on Chavez.

londoner Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 The fight falling through is one of the things in boxing. It's a shame because it was probably the best fight of the night. What i don't like is that the WBC's idea to hand a title to Morales could now become reality. I didn't think he would beat Mathysse but did think he'd beat Barrios (the original opponent for the WBC title). It now looks like he'll fight Pablo Cesar Cano for the vacant WBC title. I have heard of Cano and he hasn't beaten anyone significant. Looks like Morales will get that 4th weight World title in perhaps the easiest fight in 4 weight World championship history.

The late drop out by Mathysse gave the WBC the perfect opportunity/excuse to make this as easy as it could for Morrales. It was basically their dream come true, what a joke!!!
