It runs in the family, his old man did the same but somehow he was able to fight well despite that. Yet their old man never achieved what Matthew achieved. Davey, the oldest son who was in jail for that sexual abuse, also briefly held the WBC super middle strap. But he lost it not long therafter when his daughters brought it out in the open.
