Once again the “National Fist” Manny Pacquiao will fight on July 15, 2018 at Axiata Arena in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia against Argetina’s heavy handed knock-out artist Lucas Matthyse who win 39 fights with 36 knock-outs.
Pacquiao now started his training at General Santos City with his friend/coach Buboy Fernandez. Fredie Roach won’t be calling the shots for Manny in this fight. The Manny-Buboy tandem will be seen for this fight.
It will be fought in Malaysia because big-time financier of Pacquiao were from Malaysia and it will be one of the biggest event in boxing history of Malaysia. Top Rank of Bob Arum still will be handling the coverage in the US. GOLDEN BOY Promotion will the major promoter since Matthysse is their fighter.
Lucas Mattysse will be defending his WBA Welterweight Title and said in an interview that he will confuse Manny with the two styles he used against Provodnikov and Taylor. He is known to be a heavy hitter and can knock-out opponent with just a single punch but he is known to fade in the latter rounds. His conditioning will be tested with the wirldwind Pacquiao.
The fighting Senator known as the PACMAN is an 8 division world champion, that feat is hard to break, who uses good lateral movement and throw punches coming different angles will try to bring back the championship for the Filipinos around the world for 12th time in his legendary career. However, Pacquiao is already 39 years old and his skills, power and speed had diminished as proven in his previous fight.
If Lucas will slug it out with Pacquiao the fight won’t go the distance and only one man will remain standing but if he chose to hit and run, Matthyse might lose on points or a late knock out because of his stamina issue. While Pacquiao couldn’t be careless because it might be the end of his very illustrious career.
This will be an exciting fight to watch both can chose to fight toe-to-toe until the last bell. I am hoping this will be a one hell of a fight that will be remembered by boxing fans around the world. See you there!
