This fight will bring boxing fans from both spectrum of the sport together, those who love the action fighters and those fans who enjoy the sweet science.

Despite the fact that both fighters enjoy trading shots and coming forward, Matthysse and Peterson can also box as proven in previous fights. Both fighters are looking to challenge or obtain a fight with Danny Garcia later this year with a win.

This win will not come easy for any of them. Matthysse and Peterson will both come in strong and with their sights set on winning. Peterson’s last fight against Kendall Holt was impressive in the sense that Peterson was relentless in coming forward, but an argument could be made that Holt was drained in weight.

Matthysse is coming of an impressive knockout victory against Mike Dallas Jr, who everyone knew had no chance. As a result we must look back only on how Matthysse battled and received the bad decisions against Devon Alexander and Zab Judah, who recently fought Danny Garcia.

One thing is for sure fans, both of these men are coming to fight. Tune in to watch this classic, possibly fight of the year candidate on Saturday. The fireworks will be going off. If you would like my personal pick, here it is:

Scenario 1: Peterson comes out as he did in the Kendall Holt fight, which in this case I see a knockout win with 7 for Matthysse.

Scenario 2: Lucas, quite possibly, can be out-boxed by Peterson.

Opinion: I don’t think Matthysse will win a close decision. This is still closer to home for Peterson. In fact, Golden Boy Promotions can only pray that Peterson wins. The way it seemed to me is that Danny Garcia would be knocked out in the middle rounds against a guy as powerful as Mathysse. Again opinion. Enjoy the fight this weekend Fans.
