Argentine KO artist next for Pacquiao?
MANILA, Philippines – A heavy-handed junior welterweight contender from Argentina is reportedly being lined up to fight Manny Pacquiao.
According to a report by fightnews.com, Lucas Matthysse has joined the Pacquiao sweepstakes. Matthysse’s promoter Oscar De La Hoya said they are negotiating with Pacquiao’s camp for a showdown.
The 33-year-old Matthysse boasts a record of 37-4, with 34 of his wins coming by way of knockout. The slugger, however, was recently stopped by Viktor Postol, who knocked him out in the 10th round of their duel last October 3 to annex the vacant WBC super lightweight title.
Postol, interestingly, was Pacquiao’s former sparring partner.
