Pacquiao – Matisse: Why this fight can not be missed – Boxing News

1. POSSIBLE, IT IS THE LAST BATTLE OF PAKIWO

The great Filipino has yet to say anything about the end of his career, but it is possible that the battle with Matisse is the last of his glorious career. Especially if Pacquiao is defeated, and exclude such a scenario is by no means possible. After all, a possible failure will be for the 39-year-old boxer the second in a row – his previous fight Pakistano lost to Australian Jeff Horn, although the decision of a very controversial referee. Would he like to continue? Still, the Filipino always seemed to be a boxer who knows when to stop.

2. STYLE MATHISSE

Matisse – absolute wars and a shirt. His shot is one of the most terrible among all the fighters who scale in the 60 to 70 kilograms range: 36 of the 39 wins he's won early. Ruslan Provodnikov, who turned out to be one of those who stayed with Matisse for 12 rounds, admitted that after the battle he went to the restroom with black urine. In 2015, the Russian lost against the Argentine by the decision of the majority of judges.

Moreover, Matisse is one of the best body-panchers at the moment. His attacks on the body are no less terrible, as they were in the days of Ricky Hatton, whom he put in dozens of fighters

. PAKIAO STYLE

The Filipino was also still a pretty brilliant fighter, even though he can not be called a clbadic shirt. Watching his fights was always interesting, even for those who are not particularly versed in boxing and its subtleties. Pacião, unlike Floyd Mayweather, has never known how to defend himself better than a fighter such as Matisse could use him.

Another important factor: Pacquiao is not a fighter so long armed, he has less reach than Matisse (170 cm against 175). And, therefore, the Argentine will certainly have his rival.

4. BATTLE FOR HERITAGE

There will be no significant [ceintures] in this battle at the time of the battle – but it may be even for the better. And the fees here, too, have nothing to do with – although it 's clear that boxers are fighting for money and are not hiding it. The outcome of the fight depends largely on what Pacquiao and Matisse will remember from the audience. It's a battle, as is customary in such cases to say, for heritage.
