His opponent, the world champion in two different weight classes Lucas Martin Matthysse, has an official record of 39-4-0 (36 KOs=92%) and he entered as the No.13 welterweight in the world. He lost to Viktor Postol in 2015 (Matthysse vs Postol) but then he has beat Emmanuel Taylor (Matthysse vs Taylor) and Tewa Kiram (Lucas Martin Matthysse vs Tewa Kiram). Pacquiao vs Matthysse is valid for the WBA World welterweight title (Matthysse’s first defense). Watch the video and rate this fight!
