According to Dan Rafael of espn.com, former Jr. Welterweight champion Lucas Matthysse is still feeling the effects of his fight with Viktor Postal and will not be able to participate in a proposed bout with Mauricio Herrera on May 7.
He was training and getting ready for the fight, but he felt some discomfort in his eye and he wants more rest,” Said Golden Boy Promotions Vice President Eric Gomez said of the longtime junior welterweight contender and one of the best pure punchers in boxing.
“He’s not going to fight on May 7. He is going to rest more but he is not retiring,” Gomez said. “Mario talked to him about it. What Lucas is going to do is rest, take some more time for his eye to heal and see how it is. In a few months we’ll see how he’s doing and go from there.”
