Finally he come back and did quite well. The good new is he was very aggressive as usual which is a very good symptom for somebody that was for so long out of the ring. His boxing skills are still intact and the punch combination was very nice. True is that his rival didn’t offered much so we need to watch his future performance in bouts where he could be compromised again. Well done Lucas.
It was good for Lucas to fight as the undercard of Saul in order to remind every body he is still there and ready to fight again in more important bouts.
This ref didn’t like Taylor very much…
Nope ! I was rooting for Mattysse because i followed his career and there’s always “this” sympathy “. But The ref was clearly giving all advantages to Lucas to land and not be returned fire By Taylor. Disgraceful and corrupt .
