Richard Schaefer adds Morales-Matthysse, Vargas-Lopez to Mayweather-Ortiz mega showdown – Boxing
The Chief Executive Officer of Golden Boy Promotions Richard Schaefer has added Erik Morales vs. Lucas Matthysse and Jessie Vargas vs. Josesito Lopez to the mega showdown between the undefeated American legend, Floyd Mayweather and the Vicious, Victor Ortiz
on September 17, 2011.
The five-division World Champion, Floyd Mayweather, is set to take on Victor Ortiz at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada and with these two fights, it has become a tremendous card.
Schaefer shared his feelings with the media after announcing the two fights as he was pretty delighted upon finding such wonderful prospects to a star power Mayweather-Ortiz show.
While speaking on his inclusion, he said, “Two young prospects in Jessie Vargas vs. Josesito Lopez and of course one of the most famous Mexican fighters in the history of the sport, the legendary Erik Morales who will face Lucas Matthysse. Matthysse is as
hungry to bring that belt back to his homeland of Argentina just as Erik Morales is to take it back to Mexico.”
Schaefer was especially excited about the Morales-Matthysse clash as he knows it will certainly be an explosive fight for the audience. However, Schaefer somehow thinks Morales will overpower Matthysse in the ring.
Schaefer remarked, “When Barrios was not available and Lucas Matthysse became available, I think that it became evident that this was never about Morales getting a title handed to him. It was about earning his titles and if someone has earned his titles
the hard way, it is Erik Morales.”
The United States undefeated rising star Jessie Vargas on the same note will make his first Home Box Office Pay-Per-View appearance against Josesito Lopez. Therefore, this fight will also be a promising one.
The Fight Card has already officially declared September 17 as the biggest night in the boxing universe and because of these facts people now desperately want to see the fighters in action.
