THE FINAL FOUR




It's late March, and sports highlights are filled with  the NCAA's basket ball tournament.  I'm not a big on college basket ball, so I really could care less about the tournament especially since UCLA was eliminated in the first round.
 I am writing on Golden Boy's version of the Final Four. Last week Richard Schaffer announced a junior welterweight tournament in the crowded field.
The participants are Lucas Matthysse, Lamont Peterson, Danny Garcia, and Zab Judah.
 If you have read my previous blog entries you know that I've been asking for a 140 lbs tournament since I think junior welterweight is the best division in boxing.  I even made a video for it.
Although, these are not all my ideal participants I am excited about the tournament.  At least this allows for a  road to Lucas Matthysse to fight Danny Garcia.
In this version of the tournament Danny Garcia will fight Zab Judah for his WBC Jr. Welterweight title on April 27 while Matthysse fights Lamont Peterson on May 18.  The winner of both fights will face each other in the fall, and the winner of that fight gets a ton of money and a shit load of exposure by beating up Amir Khan, yes the Amir Khan that got fucked up by Peterson and Garcia gets to fight the winner of the tournament.  It seems unfair but Khan is the cash cow, and besides it should be an easy fight for the winner of the tournament.

GARCIA (Louisville) - Garcia  is ranked number one he has stolen the spotlight and cemented himself as the top junior welterweight.  He robbed all of Khan's title with a barrage of vicious left hooks that the soft chinned champ could not handle.
After that he destroyed an over the hill Erik Morales in December, and now is lined up to destroy Zab Judah.  How confident am I that Judah will get smashed? Very and I use  simple logic.
Zab Judah made Amir Khan look like the second coming of Sugar Ray Robinson in their fight.  He was too slow and got fucked up to the point where he quit because of a phantom low blow.  Garcia took all Khan took Khan's best punches and then knocked him out.


Zab Judah(Wichita)-  Judah is Wichita lucky to be here but has no chance in winning . Judah  has chewed more than he could chew and has gotten the spot based solely on his name. That being said I believe Wichita has a better chance against Louisville than Zab winning a round against Garcia.

MATTHYSSE(Michigan)- He is Michigan the hands down favorite to win the tournament. He has taken the toughest road in order to be a part of the final four.  This guy is a myth with his own hashtag and hype that was created by his utter destruction of dangerous foes. When I see him I feel he should have a song like Paul Bunyan but he does have this sick video courtesy of Gorilla Productions 

Peterson(Syrcacuse)- He has defeated Amir Khan, and recently defeated Kendall Holt.  But after his win versus Khan it was proved that he was on Performance enhancement drugs, and his rematch with Khan was cancelled.  Instead he has been under the radar for the last year fighting only once in February. The thing about Peterson is that his victories are all at home, in D.C. and his match against Matthysse will be in NJ.  The allegations of cheating will be a distraction.  This will be a hard fight but Michigan should come out on top.

So there you have it guys I have safely predicted that Michigan will win the NCAA Tournament and Lucas Matthysse will win the Golden Boy Final Four Tournament. More than likely I'm wrong about college basket ball but I am sure Matthysse will win.

Either way no matter who wins the tournament I fear for Khan.
