More exclusive photos from the camp of WBC interim junior welterweight champion Lucas Matthysse in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina as he trains for his Sep. 14 clash with WBA/WBC champion Danny Garcia.
Although all indications point towards Matthysse having a strong camp in his homeland, sources close to the prizefighter have advised HustleBoss.com that Lucas and his team could likely be hitting Los Angeles later this week to finish up their preparation.

This Saturday night in Cancun, Mexico, Golden Boy Promotions will stage a show headlined by a junior lightweight title clash between WBC champion Takashi Miura and streaking contender Sergio “Yeyo” Thompson.
On the undercard, 16-year old Damian “Sugar” Vasquez will be making his professional debut when he squares off with Miguel Meneses.
A little of a year ago, Vasquez began creating some buzz around the Las Vegas gym scene after some brisk sparring sessions with some seasoned pros.
Vasquez was then training under the tutelage of Floyd Mayweather Sr., who heaped great praise upon him, but he now finds himself working with his older brother Israel, a former junior featherweight champion known best to fight fans for his memorable wars with Rafael Marquez.
Working out of his personal facility, the Magnifico Boxing Gym in Huntington Park, Calif., Israel was able to see first-hand the kind of attributes that his brother brings to the table.
“The way I see things, it’s very, very rare that a 16-year old has the potential to do the things he’s doing now,” Israel stated. “Dominating sparring partners at the age of 25, 26. That’s what makes him a very special young man and special fighter. I know that he’s going to be able to make his debut in devastating fashion.”

Although nothing is official as of this moment, the wheels appear to be in motion for an interesting welterweight title clash between newly-crowned WBA champion Adrien Broner and former junior welterweight titlist Marcos Maidana.
Each man is coming off of a victory this past June, as Maidana stopped Josesito Lopez in a thriller on June 8 in Carson, Calif. while Broner edged out former champion Paulie Malignaggi two weeks later in Brooklyn.
Catching up with Broner recently, the brash 24-year old seemed to dismiss Maidana right off the bat.
“Anybody who grabs that rope to hang themselves,” said Broner of a possible duel with the Argentinean.
“Numbers speak for themselves,” Broner continued. “Check my views and check his views.”
