The Argentine boxer\u00a0Lucas Matthysse<\/strong>\u00a0will experience one of the most important evenings of his career in the\u00a0Axiata Arena<\/em>\u00a0in Kuala Lumpur when he defends his World Boxing Association welterweight world title against the legendary Filipino fighter\u00a0Manny Pacquiao<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Malaysia will host one of the most important boxing events on the agenda after the cancellation of the fight between Gennady Golovkin and Saul \"Canelo\" Alvarez, which was rescheduled for September this year. The stadium has a capacity for\u00a016 thousand people<\/strong>\u00a0that will vibrate with an event that will take place around midnight in Argentina (Sunday morning in the Asian country).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The magnitude of the fight is such that it will be held at this atypical time so that the clash can be seen in prime time on U.S. television. In Argentina, it will be televised through premium channel\u00a0TNT Sports<\/em>The same signal broadcasts the local Superliga soccer matches.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Argentinean, from\u00a035 years,<\/strong>\u00a0became WBA world champion of the category a few months ago after a spectacular eighth round knockout victory over Thai Tewa\u00a0Kiram<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Shortly before that, he had fought his first fight at this higher weight with another win before the limit against American Emmanuel\u00a0Taylor\u00a0<\/strong>after spending almost two years out of action following the loss to\u00a0Viktor Postol<\/strong>\u00a0by knockout, the only one of his career.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

His record is impressive and fuels his reputation as a knockout:\u00a039 wins<\/strong>\u00a0-36<\/strong>\u00a0of them before the limit- and\u00a04 defeats<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

He will face an absolute celebrity of the last two decades of boxing. The Filipino is about to turn\u00a040 years<\/strong>\u00a0and will face the 69th bout of his successful career. His statistics show\u00a059 won<\/strong>\u00a0(38 knockouts),\u00a07 losses<\/strong>\u00a0y\u00a02 tied<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In the middle of last year, he made his last appearance against Australian\u00a0Jeff Horn<\/strong>\u00a0in a packed stadium in the city of Brisbane. Despite the loss on the scorecards, Pacquiao proved his validity in the ring.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Matthysse will flirt with the opportunity to go down in national boxing history and thus leave in the past the defeats against Zab\u00a0Judah<\/strong>\u00a0(2010), Devon\u00a0Alexander<\/strong>\u00a0(2011) and Danny\u00a0Garcia<\/strong>\u00a0(2013) that prevented him from making the leap in quality in his career.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"He's a great champion, but\u00a0has not yet faced \"La M\u00e1quina\".<\/strong>. If he decides to retire after I beat him, that's his decision.
