MANILA, Philippines – For WBA welterweight champion Lucas Matthysse, Manny Pacquiao’s best days are long gone, and now is the perfect time to take the Filipino icon out. Matthysse, who will put his title on the line against Pacquiao on July 15 in Kuala Lumpur, said Pacquiao’s style is tailor-made for him. Matthysse likewise draws confidence from the fact that the 39-year-old Pacquiao is not the same fighter he once was. Indeed, signs of decline have been evident in Pacquiao’s past fights. But even though Pacquiao is already past his prime, Matthysse believes his upcoming opponent won’t be easy to defeat.
