Walter Dario Matthysse Sr. (born August 29, 1978) is an Argentine former professional boxer who competed from 2002 to 2009. He challenged for the IBF welterweight title in 2007 and at regional level held the WBO Latino welterweight title three times between 2004 and 2006. He is the older brother of former featherweight world champion, Edith Soledad Matthysse, and welterweight world champion of boxing, Lucas Matthysse.[1]
Professional career
[edit | edit source]On July 14, 2007, Kermit Cintrón was dominant in his first title defense, knocking down the Argentine Matthysse three times on his way to a knockout victory twenty-nine seconds into the second round.[2] Prior to this match, Matthysse had never been knocked down by any opponent, although he had suffered a tenth-round technical knockout loss in May 2006 at the hands of Paul Williams (the Cintrón-Matthysse bout was the main undercard fight of a WBO title bout between challenger Williams and incumbent Antonio Margarito).
