Lucas Matthysse vs. Viktor Postol

[sucracristo]

8th to postol. clear round for him.
i have it 5-3 postol after 8 but early rounds were close and scores could be closer

[sucracristo]

9th clear for postol.
i have matthysse needing a ko

[punchoutsb]

Postol looked stiff and dorky in the first round. He's really taken control though, he looks really good.

[punchoutsb]

Wow....

[Tangerine]

!!

[sucracristo]

matthysse caught coming in during the 10th, goes down, doesn't get
off knee for count. ko10 postol

[punchoutsb]

Postol and Crawford is going to be a really good one. I hope soon!

[digzee]

Well Postol has made a huge statement tonight!!

[sucracristo]

great game plan from roach.
roach even said just before the ko that it was coming and how it was going to happen

[digzee]

B hop ad Oscar look shocked as I think most of us are.

[Baby Face Finster]

I was going to say Postol was going to KO Matthysse before the start of tonight's fight but didn't. I've always been big on Postol.

[macaca]

Lucas eye looked a bit fucked there at the end, hope he didn't tear something ...... totally out boxed, Postol can take a shot for sure

To the word, Freddie said yeah we can get the KO, he is tiring badly, in fact I think he is ready to quit ............. cue the music

Wow

What a big disappointment Lucas looked lethargic, slower and showed no hunger.

And getting stopped by a guy with 11ko's and just staying in his knee counted out.

Safe to say lucas best days are done.

Odd ending.

Everyone saw tonight the reason Danny Garcia vacated.

[Lackeos]

Somewhere around round 7, Matthysse staggered into the ropes, seemingly from a pretty subtle clash of heads. Seems like after that, Matthysse just shut down and Postol took over. Really hard to fathom the way Matthysse shut down and got dominated, but... the fight is in the books now. Postol has secured world class status for sure now. Possibly top 3 in his division.

The number of KO's he has is deceptive. You could see in his KO stoppage of Selcuk Aydin that he has been progressing immensely.

Im one of the biggest Matthysse fans around here and just sad seeing him give up, he wasn't even trying anymore he just gave up.

All the wars finally caught up to him.

[punchoutsb]

Matthysse said he felt something pop in his eye. Hope this isn't the last we see of him.

Postol jumps to number two in my opinion. I know I've already said it, but I really want to see him and Crawford.

I will say it now that I think he beats Crawford.

Before tonight, Crawford was my clear number one. After tonight I'd make that fight 50/50. I've seen Postol several times before and have been impressed, but tonights fight was the deal maker.

Wow, you are one hell of a fair weather fan. You've been going on for months about how Mathysse would demolish Pacquiao and everyone else and fecking minutes after Postol stopped him he's suddenly done?

How about giving Postol some credit instead? Mathysse looked like he always did. Postol just took his best, outboxed him and stopped him

[sucracristo]

matthysse ran into that punch.
if you slow down the ali-liston "phantom punch" you can see that a well timed
right hand catching a guy rushing in doesn't have to look that devastating.
it's like when a head on collision at a very slow speed can total a car easily.
if he says he was worried about the eye then hopefully the eye will be ok,
but the shot he got hit with was no lucky punch. postol was a step ahead of
him and nailed him with it. if matthysse got up, he really had no chance of
winning the way things were going. hopefully he lived to fight another day.
