Stick a fork in him, Lucas is done. Garcia showed the cracks in his heart and Molina widened them up. Postol took his soul.
he'll end up slightly better than Ortiz

He can still do a lot in the sport. He just needs to be sure the match making is smart. If he's going after money fights, they either need to be with punchers, or someone that will make a loss financially worthwhile, like Pac.
I feel like he needs a few confidence builders and maybe even a regional title. That Postol defeat did a lot to him. I agree with the poster above, a guy like cano is a good place to start.
