      He was boxing very well and was indeed leading on the majority of the cards, but I just didn’t agree with the ref’s decision to stop the fight at that moment.

        I didn't see the fight, but I heard it was an early stoppage so I checked around for the scorecards to see if Russell would've won anyway. I shared so anyone similarly curious wouldn't need to also search for them.

          Postol probably wasn’t all there mentally because of the crisis in his homeland. Not taking anything away from Russell but I doubt he got the best Postol on this night. He is 38 so Russell winning was expected but still I’m not sure Postol could give his best this night…
