    provo lost cos he couldn't carry on throwing in the later rounds. people talk about it like a FOTY but Matthysse had his way post round 3 or 4 cos Provo didn't do naything.

    Combine provos power and grit with a better engine and punch output and we would have seen Matthysse quit.

      Add 4 inches to Matthysse's height and reach and he would've beaten Postol

          From the beginning, it felt like a different Postol imo. He was still a bit stiff in the torso, but he tightened up defensively and he clinched much more. I think he threw more combinations earlier against Aydin than Matts, and his combos were a bit more authoritative this time around when he decided to unload. I think he also maintained distance better. He improved on the finer details.

            I also think Postol beats Garcia, which is probably why Haymon had him duck that fight and just move up to 147 to fight the likes of Malignaggi and Guerrero

            Postol is unknown to most fans, but that doesn't mean he isn't any good.
            He also trains under Roach/Marvin and I'd have to be pretty naive to think they didnt learn anything about Lucas in the Ruslan fight

            Postol has 3 inches of reach (probably about 1.5 - 2" of arm length), and 5 inches of height, he is pretty big for 140

            He has more/less every possible physical advantage over Lucas except for Power, but his power is good enough to keep his opponent from being reckless

            rooting for lucas but this will probably be the most difficult fight he's ever had in his pro career

            I hope I'm wrong, since he's my current favorite active boxer
            You were right.
