Bring down a tree, chop the body.

Postol is not Provo's countryman. One of them is Russian the other one is Ukranian. Learn the damn difference please.

i still can't believe people think lucas was outboxed by judah and alexander, especially alexander

Most people haven't even scene the fight, they just say it to fit their arguement.

Some people still have it in their mind that Matthysse is hype, he can be outboxed etc, while some others are just hoping that is the case.

Truth is nobody "out-boxed" Matthysse, Garcia won a close fight by slugging it out with him. Credit to Garcia, he took a lot of punishment that night that most fighters couldn't take and I don't think Postol is going to take it either.

Exactly, here's Mosley and Joel Diaz talking about how he has very good boxing skills but chooses to brawl. They also talk about how his defence is very good, "you might throw 10 but only land 1", "he looks like he's in range you throw and get caught and it's all over".

gloves for the fight. lucas still with the powelocks, shouldn't he use the MX??

[Jubei]

Lucas still fighting the guys nobody else wants to face. Very tough fight but the machine prevails, knocks Postol down a couple times and wins a competitive fight by decision.

No, he shouldn't. He had always used powerlocks and still he hurt his hand against Provo, imagine what might had happen if he used MX gloves.

The Alexander fight was definitely a robbery but the Zab fight was close. Lucas not being able to beat down and win decisively over Zab is a black mark seeing as most of the other A-B fighters he's faced have done exactly that to him.
