Official Lucas Matthysse vs Viktor Postol Fight Prediction/Discussion Thread

[SalimShady1212]

Postol supposedly has a 4 and a half inch height advantage and a whopping 7 inch reach advantage...

[SalimShady1212]

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

Imagine how deadly he'd be with Mx's, unfortunately he has a history of hand issues so Powerlock is the best option for him.

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.

didn't monzon break his hands after most of his fights too? i guess some people are just too heavy handed even for their own hands.

Betfair is the only sportsbook that has Postol at 15/8, every other book I checked has him a little under 2/1. To be honest, I was expecting him to be closer to 3/1, but he's getting a decent amount of respect. If anyone wants to keep tabs on the odds across different books visit Oddschecker.

Matthysse supposedly has a 69'' reach, I doubt Postol has a 7inch advantage.

Matts KO Late

I voted matts TKO, really KO, in the later rounds. Hope Postol doesn't go poastal! Lmao , but gut says Matt KO

That's what I thought as Matthysse has a relatively long reach (same as Brook and Thurman) however I think it was an respectable article I read it in.

WARtthysse!!!!!

Nes on ThaBoxingvoice changed his pick and he's going w/ Postol also (along w/ Joe Habeeb)

I think early on Mathysse is looking to take Postol's head off, but after a few rounds, notices that it won’t be that easy and decides to start breaking him down bit by bit. Matthysse is a better boxer than people give him credit for (good footwork, reliable defensive skills, etc.), but I think he can definitely find a way to negate Postol’s advantages and use his power as the ultimate neutralizer.

It won’t be easy, but I really hope Mathysse gets the job done, because he deserves a world title and it would be a shame if he retired a contender. Looking forward to this one!
