Official Lucas Matthysse vs Viktor Postol Fight Prediction/Discussion Thread

[FerFAL]

Dwyer picked Postol?

Thank glob, Matthysse win confirmed.

Yup. Making the same arguement that he made for the Peterson fight, things Postol can smother Postol. He went so far as to saying Postol can win easily. Nite nite Postol!

[FerFAL]

So that means Postol himself might be tossing the fight on some side money nobody knows about...

Of course Golden Boy wants to publicize it, it's Manny Pacquiao. That would be a big fight.

However, it took time for Matthysse to get another title shot after losing to Garcia.

I don't know how people are choosing Postol. Granted, you earn the ranked spot and shot for the WBC Title, but Postol's opposition is nothing like Matthyse's resume. I guess it's the equivalent of watching Algieri vs Ruslan and then thinking he was favored to win against Pac because everybody thought Algieri's boxing and jab was going to neutralize the setting.

I see that too. Algieri survived Provo, yes he stayed behind that jab and yes he did (barely) win. But then you throw the guy in the ring with Pacman and he gets destroyed.
I think its the same here, with Postol clearly being a lot more of a boxer than Chris Algieri for sure, but never fighting anyone of the caliber of the Machine.

Viktor Postol: "similar to Molina, I'm not Molina"

Easy work Postol. Mattyhssee is getting outboxed, easily.


I think Postol is going to put such a beating on Lucas that the referee will step in to save his life by the 9th round.

Mediocre KO rate and barely survives Hank Lundy... so he beats up Matthysse? OK. Matthysse said yesterday he's looking to tear Postol's head off. Ref wont have to save Postol, he'll be having a nice nap on the canvas before the 8th round.

Barely survived Lundy? He outboxed him for 12 rounds.


Lucas got dropped 3 times by a sheep herder. Postol is going to embarrass him.


Easy work.

And then got up and literally beat him in a corner into a bloody mess.

Postol hasnt fought anybody yet, and against the nobodys he fought he hasnt shown anything special other than ok boxing skills, which arent superior to Matthysse's against superior opposition. He's not going to embarrass the machine bro. Its a good enough night for Postol if he just loses without getting "iced".

I just don't understand why you're getting so upset?


You can say whatever you want about Postol, but if he wins, which he will.... what are you gonna do or say or do then? Will Postol still be a nobody and Mattyhssee just be an overrated bum?

Oh, and I'm not even saying Postol is some future HOFer, all I'm saying is he's good enough to beat Mattyhsee.

king? do you remember the lead up to the provodnikov fight?

No ones upset, just saying its pretty ****** to think that the underdog, who isnt particularly powerful, proven nor has he had so far much of a career, will "easily" beat the #1 guy in the division.
If Postol wins good for him. If he somehow gets a round 1 KO then more power to him. Its just VERY unlikely. If Postol wins, then you could say his career is just barely starting by beating a well known, top ranked boxer in his division. It would be his first big victory. Matthysse already had many big victories. Humberto Soto, also fighting that same night, has already been KO by Matthysse. Postol couldnt KD Demarcus Corley. Matthysse put that guy down SEVEN TIMES before KO him. If you cant see the difference between the names Matthysse fought compared to Postol then I cant help you.
Postol is no Rod Salsa, he sure is a good boxer and he can win, but he's nothing special and he sure is no killer.
Only a 5 year old can say Matthysse is "easy work" for fking Postol man, when in reality not a single person Matthysse went into the ring with had it easy in any shape or form.

king? do you remember the lead up to the provodnikov fight?

You mean when he said this about Matthysse-Provodnikov?

Lucas Mattyhsee gets DESTROYED, OBLITERATED and EMBERESED in one more night!!

I dont know, maybe the Machine fked his mom or something.
