Official Lucas Matthysse vs Viktor Postol Fight Prediction/Discussion Thread

[LittleMacAttack]

Can't wait for this fight! I see Matthysse getting a late stoppage, but I can't count Postol out. Should be a great fight. Matthysse fights almost always are.

You better hope Postol is not as good as people think he is because your boy is not KO all the top tier opponents he has faced and as I already said Judges are not Lucas friend.

How silly. I hope Postol is exactly as good as people think, so Matthysse can show he's simply is better.

Joe Habeeb at ThaBoxingvoice, and Richard Dwyer are picking Postol to win easy.

Personally I think big fight experience will be the main factor here. Also anybody else think Roach is not the trainer to have for Postol in this fight?

Well, they're going to be eating crow soon.

I also think that it'll be a good back and forth fight that will show us that Postol doesn't have enough power to keep Matthysse off of him in the long run. I expect Postol to start strong but slowly start to break down from Matthysse's power shots and get stopped at some point after the 6th rd, maybe the 8th round.

That will be sick. Postol isn't bad at all, the **** can box and has some pop.



I think Lucas will beat him though.

Matthysse and Maidana could start a reign of Argentine terror. Honestly I think both have enough skills to reign as champion at Super Lightweight and Welterweight.

Would be cool to see.

It really is disgusting that guys like Broner have fake belts all over the place but Lucas has never won a world title. Let Lucas fight for belts against the Paulie Malignaggis of the world and see how many he wins.

Lucas gonna eat some shots while trying to get close to the longer taller Postol...but once he's found the range, he'll set up shop and kill dude with body shots...around the 7th, that's when he'll land those pineapples and put Postol on ice

[The Hammer]

Postol is a good fighter, but I think inactivity/poor opposition since Aydin puts him at a disadvantage.

I think it will be a good fight, with Matthysse winning a (possibly close) decision.

Hahaha!!! Lucas is such a machine. Dude doesn't give two ****s about interviews, fight promotion, or any other pomp & circumstance.
I'm wondering if he could be a PPV star at some point (akin Gatti), bc he's always in an exciting fight. He really is one of those dudes who's guaranteed to come in balls first every time. I guess if pacquiao could become a star with zero personality, then anything's possible.
War Maquina!!
