Official Lucas Matthysse vs Viktor Postol Fight Prediction/Discussion Thread

[The Big Dunn]

hate? did i ever post as fervently as _king??

In fairness you were rather mild.

I picked lucas to lose based on my evaluation of him and no other reasons.

It wasn't hating him. It wasn't about an agenda. It's just that I think he is a cut below a fighter like postol.

Just wanted that for the record.

how is losing to postol somehow a grade on how good matthysse is?

ignore the forum fanboys and checkout the youtube pre-fight predictions, most people had it 50/50 and a lot picked postol to win

just because people picked lucas by KO doesn't mean ****, that's how he wins most of his fights, that's what he does best, saying someone is gonna win by KO doesn't automatically mean that they're saying the opponent is ****

Respectfully, I am not talking about what prediction was made, I am talking about the reaction to me picking postol to win.

I think it is a reflection on matthysse-i think he can really only win by ko. If he can't apply his power he has about a 50% or less chance to win a fight.

lol it's unbelievable how all these titles are being handed out for fun and a quality fighter like Matthysse hasn't managed to get his hand on one. Look at the guy Broner fought for a title tonight ffs...

Doesn't that say a lot about Matthysse? That in a world of 5 titles per weight class, he's never won more than an interim title?

That's not unbelievable. That's an indictment.

I had it half right, KO tenth. But the half I had wrong is all that mattered.
Postol won instead of Lucas.

I never thought he had much of a chnace against a guy like postol. He can't deal with a jab and can't prevent getting hit.

Not arecipe for success at the upper levels of this sport.

He can make great brawls with the provos and Rios' of the world, and he did kill petersen. His power makes him dangerous to a clown like broner.

But a good boxer will just stretch the fight out with the jab and wait until lucas is tired and arm weary. He ain't built for rounds 10-12.

Well he's lost a fight, now maybe he can get one like Broner and fight a guy who hasn't fought in a year in a half... step 2

I have been corrected. I lost 300 USD. I thought he had the ability to walk past a good jab. Postol corrected me.

Now I am wondering about cotto vs canelo.

Buddy this was Postol's 2nd fight in a year and a half. His other fight was an 8 rounder vs. the #331 ranked WW in the world. Just stop.
