Official Lucas Matthysse vs Viktor Postol Fight Prediction/Discussion Thread

[John Locke]

The thing with Postol he's got a good engine, he's not just a skillful fighter. He throws hands, his workrate is good. So it's gonna be hard for Lucas to outwork somebody who throws on the move.

Hope he can pull it off, we don't really know what Postol's chin, heart or durability is like.

Aydin can hit hard, but I don't think he hits harder than Matthysse, at least not accurately. Aydin is more of a hard overhand right slugger, like a Rios. Everybody says that Postol will control the range. Perhaps, but so can Matthysse. Matthysse knows how to bend back on oncoming jabs aside from the fact that he responds fast with his guard. Lucas got a chin too.

Postol has no idea how hard Matthysse will hit. Lucas adjusted nicely with Molina Jr. and went on to destroy him with classic preserved Matthysse energy. When Lucas boxed Ruslan, that fight alone was a boxing lesson on how to control range.

If it goes the distance, perhaps Postol will win 1 or 2 rounds. I say that because if Postol backs off in this fight with lateral movement feeling Lucas' legit power he's not gonna win the judges, regardless if he's throwing jabs out that aren't even landing.

2 to 1 for Lucas.

I don' think the judges will be impressed by Postol vs Matthysse. I think it's time for Matthysse to shine. I'm unsure by KO or TKO. I don't single out Postol's ability. I have strong feeling he's going to respect Lucas' power. Like I said, 10 rounds more or less for Matthysse. If they studied the tape carefully, they're not gonna let Postol ''control range.''

We'll see.

The problem with your logic is that Matthysse fights rarely go to a decision. Besides from Garcia, Provodnikov and Adan Jerez (the UD) everyone has gone down at least once.

If Matthysse scores a KO under 5 rounds he becomes a boogeyman champion.

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.

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



I think Lucas will beat him though.
