Comments Thread For: Postol Shocker, Knocks Out Lucas Matthysse For WBC Belt!

[-DSG-]

Cong**** to Postol. Thats a very good win for him. As for Matthysse, he could really be done this time around. Hopefully he doesnt keep fighting on and damage himself too much.

Oh now you want to be humble? Lol

New to boxing?

lol any proof he cheated? if he you have some you should take it to the NSAC so they can rule the fight a no contest mr boxing expert. i can tell your new to boxing and your stats dont mean ****. this forum is a joke, you think i care if some idiot gives me a neg rep lol. im sure pac lunging into the punch had nothing to do with him getting KO'ed

Of course not BUT I have a brain filled with common sense. Why do you think Roidquez was bragging about how he could pass any test?????? You typically don't use steroids to get caught. Do you? I bet you think this whole Floyd PED proof, is a joke also, ey? Get your boxing IQ up and your points. I am putting you on my ignore list because you lack the proper knowledge to converse with me.

What I'd like to know is what happened to their body killing gameplan. In the corner I just saw "overhand, overhand".

Yep. There was almost no body work put in at all, just looking for the one big shot. That's amateur hour in the corner.

"Matthysse will not get through that reach"... i wanna thank god i wanna thank al haymon for giving me another opportunity to give a correct forecast of the way this fight would go, i wasn't expecting a knock out but matthysse got caught trying to close the gap on postol's range, he was getting caught throughout the fight and eventually it broke him down...sorry argentine people your warrior is a great fighter just didn't win the big ones

Danny beat Matthysse when Matthysse was in his prime, Postol beat a Matthysse that got punished by Swift, had to comeback from two or three knockdowns versus Molina, and went life and death with Provodnikov, now all of a sudden Postol is a killer? if Danny would've beaten Matthysse now and Postol had beaten Matthysse 2 years ago everyone would be saying Danny cherry picked

I need to watch this fight again. Anybody else had a split screen with the Broner bout?

I don't know what to think...I mean Lucas says his vision got shot, true, but plenty of boxers continue with a damaged eye. I mean when Donaire fought Rigo in the late rounds he was guarding one eye with his glove because supposedly he was seeing double... I'm more upset that Lucas gave up. I don't know what worse, his style, or like a Victor Ortiz vs Collazo style, or even a Duran vs Leonard II style!

I need to watch it again.

Im not trying to take away from Postol's victory because he fought a great fight but was it just me or was the size difference huge in this fight? Pistol looked so much bigger than Matthyssee. What was the fight night weigh in?

Matthysse had an ignorant fight plan. Should've stayed on top of Postol. Should've went in guns blazing, wore down the body then annihilated the head. But Matthysse has always been bad about having a poor fight plan in situations like this one. Provodnikov WILL get inside and stay there til Postol starts dropping his hands, then Provodnikov would finish him.

A fight I'd like would be Postol/Terrence Crawford. I don't believe what Postol says about Crawford ducking him. I would be amazed if Postol won that one.

Matthysse just needs a better trainer. Ironically, Roach could probably do a better job that who he's with now. Lucas didn't go for broke swarming inside with body shots, instead tried to box. Bad move.

The jury is still out as to whether Matthysse could ever compete at top level again, but he'd have a lot better chance with a better, more complete trainer.

But as of this moment, I don't think Lucas is done yet. I mean, he could make some serious money in Argentina at a stadium vs a mid-level name fighter.

Boxing is becoming a joke and a clinching festival, just like Floyd does. A guy clinches for 7 rounds and no points deducted, than landed one good shot and wins. MMA techniques should be allowed in boxing so when someone hugs, just pin him to the ground.

I agree. I have always wondered if guys like Floyd, Ward or Klitschko, and even legends like Ali would have ever become "champs" in the first place, if at least excessive clinching (a point deducted after 4-5 clinches) was penalized.

I love watching what I all the honest and legit fighters, the ones that never resort to clinching even if they are beat up pretty badly.
