Danny gave that dude the Margarito eye treatment.

Damn, Lucas just lost 65,363 American fans in just one night.

Good for postol garcia exposed lucas as a weak fighter mentally once he gets hurt or bleeds he turns into a shell of himself

Surprising that not too many people pointed out the clinching, holding and rough house tactics by Postol although Floyd Mayweather for example got a lot of **** for clinching Pacquiao less times in 12 than Postol clinched Matthysse in 6 rounds.

Good win for Postol nvertheless, he had the right game plan and he implemented it, he moves well and he has a good jab, if he would've tried to plant his feet and counter just a bit more he would've done even more damage to Matthysse but I guess he and Roach didn't believe in his own counterpunching ability so much, when he planted his feet and countered he got the stoppage, could've done that earlier.

Lucas didn't do what he was supposed to do ina fight like this, didn't try t close the distance behind jabs, double jabs or jabs to the body or feints or anything actually, he just lunged in and the only good thing he was trying to do was to land the looping right when Postol was trying to slide off the ropes to his left, but his game plan ******. And him not getting up was really surprising for me but he said he injured his eye, so I don't really know.

Postol won't get good fights in a long time believe me, he can just forget about Pacuiao and Crawford cuz Arum won't do it, Crawford being an American has a much higher potential to become a star and bring more money than Postol, and Postol's style and length can give anyone problems and his fights aren't very exciting, so Postol's win tonight wasn't probably the best thing for his career but we'll see.

I'm so disappointed in how Lucas fought those last few rounds. Dude should just retire if he isn't going to try harder than that. I've never seen him stop fighting like he did from the 7th on.

I couldn't believe he gave postol round 7 after he got hammered a few times and only had one good moment. Ledermrn needs to go, I thought the fight was close until that turning point with Lucas up 4-3.

That was as easy a fight to score as it gets. Every single round was clear as day. It was 5-4 Postol going into the 10th and i can't imagine how you could score it any different.

Lederman has really bad scorecards sometimes that you wonder if he's senile, blind, or both.

broner dares to be great....he virtually beat on school boys for his first 20 some thing fights, gavin reese was a standout for me! then came back to fight carlos molina and emmanuel taylor, did all he could to advantage porter before they fought, then fought whats his name last night..."broner dares to be great"funniest thing i heard all year.

I can't believe anyone had given postol the early rounds. You don't get points for running AND NOT THROWiNG. Boxing is hit and not get hit, not ...run and not throw. Postol didn't land anymore punches in the early rounds than Lucas...Lucas was the aggressor and missed more, but there's no way u can give it to a guy who was inactive and clinched, popping out a weak ass jab. People acted like he was landing clean....Lucas caught a lot of that b.s....postol had the ice packs on his face after the first. It was that fluky head but tht fcked up Matthyse eye. Rematch them n postol goes sleep, Lucas had him buzzed anytime he connected

[Nightfall]

De la hoya and his predictions. he's like 2 out of 30. could've been 4 but i still say trout and lara beat alvared

[Progrssive_Jedi]

I'm not all that shocked

This is an upset, but not one that was unbelievable.
