    Damn..Where does Lucas go from here?!?

    I'm just as shocked as anyone who picked Lucas to stomp out Postol....I know Lucas never OFFICIALLY won a world title but I do think he should've been IBF champ when he trucked Lamont.....so due to POLITICAL reasons, he never OFFICIALLY been strapped up....after tonight, I don't see him causing Pac any problems...he gets beat up by that ATG....he could fight Crawford or move to 147 and fight the Rios-Bradley winner

    Where does The Machine go from here?

      Move up, go after a couple of easy touches, find a new trainer.

            Lucas has a better than 50/50 chance against any 140 guy who allows him to fight at mid-range

            he's never gonna beat guys who are taller and jab the **** out of him

            he isn't elite, nobody ever said he was

            the outcome of this fight doesn't really change anything about him fighting pacquiao, pacquiao has shorter arms than he does and also gives way more offensive openings to his opponent

            also, for the amount of difficulty Lucas had in landing on Postol, he still landed at a much higher clip so give him credit where it's due, he did what he could against a very technically sound bigger guy

            fights I'd like to see Lucas in at 140

            Marquez, Broner, Herrera off the top of my head

                Hopefully Bradley/Rios loser.

                Maybe Vargas, that's perfect.

                  I dont thinkhe has much left tbh. Mentally he does t seem to be ready to fight his style anymore.

                  Honestly i dont think he has looked as good since left Martinez' trainer. Even though he got robbed twice with him i think that was the best version of Lucas, hard hitting and intelligent. Since then i think he has become mkre basic in how he goes about his boxing (inc. The peterson fight).

                  Its been a rollercoaster being a Matthysse fan thats for sure!

                    **** I don't know, I've been a big fan of his since the Zab fight but, now he is shop worn and might no longer be the machine ! He is a good boxer with a knock out punch, so he is still a draw on the networks, hopefully broner thinks he could be him. Make that fight happen next or why not a Garcia rematch better than the **** fights he's been in lately.
