Comments Thread For: Matthysse: I Wasn't Hurt, I Didn't Want To Go Blind

where all the "health first" jokes at?

In retrospect, that massive clash of heads is probably what caused the initial fracture, and the right hand in the tenth landed right on it. Lucas got some **** luck it seems. I still think he needs a new corner though.

he been should of went to Robert Garcia.

I would have stayed down too if all of the sudden one of my eyes shut down . That's some scary ****. Postol was on his way to winning comfortably no matter what tho.

The Machine went out of service. Smh

I'm not gonna sit here and call him a quitter. He's probably speaking the truth. Still got KOd regardless and I always felt he was a bit overrated - obviously can't deal with boxers.

Bit harsh, he dealt worh Alexander and Judah well. Postol isn't just any boxer, he's 5 11 and uses his height and reach to their maximum. He is a tough proposition for anyone now. I don't think someone close to Lucas' size would be able to outbox him.

Not gonna trash a fighter looking out for his health. However I thought he looked spent past the 7th, I don't think he had an answer for Postol's educated left hand.

If Postol quit under same circumstances this thread would be a lot different.

I've never seen Matthysse so flat as he was in the last few rounds. He had a pretty damn good 6th and 7th, then suddenly he was done. No head movement, no punches, nothing.

Anyone saying he's just making excuses about his eye, read the article and listen to him saying that Postol was just frustrating him overall with boxing and that it simply was a bad boxing night for him. It happens.

lucas is a warrior and postol outboxed him. there is no shame in losing a fight. he gave his best and its good that he knew when to stop. look at joel diaz - he is a great coach but lost an eye from fighting while hurt. freddie roach, james toney, ali etc.

there is no shame in knowing when to stop. he lives to fight another day and anyone who truly appreciates boxing will watch la maquina fight again. props to postol. he is a beast.
