Comments Thread For: Viktor Postol Dropped Hard, Rallies To Earn Decision

[-PBP-]

I like Postol. This is what sucks about boxing. One loss can set you back so much unless you have a huge fanbase.

Don't miss this one. The kid humiliated Postol with sizzling lead lefts, lightning counters and a style that owes a little something to Emmanuel Augustus. Home town judging and an abysmal ref kept Viktor from defeat. Either the kid is a diamond in the rough (he's never heard of a jab and he has a very small toolset) or Viktor's shot.

Here is the fight for anyone interested.

Judges are atrocious: 10 Australian J-points out of 10.
Referee counted from 2 to 6 for whopping 7 seconds. He started counting from 2 on the 4-th second Postol was lying on the canvas.
Postol had 2 knockdowns in first round yet referee didn't start counting even once! You could argue about first one after Postol lost balance being hit nearby shoulder but 2nd was adamant.

Yet Postol won 2nd, 6th,8th,9th,10th. Possibly won 7th and 4-th which were close.
