    Can Viktor pull off the upset against La Machina? I'm not so sure.:think

    I've been saying for quite a while that I think Postol is great value to beat Lucas, you could get odds > 2/1 earlier this week. Postol has a powerful, accurate jab that will cause Lucas all kinds of problems.

    I'm liking Postol but Matthysse is a big step up. The upset could be on, however.

    In any event, an interesting bout; one in which I can see Matthysse being a tad frustrated - for a while, at least.

    Even though I was rooting against Postol tonight, and I'm really annoyed and a little bit shocked that Postol stopped Matthysse, if he was clean tonight and not on the juice (I have my doubts).....then that was a brilliant performance indeed.:clap:

    I can be boastful as well. Hugely impressive win for Postol, in my opinion of the other belt holders at 140 only Crawford beats Lucas. I would also back Postol to beat Crawford.

    This guy just took over the division. I don't see anyone who can be a stylistic match for him. He might KO Crawford too.

    :lol:

    Stopping Dulorme isn't stopping Postol. Getting wobbled by tiny Gamboa is a telling sign. Postol probably stops Crawford.

    and then when crawford beats him, you jump on the next hypetrain

    get real, i wanna see this fight simply because i know postol cant win, but if you think he stops crawford haha good for you

    Postol's KO win over Lucas (when even Ruslan couldn't stop him) is far more impressive than any win by Crawford. Victor is the man to beat at 140.

    I think Postol joined the team Roach after the Selçuk Aydin fight CST.

    The man cost me money last night.

    I was certain he'd take it on points and the extra value for the decision victory was too much to turn down.

    Never saw a stoppage coming at all.
