Mathysee: 'I wasn't hurt, its just the eye'.

I'm just trusting and giving him the benefit of doubt since his performance did change after the butt. Plus Postol wasn't really beating him up to force a stoppage.
Anyway, everyone will see the fight differently. It really doesn't change the outcome of the fight which shows fights can be won or lost due to psychological affects as much as physical.

 

I didnt see him very frustrated when he nearly tear postol's head off few rounds earlier. :think

 

You are free to do that, but I see through his motives.

We can agree to disagree.

 

You're doing it again, how the heck can you even pretend to know his motives? You can't even begin to imagine what really went on, whether he really couldn't see, whether or not he really couldn't feel his body. For crying out loud stop being an attention wh%#e. Post something with some perspective or some actual substance, not just your biased speculation. If you can't then stay the heck out of the forums. I swear you're responsible for 75% of the garbage posts in this forum.

 

Because you don't normally feel the effects of those as most boxers don't develop noticeable brain damage or die whilst in the ring. Lucas did develop and notice his eye problem whilst in the middle of a fight. All boxers know the risks, just like any sport person in any dangerous sport and most when asked say that it is something they just have to forget about or at best push to the back of their mind. However, being presented with the risk and aware of it (in this case, Lucas noticing he had lost vision from one of his eyes) that changes the ball game. Many people can deal with a potential risk to their health, but, when that risk turns to a reality it is a whole different matter.

Also, it is not just Lucas' long term health. Yes he probably doesn't want to be blind later in life, but, there is also the short term effects - the ending of his career. It is all very well and good for us to judge whilst sat in our armchairs and expect other people far braver than us to risk their own health for our entertainment, but, put yourself in Lucas' shoes; you go blind in one eye during a fight. Do you carry on and risk losing your sight forever or do you quit to hopefully fight another day?

 

You may be naive, but I can CLEARLY see through it. I'm not faulting him for quitting, but if it was really his eye, he would have quit in the Garcia fight. His eye was far worse in that fight and he fought through it. That's my point. You going off about some B.S isn't helping you. Just saying.

 

I fully accept the fact that vision > winning a boxing match. But if he really cared THAT much about his eyesight, he would have quit in the Garcia fight. He was much closer to being blind in that fight than in the Postol fight. The situations were very similar and he does one thing in the other and something else in the other. A little off, no?

I ****yzed the entire situation thoroughly, it wasn't the eye, it was the fact that he was a spent force and couldn't keep up with Postol. He was taking a lot of punishment starting from r7. And he's free to do as he wishes, he can quit, I don't care. But don't go telling the public something different. That's just low.

 

Know what? You're on your own. There's no fixing stupid.

 

Cya then, I'm sorry you're blinded to the truth.

You are claiming to know that he quit due to exhaustion and him being behind in the fight and not on his eye? This is just supposition on your part. Also, how do you know that he was closer to going blind in the Garcia fight and not this one? Has the prognosis of his eye post Postol fight been done and revealed to the public yet?

 

Well, you're also going by what HE'S SAYING post fight and taking THAT to the bank without really considering all the factors. How do you know it's the truth? Did he say anything about it during the fight in the multiple resting periods from round 7 to the eventual stoppage. I'd like to see it if that exists. Maybe I was watching something else but I didn't hear anything about that during the fight. He said nothing about it to his trainer.

I'm using logic and an educated/objective mind to deduce what really happened.

I'm going by what I saw and deduced. Sorry.

There are just too many holes to his claims. And I'm not one to believe what everyone says without really investigating the matter myself.

 

You are such a sanctimonious phony.:-(

 

Was it the same eye?:shock:

 

Postol 5'11 140 pounder with longer reach than Lamont!:deal Good thing Garcia vacated.:yep
