Some of you people are delusional. Postel is Ok. Thats it. He did not destroy Lucas. The fight was even on the cards counting the knockdown. Postel only had success because of his height combined with Lucas' style. The same reason Molina had success. Postel is BASIC. He will lose to anyone who knows how to move their head and counter. He has zero power. Did you see him fight Lundy and Aydin? Freddie Roach is turning Postel into a poor mans Khan, and he will get starched in the same fashion! I guarantee Crawford stops him when they unify.
Seriously? Who had it even? Postol took complete control over the fight after the 7th round. He took Matthysse completely out of the fight and wobbled him in two different rounds. The KO was coming. It was only a matter of time. An OK fighter doesn't do that to Lucas Matthysse. Sorry, try again.
https://twitter.com/danrafaelespn/status/650538220757848068 Postol was up 86-85 on two cards and Matthysse was up by the same score on the third card at the time of the KO.
Errrrr - If a Boxer is up 86-85 on two cards and his opponent is up by the same score on the one remaining card - That is not an even score. Ask yourself, if a TD were called at the end of the 9th round, who would get awarded the decision and that should answer your question. Also- let's consider that, in respect to the Postol/Matthysse bout, by the end of the 10th round, even if Matthyse had made it to the bell, the cards would have then read 96-93 on two cards; 95-94 on the other - All in Postol's favour - with two rounds to go. So - no - not even.
I told all of you he'd school Garcia last year and you didn't believe me. I'm still saying that even at WW.
