    I called Postol KO late because of the size advantage and stylistic match up.

    Matthysse has always been extremely overrated and i've always questioned his heart. He's done now, he quit, he gave up on probably his last world title shot.

    Sick if true, but there definitely was a headbutt and Matthysse's output lowered after it so there could be something to it.

    Did anyone notice how big the ring seemed to be? You could host a prom night there :lol:

    again, that's a reason why floyd ducked margo and that's also a reason why mvc picked postol.

    Its clear Roach is enhancing his fighters in more ways than one.

    yea hes dabbing at his eye with his glove after the headbutt it's either that or Mattysse just gassed I didn't see Postol do any great damage other than the accidental headbutt.

    Either way Matthysse quit it's a win with a ? for postol.

    Postol got the victory but lets not kid ourselves that was an (injury or gassed tko) Postol couldn't even knock me out or Khan I reckon with those feather fisted arm punches.

    Exactly this mother****er has 12 KO's and he gets with Roach and he's KOing guys with pretty good chins like Aydin and Matthysse I'm not buying it at ll.

    Roach is also a vindictive little s***, Sergio schooled Chavez so he doped Cotto to the gills, Matthysse beat down Ruslan and here comes Viktor PEDstol, this ****ing guy couldn't KO a friigin bum like Jake Giuriceo in his last fight, its all bull****.

    Matthysse fans have taking the mantle of the biggest excuse makers in boxing, last night the guy quit on his knee, guys in the past have fought on countless times with broken jaws, hands, shoulders even a broken back :lol: looking at you mr Tyson, but the 1st time in his whole career Lucas faces someone who puts him under big pressure he folds and runs home

    Well, not ONLY. He countered pretty good. That said, I think his technique is quite unpolished which hurts my eyes.

    It's a little disrespectful to Postol to say it was just his size that won him the fight. There have been many tall fighters who failed.

    It is Postol's height and his ability to use that height and reach properly that won him the fight.
