    I'm one of those who thinks he can get the dec.

    What you say?

    Yes. We thought Matthysse would steamroll Molina. And who knows how much the Ruslan fight took out of him.

    No. Unfortunately. Perhaps he'll give him some troubles, but Matthysse can both outpoint him or knock him out.

    It's a pity he doesn't fight Garcia instead.

    I can see it happening. Postol will need to keep his range and be weary of Matthysse's hooks.

    It's definitely possible. Postol isn't bad. He has good jab with good reach.

    Postol is vastly overrated. I doubt we'll see the 5th round.

    Dropped 2X and battled hard to an 11th round TKO. That's not steamrolling...

    When is the last time Matthysse actually stopped a decent fighter?

    Coming from a Floyd fan :rofl

    Peterson is more than a decent fighter and he was decimated.

    I think he can too. His chin and recovery skills are questionable and I definetly see him going down but If he can recover, he can win a decision too.

    Floyd doesn't sell himself as a KO artist tho.

    Plus Peterson was missing a key element in his game plan ... the little enhancement stuff you know ;) He did beat Garcia after, so credit to mathysse for cracking him.
