It looked to me like Lucas Matthysse took a dive and then quit

    Lucas just doesn't have it anymore he wanted to quit against postol to. I think he tried at first but as soon as he started to get hit and take punishment he didn't want to be there. His heart simply isn't in the sport like it used to. He needs to retire before he gets hurt.

    I don't think it was a fix, a "quit" and a "fix" are different things.

    IT looked like a washed-up clean guy vs a past-prime dirty guy who was always better than him anyway.

    nnaa he didnt dive, however he fought the wrong fight, if he'd treied to take manny into late rounds he might well have outlasted the old dog.

    It appeared he took a dive, the punch didn't seem to be hard enough to knock him down.

    Then instead of getting up, he stayed down (quit).

    Who LM? Are you trying to claim that pac is close to as shot as LM? Or hell, that pac is even shot at all, pac is NOT shot in any way shape or form.

    Obviously people on here have vastly different definitions of people being shot. Not being what you once were (always compared to said persons best time) doesn't mean they're shot, or just means they're aging and slowly slowing down.

    Pac can and does still compete at the very top level, he can still absorb punishment, still has plenty of stamina and still can pull the trigger, all that equals a pac that's still very dangerous

    He has the fight beaten out of him. I believe it LM was able to land even here and there he'd of tried to win for more than the 2 rounds he actually tried in.. I guess we can say he tried for four (4) rounds but he can't handle being hit any longer.

    LM had been rendered Flight instead of fight ex fighter. Like Tyson after he lost and went away
