He quit and the question should be why? he looked mentally gone after the 6th or 7th round when he was hit with Postol's head .He said his vision was compromised and he tought he would have retinal detachment or something like that and he preferred just to keep his eyes .In my opiniion since his fight with garcia he had been always more concerned about his eye than the guy he had in front(Molina and Postol) .If he pretends to protect his eyes so much he should retire because he will get hit in the eye everytime he steps into the ring.
Postol was hitting him repeatedly AT WILL. Accurate, heavy volume punching can cause allot of damage, even if you are feather fisted.
RJJ was never stopped until he was in his mid 30s and had a longer career than Matthyse, yet people claim he's glass jawed
Unless Vladimir Putin has annexed Ukraine for the Russian Federation, Postol will for the mean time be considered Ukrainian, not Russian :roll:
Who's claiming to be any sort of warrior keyboard or otherwise, fans of sports weather it be boxing, football, cricket can comment on sporting events, otherwise shut down the ****ing forum Matthysse quit last night when the going got tough nothing made up about that, pure fact :deal
He had to take a dump and decided not to soil his pants in front of a worldwide audience. Can´t call that quitting.
Wonder if Matthysse was on the juice, earlier in his career, or was using loaded wraps. Three years ago nobody would have guessed a stiff, unathletic and somewhat primitively styled guy like Postol would bust him up and make him quit. Three years ago, Matthysse would have destroyed a guy like Postol.
Nah, it would've been the same. I think someone brought up how Matthysse fought against someone tall is his fight with John Molina Jr.
The only person (last night) that knows the seriousness of the eye is Lucas. I give him the benefit of the doubt. Have never thought a fighter, any fighter, owes keyboard warriors their life and health. He has stepped into the ring how many times and fought hard? Somehow keybaord warriors want to throw stones at a fighter that values his life and health as if he owed that to them for their casual interest. DUMB.
