The way I see it and I could be wrong Viktor got lucky, right place and right time to beat Lucas Matthysse.

I'm glad I'm not the only skeptic.

The may be a classic case of a decent fighter whose stock inflated due to beating a great fighter.....see Antonio Tarver

When was Matthyse a great fighter? He was a great puncher, but there was no stretch where he looked like a guy that couldn't lose, I think Postol would have always taken him. Postol is also a big underdog for this fight tonight(rightfully imo) so I don't think his stock is inflated at all.

It's a type of fight that should always be made. This is a dangerous fight for Crawford, but I will respect him a ton win or lose.

Ironic that we voice our respect for a fighter doing what they're supposed to do.

I got my beer and vodka, this is a mouth salivating fight both dudes are really really good and really hungry, will be happy with either man winning so just hoping for a really good fight.

Yep. Looks like someone broke into my house and ordered this ;D. Looking forward to Oscar Valdez facing undefeated mystery man from Argentina. Still leaning Crawford but Postal is not to be played with. Size, awkward and extremely confident! We've had a number of "next top guy so and so" types get knocked off this year..

Nice shot by Karpency! Gvozdyk never saw it coming

Gvozdyk starting to regain control now ;) but Karpency still trying :)

Gvozdyk back in it now pouring it on in 4th. Karpency is a face of frustration.

Broken nose :( toughing it out now Karpency :cool:

Karpency going for broke in the last 20 seconds there :D nice shots klanded by both :cool:

That's it :D

Evening everybody. This is a decent undercard fight. I'm going for Crawford in the main course but Postol is a tall awkward bugger with the reach advantage. Crawford has been a disciplined guy in the ring up to now but we all know he's had some out of the ring incidents and he doesn't like paying his car repair bills. Maybe he gets frustrated tonight and blows up.

Oooh wicked bodyshot?

Gvozdyk really seasoned for early pro. Great gear set on punches. Touch, tap, thump ;D

Tommy taps in 6th with gashed nose

Karpency quit
