He cheats, bends the rules, and does whatever he can to outweigh his opponent by 30 pounds at fight time..... probably to make up for his total lack of skill and dedication.
Garcia beat lucas clearly but the beating he took yesterday was worse.Quote:

Everyone is trying to make lucas into this beast again but he can't pull that beast mode off against a certain style..GGG will run into the same issue if he ever fights ward
jabbbed to death....literally
Damn, watching this fight now. Holy cow, I'm familiar with Postol so I didn't expect a blowout. Postol took Lucas away. When the hell does Lucas not get up. Shit, I feel bad for Lucas but he was completely dominated. Very upset but props to Postol. I'll need to go back and read this thread see if you guys were surprised as I was.
I was gutted Matthysse lost, but to be fair he was being rabbit punching scum all night.
Caught that, I agree, those back of the head shots are dangerous and I hate to see them myself. Some of it was Postol holding but a lot were Lucas frustration. I was dumbfounded how well Postol had Lucas number. What do the Roach haters say now.Quote:

Agreed. These things need to be viewed on a case by case basis under the present rules. This is simply not the same as what Jr pulled. Perhaps they should have rehydration clauses if they are not going to reinstall same day weigh ins?Quote:

Ps- It is sanctioned cheating. So are catchweights for title fights when the champ has to melt for a challenger especially. Again because of that coin.
It rated a 'holy cow'? Man I got to see it, hopefully this weekend.Quote:
