Rooting for Matthysse in this one.

Soto vs Orozco is going to be a good one too. Soto is deep in the game but is still a solid boxer and Orozco will be tested by a veteran. With Orozco's fighting style they'll probably look to knock the old man out.

Soto's had fights canceled recently and one was a world title shot so I'm sure he's hungry to get back in the ring.

WAR MATTHYSSE!!!! I got Lucas stopping Postol late, around the 9th-10th.

Always great when we get fights for free that are better than most of the PPVs being put out nowadays. Lucas is my favorite active fighter, hope he pulls it out. Soto vs Orozco is an excellent appetizer bout.

Postol late TKO.

Postol looks like an excellent boxer but I picked Lucas to win by KO like I always do. He is a favorite of mine and he usually gets the KO. Lucas is a good boxer and a fast accurate and powerful combination puncher. He has a high work rate of quality punches.

Joe Habeeb at ThaBoxingvoice, and Richard Dwyer are picking Postol to win easy.

Personally I think big fight experience will be the main factor here. Also anybody else think Roach is not the trainer to have for Postol in this fight?

Well, they're going to be eating crow soon.

Matthysse will struggle in the early round. Postol will do a good job using his reach advantage and boxing skills....but Matthysse will start to catch him in the middle rounds and knock him out in brutal fashion. Matthysse by KO round 8.
