Gary A Russell had a good win vs Postol tonight, showed he can make adjustments vs a good opponent. The stoppage was bull****, 30 seconds left let Postol finish the fight he has never been stopped before. GAR is gonna be an issue for anyone at 140, excited to see him grow.
Salute to Postol, he’s from Ukraine and probably is headed back home to help defend his country. Had to be tough to fight with that and his family on his mind. Much respect to him, he will bounce back.
Colbert got whooped by a replacement fighter Hector Garcia, who is actually really good. Colbert tried to stand in the pocket and empose his will on him early thinking he’d fold like his other opponents but garcia handled it well and pushed colbert back into the ropes and put in great work all night . Colbert tried to switch to boxing around him when he saw garcia wasn’t a chump but at this point his legs were gone and garcia caught a rhythm and controlled the pace for the rest of the fight. Garcia’s left hand connected all night long and colbert got stunned and eventually got knocked down.
Colbert showed a little heart after that but u can tell he lost hope and knew he wasn’t winning this fight and in the last 2 rounds he basically quit imo, down big on all cards and he’s playing defense as if he doesn’t need a ko to win. That was disappointing to me because colbert talks HEAVY ****. But after the fight he gave garcia his credit so I respect that, he’s talented but is gonna have to prove he belongs where he says he does.
