HOLLYWOOD - Having the love of an entire country is a beautiful thing, if one can get it. Viktor Postol might have gotten close when he knocked out Lucas Matthysse of Argentina in the 10th round this past October at StubHub Center to win a vacant junior welterweight world title. The hard-hitting Matthysse was expected to win, but Postol beat the beast of Buenos Aires at his own game. Postol returned to his native Ukraine to a hero’s welcome.
