    Not at all I would love to see talk about this fight, unfortunately it's impossible because the forum is completely full of GGG hater threads 24/7

    I'm calling Crawford by SD, close tactical rounds that could go either way,

    Then you will see talk here, black versus white threads arguing about the result

    Crawford will destroy postol. He will send him to the hospital, not even an even fight. An absolute missmatch.

    I think this is an excellent fight, I'm actually weary to call out a winner. I've only seen 2 Postol fights (Lundy and Matthysse) but what I've seen is he could definitely spoil Crawfords undefeated record.

    I think Postol is a good fighter but I'm kind of struggling to see how he's going to win this. Yes he has the height and reach advantage and he also has good foot work and movement, but Crawford is faster, hits harder, is a good counter puncher and he throws dangerous combinations. He's also got home advantage and even though he's the one who moved up from 135 last year and Postol is a career 140 pounder, he'll probably have a significant weight advantage on the night too. He was coming in heavier than Postol when he was down at 135 than Postol did when he fought Matthysse.

    Postol was 148 against Matthysse which is a pound lighter than Crawford's lowest recorded ring weight at 135. And Crawford was 155 in his last fight.

    Terence Crawford VS Andrey Klimov - Contested at Lightweight

    Crawford: 149
    Klimov: 140

    Terence Crawford VS Yuriorkis Gamboa - Contested at Lightweight

    Crawford: 152
    Gamboa: 145

    Terence Crawford VS Raymundo Beltran - Contested at Lightweight

    Crawford: 153
    Beltran: 147

    Admittedly I've only seen Postol in action a few times though. He does look much better when he gets into his groove and starts unloading with combinations. If he's able to get into his rhythm and fight like that I think he'll stand a much better chance of winning.

    Too hard to pick this one, I need to watch Postol some more. May the best man win

    Goddamn and I thought I was melodramatic.:lol: Cool it with the hyperbole, he couldn't even KO Ray Beltran.
