    I don't think TC and AW should be grouped together. TC can crack and box, actually fun to watch. AW can box and hold/smother, absolutely painful to watch.

    I don't really care to be honest how much he sells, but I know that in this fight Postol should have stepped it up. Crawford could have also but why would he? I mean if it was a poorer opponent than maybe. Also at the end of the fight it was hilarious, Postol managed to hit Crawford and it looked like it'd turn into a brawl and then Postol just started going back whilst Crawford was beckoning him. Yeah, I'm ****ed as well to be honest, the fight was poor and rather uncompetitive.

    I don't agree with it man, it's not selling out. And I don't even mean just going completely for broke I mean just taking more risks, Postol barely threw a punch.

    Crawford out on a master list but it was an ugly clash of styles. The fight was boring because Postol was one dimensional and I feel Crawford could have pressed the fight a bit more.

    He is fighting on PPV now gotta put on a show. Especially against opposition like Postol.

    I see what you're saying postol tried but Crawford figured him out pretty early and made him one dimensional. He got dropped twice. What else could he do? He knew if he opened up he would either get countered or beat to the punch. Postol is a good fighter a quality operator and would still probably beat everyone at 140. Crawford is just on another level.

    Crawford is anything but a disgrace to boxing. He simply doesn't live up to your movie fantasy version of boxing. You are not a boxing fan - you are a watching someone bleed fan. If that's your thing - so be it. Just don't confuse it with the sport of boxing.

    You clearly don't understand what you're watching. Crawford had Postol scared to throw, the guy did nothing.

    I don't mind when a fighter boxes and uses every inch of the ring. What I don't like, is when a fighter is dominating his opponent and elects to cruise, instead of stepping up the pace. The first 8 rounds or the fight Crawford boxed. But at a certain point, with the wide points margin, to run the clock and do the minimum amount of work, I'd consider that running. Or in the very least playing it extremely safe. If I want to see this type of entertainment, I'll just watch any of Floyd later fights on youtubd.

    :lol: Yeah, you keep telling yourself that.

    I just want blood. That's what it is. I don't want to see someone land punches and stand their ground a bit, be more active. I just want blood. Got it. :lol:
