    So at least you agree with me that in this particular fight he did run a bit unnecessarily much, no?

    I strongly suggest anyone who thought crawford was boring in anyway to get a new hobbie.
    Masterful Whitaker like performance with power.

    Whitaker would/could stand right in front of you while making you miss all night.
    Crawford averaged 27mph with his sprinting.

    I strongly suggest anyone who thought Crawford was exciting in anyway to stay in your house all day and don't get any hobbie for you'll get a heart attack.

    Crawford is class. I doubt Mayweather would beat him if he left retirement.

    That side side movement with the fluid hooks from all angles, gonna be very hard to beat that style.

    Postol is a quality operator and was the best LWW in the world before this fight, he was made to look very poor against Crawford.

    Crawford might not have the best style for action fans but a guy who's willing to fight Beltran and Postol should be hyped about no end. Typically avoided fighters and Crawford dominated them both to win lineal championships in two divisions.

    If his next two fights are against Pac and Thurman and he wins both he's p4p number 1 for me.

    I found the fight frustrating to watch, but the blame for that must sit with Postol, not Crawford.

    Crawford has incredibly fast feet, and uses that ability to stay out of harm's way and to flummox his opponent. It was Postol's job to cut off the ring, tag Crawford to the body, and put the brakes on him. He failed miserably at this task, and so Crawford cruised to victory.

    Also, Crawford stopped and had a fight with Postol on a few occasions. In the 12th, he motioned Postol forward and they had a s**** together for a short while.

    Crawford has shown in the past he is all too willing to have a tear-up (like he did against Gamboa). It's just that he has been far too good for all his other opponents, hence why many of his fights have been largely boring to watch.

    Crawford out classed postol clearly
    That being said i was disappointed he didnt KO him. It was obvious he could have.
    I do understand why he showboated, danced & jogged instead of go toe to toe at the end... there was alot of dough on the line for the pac fight.
