    Terence Crawford is possibly the best fighter in boxing, pound for pound. He has the handspeed, the reflexes and the footwork to beat anyone at LWW. Postol, on the other hand, is a gangly, predictable slugger like George Foreman or Kelly Pavlik. This type of fighter always gets beaten by a crafty slickster.

    Why are people even giving Postol a chance of winning? Just put all your money on Crawford to win, and then collect your easy reward after the fight.

    :lol: No disrespect

    1. You sound like you're attempting to shift the odds.
    2. I don't know about "school", but I do believe Crawford wins.

    If Crawford wins, it won't be by outboxing Postol, I don't think he can. It'll be by out dogging him. I think Crawford has to win on the inside or at least mid in/mid out.

    Postol isn't a slugger that's ridiculous. Postol is a quality operator who I expect to give Crawford alot of trouble early in this fight with his length height and jab.

    It usually takes Bud some time to adjust and get his timing down. I favor Crawford here (admittedly, I've been a fan of his longer), but I can see a scenario where Postol wins if he does a good enough job keeping Bud off balance that he can't adjust to it in the mid-rounds.

    Postol's not an easy out, and Bud deserves props if he can get the job done.

    TC is not in the same stratosphere as Rigo, Ward, Gonzalez in a p4p sense imo.

    Nah, I think he'll beat him but it won't be a schooling.

    bud is gonna lose the 1st half of fight and win the 2nd half of fight. its gunna be a close fight but most important edge goes to crawford with his ability get guys outta there.

    if bud doesnt get him out of there late i think its gunna be a really close fight on scorecards.

    Terrence needs to win this for himself and the American boxing. EEs and Brits grabbing all the titles now.

    It's a close fight. And LOL at Postol being a Slugger, the dude has really good fundamentals and skills, with a good jab to boot. Postol will give it a good go, though I do think Crawford could stop him late.
