    I give Crawford a solid edge here.

    Postol is too good to rule out entirely, but I would consider it an upset if he won.

    Didn't know that Postol was so underrated here. This could be a very good value bet.

    Postal is exceedingly tall, long, very skilled, and can punch.

    The way he beat down aydin and mattyhsse was shocking. This won't be easy at all for Crawford.

    If Crawford dominates then I'm on the bandwagon.

    I'm also a fan of Bud's and I agree with your take here. I think a large part of this has to do with him not fighting someone with power he truly respects yet.

    As a result, he'll do things like that and wind up getting hit with shots he could avoid for a few rounds until he gets his timing down.

    I think Postol does have the ability to give him headaches, but he's going to have to keep Bud guessing so that opportunity to get timed doesn't manifest itself. Crawford is dangerous once he gets locked on.

    I am Ukrainian and we all know who I will be cheering for but I do give Crawford an edge in this fight. I think he wins by UD but it won't be an easy fight.

    The guy to beat Crawford will be someone with one shot power who bounds out the traps. Postol is good, and a tall mother****er, but he isn't that guy.

    I've never really been sold on Postol.

    I think Crawford beats him comfortably.

    Postol will give Crawford fits early because he's tall and long and can box and Crawford is a very slow starter. However by the mid rounds though I think Crawford will be comfortably in control. With Crawford fighting all of those fast guys his last few fights this fight with Postol will seem like he's fighting underwater to him.

    Excellent post! I agree Crawford does seem to be very stubborn and will remain southpaw for far too long when he doesn't need to be. It's like he's trying to prove something.

    Genuine 50/50 fight.

    Crawford ships a lot of punishment in the early rounds . It takes him a while to adjust. And thats been against a crop of average guys from lower weight classes.

    Wouldn't be surprised if Postal puts a pasting on him. He looked a lot less vulnerable in his last fight against da Machine than Crawford did against Lundy.
