    People tend to forget a desperate hurt Featherweight had Crawford badly hurt doing a chicken dance and out on his feet late, as in right before Crawford stopped him, Postol is great at stopping guys late.:deal

    Postol stopped Aydin and Matthysee neither had been stopped before, Crawford could NOT stop Prescott or Beltran both of them have been stopped previously, he could even drop the Rickster, and Zlaticanin almost KO'd him in 1.

    Crawford stopped a Featherweight midget and Lundy, Sanabria and Dulorme all of whom have been dropped or stopped previously. Jean was out on his feet against Peterson. Try having a little non fanboy perspective here.

    Crawford's power is being overrated, Postol's underrated as is his skillset.

    For the record, I'm not a fan of Postol or his style.

    Once Crawford works out the range and height and the Jab, i expect him to takeover and box it to a close UD.

    Its going to be damn hard for Bud to work out the range against a guy with a 4 inch reach advantage and 3 or 4 inch height advantage, who fights both long and tall.

    Yeh he will have to bring out all of his tools, Bud is quite a complete fighter. However Postol will need to just change it up a bit i expect him to lead in the first part of the fight , a little bit of variation could see victor pull the decision.

    I'm going wit Postol in a boring fight. Crawford has always has the reach advantage and makes use of it. Not gonna help him here. Postol can just box from the outside and Crawford won't be able to get anything off.

    And Crawford is one of my favorite fighters btw.

    If Postol had more power, I'd favor him, but he doesn't. I know he stopped Aiden and Matthysse, but I'm still not convinced of his power. Aiden got caught with a punch he couldn't see coming and Matthysse didn't want to get his eye damaged.

    I do like his work ethic though. From all accounts, he works very hard and he's a great student. His height and reach will give Crawford problems early, but I see Crawford adjusting and winning the fight 8-4.

    Postol is a good fighter, but there's nothing special about him. And that's why I'm favoring Crawford.

    Well a good sharp jab is enough to bust up anyone, follow that very a few right hands. Crawford will have to show all his skills and power here.
    we shall see, i side with your prediction for the moment.

    I love this propagandistic reimagining.:lol:

    Postol had hurt Matthysse a few rounds beforehand, and he was getting lit up in the last 4, Postol hit him so hard he went blind for a few seconds, and he quit, that speaks volume's, he hits so hard and accurately that he made Matthysse who is a warrior's warrior QUIT on his knees. So yeah he did stop the s*** out of Matthysse.

    This fight was a SHAME. Postol hard? rewatch the punch, IT'S AN ARM PUNCH.

    This fight is a shame the same way it's a shame that it hasn't been investigated thoroughly.

    Postol was so hurt by mattisse 2 rounds before taking the dive that matisse nearly had to hold him, and stopped hitting him anymore. He stopped hitting him but in the arms.

    TOTAL SHAME OF FIGHT.

    "I broke my eye!"

    It reminds me to that "I broke my back!, my spinal!"

    What a joke!

    The only possibility of postol winning that fight is Crawford taking a matisse, i mean, a d.... And i doubt it's going to happen.

    This.
    Gamboa at lightweight is a tiny man and more mediocre than very good. Crawford is one of the biggest lightweights I had ever seen.

    All of Mayweather's opponents took a dive and allowed Mayweather to win, then.
