    actually if you recall, in many of crawfords previous fights people did lay gloves on him. even though postol went the distance IMO he did worse than many of the men before him. as billed this was supposed to be crawfords biggest test, ultimately it was a mismatch. postol was completely out of his depth.

    He's a "coward"?

    Ah, the journalistic acumen of CST.

    well, we did know who was going to win- the 6-1 favorite.

    postol has maximized what he's got.. but in the end, what he has is slow hands.

    Calm down. Crawfor vs Lundy, Jean, Dulorme, and Gamboa were exciting fights. And this is coming from a guy who originally picked Postol to win.

    Bud'll get plenty of props for this, and rightfully so. :good

    As for the hate, I wouldn't sweat it. People don't waste time hating bad fighters, they only waste their time hating on guys who are worth a damn.

    Who beats Crawford at 140? Honestly I think he could probably go up to ww and be a champ, dudes a special talent and ppl will discredit him for whatever reason.

    people are going to say crawford ran but he landed by far the most significant punches. postol was moved on seemingly every power punch. crawford executed the game plan to a tee, but it's clear crawford's team expected postol to be more aggressive. postol was waiting to counter all fight.

    Was competitive from 1-4 and 11-12. But yeah round 5-10 Crawford schooled him.

    TBH, it's not exactly a difficult prediction. Most said the same thing.

    I thought it was an awesome fight. Nothing better than seeing two top dogs doing what they do best.

    I thought Figueroa vs Arakawa was boring... for reference.

    B in my eyes, solid win against a solid opponent, but he was capable of taking him out.
