    One of Crawford's better performances and it was against a top fighter in Postol

    A tediously dull anniversary well worth ignoring.

    Pistol a c level club fighter with his only claim to glory being a win over a completely shot and over the hill unmotivated Lucas Mattysse.

    You may as well have an anniversary for when someone beats Chris Algeri or Dave Allen in the heavyweight division.

    He was trying, but he had to chase Crawford who was running for the last 7 rounds after knocking Postol down twice in the 5th and he thought he'd built up a lead on the scorecards and didn't want to risk getting tagged. It was probably Crawford's most cowardly performance.

    This. Postol also kept his right hand low, which kept getting him countered by Crawford, who was fighting as a southpaw. Postol also had no handspeed. You need good handspeed to even trouble someone like Crawford.

    i beg to differ. postol wasnt trying his hardest if you ask me. he got knocked down twice in the 5th and he didnt want anymore. so he did not engage in any confrontation. postol fought like he was up on the scorecards. no sense of urgency. crawford was the smart tactical fighter.

    Great performance by Crawford, I thought Postol would be able to keep him away with his jab and long arms, Terence demonstrated that he was levels above, we musnt forget Postol was coming from outboxing and knocking out Aydin and Matthysse

    I wouldn't call the performance cowardly. He fought to his opponents weakness. He realized Postol had bad foot work and decided to stick and move. If he had gone on attack mode and lost he more than likely would be called a one trick pony. Not everyone can stand in front of their opponent and make them miss and pay. That is a tremendous skill to have.

    Crawford is usually boring to watch. That fight was very dull.

    Crawford won 10 of 12 rounds so he must not have been "running" too much. Look at the highlights, Postol was down twice and jelly legged at least two more times. In the 12th round it was Crawford begging Postol to fight not Postol pushing the action
