This is the fight that we have all been waiting to see!

Postol and Crawford.

This is a fascinating fight because both guys are undefeated, both can box, and both can punch. I like both guys.

Crawford is a smooth boxer who scares me at times going southpaw.

I like Postol because he is a good boxer, but lately he has become more offensive minded under Roach which scares me also.

Freddie's fighters lack parrying and rolling with punches while on defense. Postol has a decent defense, but his ring movement is where he flourishes. Postol only has 12 ko's but don't let that fool you. He can punch. He uses his size to keep you at bay, clinches you and wears you down. He is now punching in combos and has become more of an offensive threat. But that's what scares me. BUT, that could also help Postol against Crawford...who can be timed at times and wobbled while he is throwing his hard shots.

Crawford can change a fight with one shot. He has a classic boxing style using a good jab, and can turn southpaw. This might not hurt Crawford going southpaw in this fight, but against fast fighters...he has been wobbled on occassion. Postol isn't as fast as the Crawfords last two opponents, but he isn't slow either.

Crawfords power is real and once he has you hurt, he finishes you. Postol has to maintain distance and move when he needs to. Will Postol set Crawford up with the jab? Those combos have been working lately so I don't know which is why I love this fight.

Lately Crawford has been brutalizing guys when he's had them hurt, so Postol has to use his 3 inch height and reach advantage to the max. Postol is a big 140 lber, and Crawford has WW power.

Both have a common opponent in Lundy. Lundy was able to land on both guys, but that's Lundy. He was able to land jabs on Postol, and combos on Crawford. What Postol does well is he will jab which is more of a way to get inside than rely on it and throw the right to the body and then throw combos after that with a clinch to follow which just wears guys down. He will stay stationary right in front of you without moving and lean back using great vision and wait until you come up short with your shots and counter.

Guys have used the earmuff defense on Postol when he punches in combos, so he throws that right to the body to bring your arms down and then boom combo after combo. That is Postols bread and butter shot. Crawford can't take that right to the body the whole fight. Crawford is nearly impossible to hit when he is orthodox and his earmuff defense where he parrys and rolls with punches is better than Postols.

Crawfords defense IMO is tailormade for Postols offense, but will Postol use the stick more than he ever has to set up the combination punching? That's my question.

Crawford has good balance, good defense, a good strong jab from either stance, and true power. Crawfords jab will be the key in this fight. He must use his jab to set Postol up when Postol looks to counter with his combos. That's when Crawford must lower the boom!

Will Crawford catch Postol and finish him, or will Postol break Crawford down and stop him? Who can outbox who if it goes to the cards. I don't think that this fight is going to the cards lol.

My opinion on this fight is that Crawford will catch Postol and finish him in 8.

Great fight, and may the best man win.
